For most women who live their lives in bodies they are not satisfied with, the humiliation of small or deformed breasts is too much to live with if it can be helped. Maybe the women were teased growing up, or some other painful memory haunts them. No matter what the reason, the desire to correct their flaws is strong and unending. For these women, cosmetic surgery far outweighs the risks of surgery. If this scenario applies to you, think before acting. Before going under the knife, you should know the risks. As with any surgery, there is a risk of complications from anesthesia, bleeding, infection, slow healing, and scaring. The risks of those complications happening with a breast augmentation surgery aren't any higher than with any other type of surgery, so long as the surgeon is good, you have followed all the pre-op instructions and proper sterilization procedures are followed. Breast Augmentation specific risks are many, though relatively rare. Capsular contracture, that is, hardening of the scar tissue surrounding the implant, is arguably the most common complication. Breast droop, deflation, displacement and rupture of the implant is also not unheard of. Wrinkling of the implant is more common, as well as more noticeable, in women with naturally sparse breast tissue. Skin irregularities, such as puckering, can occur with breast augmentation surgery. Desensitized breasts, nerve damage and complete nipple numbness have also been reported. More serious risks include hematoma, which is pooling of clotted blood in the breasts. Seroma, another serious risk, is the pooling of watery blood around the implant. Though very rare, symmastia is another risk to consider. Symmastia happens when the implants move and merge into one mass. The best way to avoid these complications is to find a good surgeon. For the best plastic surgery, Beverly Hills is the place to look. Make sure your surgeon has full credentials, a great history, mal-practice insurance, references and hospital privileges. Your surgeon should have a healthy respect for your wishes and be able to guide you in the right direction. He or she should also be able to answer any questions about the risks and benefits of breast augmentation.
