While studies have not found evidence that breast implants, either silicone or saline, are connected with serious disease, there are still risks. There are also long-term implications. Here are some of the breast implant safety issues that you need to consider.
Risks of Breast Implants
Some of the complications and adverse outcomes of breast implants include:
- Additional surgeries, with or without removal of the device
- Capsular contractual, scar tissue that forms around the implant and squeezes the implant
- Breast pain
- Changes in nipple and breast sensation
- Rupture with deflation of saline-filled implants
- Rupture with or without symptoms of silicone gel-filled implants
