Post Surgery Breast Augmentation Complications Are Alive And Well

Countless women have the desire to have the "perfect" breasts and when this desire is sought after they need to know there is always the risk of post surgery breast augmentation complications.

As with any surgery there is always the risk of complications since it is an invasive procedure. So when it comes to breast augmentation there is no exception to this rule. It is always good to know what can happen for better or worse when it comes to any type of surgery. You want to know what all the potential outcomes are so you are mentally and emotionally prepared for good or bad results. In the event that you experience post surgery problems this will help your emotional recovery.

Numerous complications can occur after the surgery and you will want to keep an eye out for these immediately after your surgery. Typical complications include but are not limited to post-operation bleeding, tissues filling with fluid and infection like redness and pain or tenderness. It is not uncommon for complications to exist within the first 3 years of surgery. They are things like breast pain, nipple sensitivity, implant leaking and even interference with breast-feeding.

Feelings in the breast and nipple can change after the implant surgery has been completed. Changes can constitute increased sensitivity, chronic pain and lack of feeling in the nipple for months or even years after the surgery. It is common (2-8%) that after a few years breast augmentation patients will have chronic breast pain.

An additional 1-2% report breast sensitivity changes and 3-10% realize nipple problems such as loss of sensation in that area. Keep in mind that these statistics are the same for both silicone gel implants and the saline implants.

Long-term data after 5 years regarding breast augmentation complications and women that had saline or silicone implants does not exist. Always be aware that complications can impair nipple sensitivity that can be temporary or lasting. Additional difficulties can be comprised of a negative effect on sexual responsiveness and/or the ability to breast-feed.

Make sure you are educated pertaining to all the steps regarding breast augmentation surgery including the risks and complications.

More and more women are turning from these risky procedures to natural alternatives for breast enhancement. Herbs that stimulate estrogen and other hormones exist and will increase breast size and there is a new ingredient that has shown in clinical studies to increase breast size by up to 8.4% in clinical studies.

Options that are safe, successful and not invasive exist. Take time to inform yourself so that you make the decision and can stick by it.
