I Want a Breast Augmentation but I'm So Scared, How High is the Risk That Something Goes Wrong?

Every surgery comes with risk but there are some factors to consider when thinking about safety.


Your doctor should be board-certified. The most prestigious certification comes from the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the official national examining board for professional plastic surgeons, whose members are qualified to perform reconstructive and plastic surgery, as well as aesthetic or cosmetic surger

The anesthesiologist- any surgical procedure will require an anesthesiologist (an anesthesiologist is an M.D., whereas an anesthetist is not). Make sure that he or she is certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA).

The procedure should take place in an accredited facility.

Breast surgery and for that matter any surgery comes with some risks.  You should talk to your prospective doctor about your concerns to hopefully ease your concerns.
