How many risks are there with breast augmentation?

Jan 30, 2010

hi. i am an admited worry wort. i want to get breast implants, its just that i worry about the risks. i have researched lots of questions here on this site and also went to the fda web site for understanding risks. the list on the fda site: * reoperations (additional surgeries), with or without removal of the device * capsular contracture (hardening of the area around the implant) * breast pain * changes in nipple and breast sensation * rupture with deflation for saline-filled implants * rupture with or without symptoms for silicone gel-filled implants * migration of silicone gel for silicone gel-filled breast implants. Do doctors think this is comprehenisve list? are these one in a million type of problems or one in ten?  in other words, what are actual risk of bad complications from BA?
