Just like any surgery, a breast implant exchange comes with a few risks that patients should be aware of. These risks include anesthesia-related complications, breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), asymmetry, rupture, leakage, and the possibility of other rare breast implant-associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC). However, under the care and high-quality treatment of the experienced and skilled doctors at Austin Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, these rare risks can often be avoided, and any common side effects can easily be managed.
