Getting a breast enhancement procedure exposes you to perils such as breast-feeding difficulties or implant leakage. Thus, it is necessary to know these common dangers 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 interfere with the breast feeding process. Before moving through the surgery, confer with your surgeon about this. Sometimes, breast enhancement leads 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 surrounding breast tissue. To lessen the possibility of leaking, make sure that the implant material that will be utilized is accredited by the FDA. Implants may also break or rupture over time. Usually, ruptures take place when there is radical compression or trauma to the breast. It may also be due to the natural aging of the implant. Sometimes, it is mammography itself that presses 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 further detect tumors.

Before undergoing a breast enhancement surgery, it is recommended to discuss the possible fallouts with your chosen licensed surgeon who has enough experience in breast enhancement. Ensure that the surgeon will inform you of everything you need to know about the procedure and its fall-out.
