Are there any dangers women should watch out for?

Well, many women opt to use breast implants, but they should be aware of some of the dangers. There are many risks associated with Breast Surgery that should be seriously considered and discussed with family members and doctors prior to making a decision. Breast augmentation has risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure.

The most common problem occurs if the scar or capsule around the implant begins to tighten- this is called capsular contracture. This squeezing of the soft implant can cause the breast to feel hard. Capsular contracture sometimes requires either removal or "scoring" of the scar tissue, or perhaps removal or replacement of the implant.

Some women develop an infection around an implant. This may occur at any time, but is most often seen just after surgery. In some cases, the implant may need to be removed for several months until the infection clears. Excessive bleeding following the operation may cause some swelling and pain. If excessive bleeding continues, another operation may be needed to control the bleeding and remove the accumulated blood.

Some women report that their nipples become oversensitive, or under-sensitive. One may notice numbness near their incisions. These symptoms usually disappear within time, but may be permanent in some patients.

Occasionally, breast implants may leak like what happened to me, or break. This can sometimes occur from the normal movement of your breast and implant, causing the shell to leak. If a saline-filled implant breaks, the implant will deflate in a few hours and the salt water will most likely be absorbed by the body.

If a break occurs in a gel-filled implant two things may occur. If the shell breaks but the scar capsule around the implant does not, you may not notice any change. If the scar also breaks or tears, silicone gel may move into surrounding tissue. The gel may collect in the breast and cause new scars to form or it may move to another area of the body. There might be a change in the shape or firmness of the breast. The above may require a second operation. In some cases, it may not be possible to remove all of the silicone gel in the breast tissue if a rupture should occur.

A few women with breast implants have reported symptoms similar to diseases of the immune system, such as scleroderma and other arthritis-like conditions. These symptoms may include joint pain or swelling, fever, fatigue, or breast pain.

What about Cancer risks?

Breast implants may change the way mammography is done to detect cancer. When you request a routine mammogram, go to a radiology center where they have experience in the special techniques needed to get a solid x-ray of a breast with an implant. Ultrasound examinations may be useful in some women with implants to detect breast lumps or to evaluate the implant.
