As with any surgery, breast enlargement and breast augmentations do have risks and it is important
to talk with a professionally certified surgeon about these risks before your surgery so you are fully aware of some of the complications and side
effects of the procedure.

One of the most common problems after a breast augmentation is rippling. This happens when the fluid in the implant shell shifts and causes a crease in
the implant that can be felt and in more severe cases seen depending on the patient’s specific skin type and thickness.

Another problem that can occur is capsular contractions. This is when the scar tissue that naturally develops around the breast implant during healing
begins to contract and creates pressure around the implant causing pain as the breasts harden. The more sever the case the more noticeable the symptoms
and distortion of the breast could occur. This happens more to patients who have their implants placed outside of the chest muscle in appose to ones
who have their implants placed behind the chest muscle wall. There is speculation as to why this happens to patients but no know true reasons as to
what causes it.

As with any type of surgery, infection is a serious risk to watch out for after surgery. Infection usually occurs within the first six weeks after
surgery and most are treated with antibiotics. However when it comes to breast enlargements it must be noted that the breast implants may need to be
removed, should infection occur and new ones cannot be inserted until all signs of infection are gone.

Other risks that can occur after breast enlargements are bruising, numbness of the nipple and
breast, displacement of the implant, ruptured implants, and mammography and breast-feeding interference. One should go over these risks with their
doctor and discuss any concerns and way that they can reduce the risk of such side effects from happening.
