Having a breast enhancement operation exposes you to risks such as breast-feeding difficulties or implant leakage. Thus, it is essential to know these common risks and side-effects to better equip you on what to do.

Quite a number of patients who have undergone breast enhancement successfully breast feed. However, there is still a probability that it will interfere with the breast feeding process. Before going through the surgery, consult your surgeon about this. Sometimes, breast enhancement results to a loss of sensation in the nipple and breast area. This loss of sensation, which results from damaged nerve endings, may be temporary or permanent. The result would be based on the breast enhancement technique practiced by your surgeon.

Another potential risk of getting breast enhancement procedures are the leaking of the breast implant materials into the surrounding breast tissue. To decrease the probability of leaking, make sure that the implant material that will be utilized is approved by the FDA. Implants may also burst or tear over time. Normally, snaps take place when there is excessive compression or trauma to the breast. It may also be due to the natural aging of the implant. Sometimes, it is mammography itself that compresses the breast implant, thereby inducing it to rupture.

The worst risk in breast enhancement rests in its inference of breast cancer detection. Breast enhancement implants may conceal breast tumors during mammography or ultrasound. For patients with breast enhancement, additional views and special imaging are necessary during breast examination. The “Eklund displacement views” helps maximize the visibility of the breast tissue to further detect tumors.

Before trying a breast enhancement surgery, it is recommended to discuss the possible side effects with your chosen licensed surgeon who has enough experience in breast enhancement. Ensure that the surgeon will inform you of everything you need to know about the procedure and its fall-out.
