4. Surgical Risks
In addition to local complications from breast augmentation, there are also surgical risks that should be considered. As with any type of surgery that a person undergoes, there is a risk from the anesthesia. Some other risks that are associated with breast augmentation surgery include infections as well as a hematoma.
A hematoma occurs when blood collects around the implants. Each of these risks can range from being quite mild to very severe. The risks from surgery are the highest during and right after the surgery is completed.
However, some complications from breast augmentation may require more surgery, which will also have some of the same risks. Some women have to face these risks more than once in order to correct issues with their implants or if the implants need to be replaced with a new one for any reason.
It is important to discuss these risks with your doctor and be sure to voice any concerns.
