Although complications resulting from breast implant revision surgery are rare, there are risks involved with any medical procedure. In uncommon circumstances, breast implant removal may result in:
- A loss of nipple sensation
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Breast deformity, such as sagging
Complications resulting from breast implant replacement are similar to the risks involved with breast augmentation surgery. They include:
- Rippling
- Rupture
- Displacement
- Loss of nipple sensation
- Capsular contracture
When complications occur, they may be corrected with further cosmetic surgery. Discuss any possible risks and side effects thoroughly with your cosmetic surgeon before pursuing treatment.
