What are the risks associated with breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks. These risks include infection, bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, implant rupture, capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant), and dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome. It’s crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon and thoroughly discuss the potential risks and complications associated with breast augmentation before making a decision. The surgeon will provide detailed information and guide the patient through the process to ensure the best possible outcome.
