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

Quite a number of patients who have tried breast enhancement successfully breast feed. However, there is still a probability that it will affect 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 damaged nerve endings, may be temporary or permanent. The outcome would be based on the breast enhancement technique practiced by your surgeon.

Another possible danger of having breast enhancement procedures are the leaking of the breast implant materials into the adjacent breast tissue. To decrease the possibility of leaking, make sure that the implant material that will be used is accredited by the FDA. Implants may also burst or tear over time. Normally, snaps take place when there is excessive compression or injury to the breast. It may also be due to the natural aging of the implant. Sometimes, it is mammography itself that contracts the breast implant, thereby inducing it to tear.

The worst risk in breast enhancement lies 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 required during breast examination. The “Eklund displacement views” helps maximize the visibility of the breast tissue to better detect tumors.

Before undergoing a breast enhancement surgery, it is recommended to discuss the possible side effects with your preferred certified surgeon who has enough experience in breast enhancement. See to it that the surgeon will inform you of everything you need to know about the procedure and its consequences.
