Side effects from breast augmenation
Side effects may start immediately after an augmentation. These may include pain, infection, bleeding, etc. Late side effects may include rupture or leaking of the implants and scarring (capsular contracture.) Make sure you follow up with your plastic surgeon as directed, and call him/her soon if you notice any side effects beginning to occur.

Early complications from breast augmentation surgery

Breast augmentation complications can occur any time
There is always a chance that right after breast augmentation some bleeding can occur resulting in a hematoma. This may be noticed right away as increased pain and pressure in an area with significant asymmetry of appearance. Infection, scarring and capsular contraction can happen at later times. Be sure to discuss the possibilities of a complication with your surgeon and what to look out for.
Good luck!

Early and late onset complications
Breast augmentation side effects could be divided into early and late onset.
Early onset complications include bleeding, accidental wound dehiscense and asymmetry. Late onset include include bleeding, infection, capsular contracture, asymmetry and re-operation.
In general, complications are not that common and with good surgical techniques most of these complications could be avoided. Hope that helps!
