Hello. I am 5 weeks post op from dual plane 2 to 3 350 cc saline implants. MI’m 5’11 and 140lbs. I LOVE my results so far and feel great. My surgeon is board certified and wonderful. My only problem is I’m obsessively worrying about developing a complication and losing these wonderful results. I’ve followed my surgeons directions to a tee. How common are complications? Should I worry about capsular contracture Bottoming out, and animation deformity?

Answer: Breast augmentation issues My only suggestion is to stop perusing the internet looking for problems! You'll drive both yourself AND your plastic surgeon crazy. If you massage your breasts (according to your surgeons directions), then the risk of capsular contracture is minimal (rates on the internet are form 6-10%, however, my and other surgeon's rates have been significantly lower). The risk of bottoming out is both a technical one (if the pocket was made too low), a risk of weak scar tissue formation at the base of the pocket (patient independent, still low risk) and the size of the implants (the larger the more weight and higher chance of downward descent). Lastly, wearing a supportive bra as much as possible (especially when exercising) reduce the weight and strain on the lower portion of the pocket.

Answer: How common is capsular contracture, bottoming out, and animation deformity? How common is capsular contracture, bottoming out, and animation deformity in your plastic surgeon's practice? Good question and you might ask him (her) what his experiences are with these complications.
