What are the risks associated with breast augmentation ?
The breast augmentation surgery carries risks, as any other operation. List of possible complications include changes in nipple or breast sensation, blood clots, infection, reaction on anesthesia. Capsular contracture is the most prevalent possible complication. It occurs when the rumen around the implant hardens or becomes tight or if there is extreme scar tissue around the implant.
