There was once a lot of media attention directed towards breast implants. Silicone implants were found to be susceptible to leakage which could cause health problems. Today the only approved implants are saline implants. Take note that saline is a natural product already found in the body and leakage, if ever, is not threatening. Other concerns, however, are still present with saline as with silicone.
Remember that there are always risks with having a surgery, it can range from infections to anesthesia problems. Complications that are specific to breast augmentation include: loss of sensation, problems not being able to breastfeed in the future, and hardening of the implant. The most common complications are breast pain and numbness. The most serious complication that can occur is toxic shock syndrome, implants breaking the skin and skin dying.
The long term look at breast augmentation shows that many patients will have a need for at least one additional surgery within 10 years. There have not been studies to indicate how long an implant will last, but it is proven that they can break.
Breast augmentation is an expensive procedure. Most insurance companies do not cover this surgery. It is very important to understand why you want the surgery, what results can be achieved and what long term effects can occur. Reversing the surgery means extra pain and money.
