Brief Answer:
complicated procedure with life time complications
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The following is a list of local complications and adverse outcomes that occur in at least 1 percent of breast implant patients at any time.
The First possibility is tightening of the tissue capsule around an implant.
The Second possibility is Collection of fluid around the implant. May cause swelling, pain and bruising.
The third one is infection.
The longer you have breast implants, the more likely it is that complications will occur and you will need to have them removed.
I suggest you to to consult your treating surgeon and get to know the type of complication. treatment could be simple antibiotic course or re-operation in case of rupture, scar revision, repositioning of implant or drainage of fluid.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
