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

Quite a number of patients who have tried breast enhancement successfully breast feed. However, there is still a possibility that it will interfere with the breast feeding process. Before moving through the surgery, confer with 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 broken nerve endings, may be temporary or permanent. The outcome would be based on the breast enhancement technique applied by your surgeon.

Another potential danger of having breast enhancement procedures are the leaking of the breast implant materials into the adjacent breast tissue. To lessen the probability of leaking, make sure that the implant material that will be utilized is approved by the FDA. Implants may also break or rupture over time. Normally, ruptures happen when there is radical compression or injury to the breast. It may also be due to the natural aging of the implant. Sometimes, it is mammography itself that constricts the breast implant, thereby causing it to bust.

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

Before trying a breast enhancement surgery, it is recommended to discuss the possible side effects with your selected qualified surgeon who has adequate experience in breast enhancement. See to it that the surgeon will tell you of everything you need to know about the procedure and its consequences.
