What is the risk / complication of breast augmentation?
Capsular contracture occurs if the capsules around the implants begin to tighten and thicken. This will cause the breasts to feel hard and appear unnatural. Hard breasts can be treated in several ways. Sometimes removal of the capsule is required, or perhaps the implant needs to be replaced. Bleeding is usually minimal during the operation. In an unusual case, bleeding after surgery may cause a large blood clot that needs to be removed. Infection is an uncommon risk. However, if a breast becomes infected, the implant must be removed immediately. You need to wait for several months before repeating the operation.
