Risks of breast augmentation

Barry E. DiBernardo, MD answers: Breast augmentation - what are some common risks?

I am 39 years old, married, mother of 2, and considering BA (breast augmentation). Very worried about problems associated with implants. Have read and seen the horror stories. Started out being excited about bigger boobies...not so sure now. Want to really know what the risks are and how common they are?

The common risks are those common to any surgery  namely bleeding , infections, wound problems , byt these are very low if done by a skilled surgeon. Risks inherent to breast implants themselves include capsular contracttion ( getting firm around the implant), valve failure (rupture) if a saline implant , and displacement  of positon.. Again, your best protection is to go to someone experienced and reputable .
