Some of the potential risks & complications of breast augmentation include:

Infection: Infection can occur at the incision site, around the implant, or deep in the tissue.



Bleeding: Excessive bleeding can occur during or after surgery, and may require additional surgical intervention.

Scarring: Scarring is a natural part of the healing process, but some patients may develop excessive scarring that can be unsightly or uncomfortable.

Capsular contracture: Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant, causing it to harden and become misshapen.

Implant rupture: Breast implants can rupture or leak, which may require surgical removal or replacement.
