What are the risks associated with Breast Asymmetry Surgery?
Like all surgical procedures, with breast asymmetry surgery there is always a possibility of complications. Although these complications are extremely rare, they can include:
- Infection.
- Adverse reaction to anaesthesia.
- Excessive bleeding.
- Loss of nipple sensation.
- Unsatisfactory results.
- Implant rupture or shifting.
- Haematoma.
- Capsular contracture (internal scar tissue).
- Visible implant rippling.
- The need for second or sometimes third procedures.
Is there a link between breast asymmetry surgery and breast cancer?
Over the last few decades, there has been a lot of media attention on the risks of implants themselves: however, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that breast implants contribute to breast cancer.
Is there a link between breast asymmetry surgery and immune system disorders?
Some women have reported having symptoms such as:
- Joint pain swelling.
- Fever.
- Fatigue.
- Breast pain.
However, no scientific evidence exists to prove immune system disorders are directly related to breast asymmetry surgery.
