Is Breast Augmentation Safe?
Breast augmentation is an established surgical procedure, but it is still an operation—and every operation has potential risks.
Good care begins with honest information. Your NDV MED team will explain the expected benefits, limitations, alternatives, and possible complications before you decide.
What Are the Possible Risks?
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Infection
- Anesthesia complications
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Visible or raised scars
- Breast asymmetry
- Implant movement or incorrect positioning
- Implant rippling, leakage, or rupture
- Persistent pain or fluid accumulation
- Delayed wound healing
- Capsular contracture
- The need for revision surgery
Capsular contracture occurs when the natural scar tissue around an implant tightens and makes the breast unusually firm. More severe cases may cause discomfort or change its appearance.
Rare implant-associated cancers have also been reported, including BIA-ALCL, which has been associated more frequently with certain textured implants. Your doctor should explain the implant being proposed and its known safety information.
How Does Your NDV MED Team Approach Safety?
Your care begins with a medical assessment covering your health, medications, previous procedures, breast anatomy, and expectations.
Your team will also guide you through preparation, the proposed implant and technique, postoperative care, warning signs, and long-term monitoring.
No responsible clinic can promise a risk-free operation or guaranteed result. Your NDV MED team provides careful planning, clear communication, coordinated care, and follow-up throughout recovery.
