I have my ba scheduled for August after wanting one for the last decade. I'm going with silicone under the muscle and have felt great about my decision until last night. Found stories online about implant infections and how dangerous and painful the recovery is. Now I'm freaking out and second guessing my decision. What are the chances of something like an implant infection and is all the pain really worth it? I'm afraid of spending all this money and just ending up worse than when I started!

Answer: Breast Augmentation Pre Op Anxiety Hello,Thank you for your question. It is common for patients to be anxious closer to the surgery date and certainly more so when reading anecdotal stories on the internet. I recommend that you share your concerns and questions with your Plastic Surgeon and let their office answer/reassure you. Most of my patients say that the pain from breast augmentation is not as bad as they expected. Everyone experiences pain differently but this is a very common procedure with so many people undergoing BA daily who would tell you that for them, the results are well worth it. All the best

Answer: Worried about complications with breast augmentation It is perfectly understandable and in fact quite normal to get nervous before surgery. The statistics for complications for breast augmentation are fairly well known. Incidence of infection is at or less than 1%. It is also worth mentioning that over 90% of women who undergo breast augmentation express satisfaction with their decision. I think it is reasonable and important to make sure your surgeon knows you are having these feelings as he or she knows you best and may therefore best be able to put your mind at ease. Good luck!
