What are the potential risks during Breast Augmentation surgery?

    I have done several thousand breast augmentations, and all of my patients have emerged from surgery without incident.  The main reasons to have another operation would be capsular contracture, rupture, need for breast lift, and size change.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

All surgery has risks. Risk of anesthesia, infection,bleeding, poor scars and risks associated with the way implants interact with breasts. If you choose a reputable surgeon and a reasonable implant your risks are quite low for this procedure!
