There are risks associated with breast enhancement surgery. Like with any other type of surgery, exploring all the options with your doctor is recommended before following through with a cosmetic operation. If after understanding all the risks involved, you are still interested in getting breast implants, Physicians Marketing Group wants to hear from you.

The ongoing debate between silicone and saline is a hot topic. While silicone has no proven effects, the long-term possibilities have yet to be identified. For this reason, the Food and Drug Administration supports only saline-based implants. Ironically, both types of implants are made with silicone, though saline implants are filled with saline solution in lieu of silicone gel.

After breast enhancement surgery there are several risks that patients should be aware of. Capsular contracture is a technical term for the hardening of tissue. As the breasts heal, the body naturally forms a coating of scar tissue around the implant. This can cause unnatural firmness to the touch and to the eye. It doesn't necessarily occur in both breasts, which may further distort the natural shape.

Breast tissue atrophy is another risk associated with breast enhancement surgery. This condition causes the skin surrounding the breasts to thin and shrink, making the implant more visible. Infection and bleeding are also risks that must be taken in to consideration, though the chances of either occurring are slim (between zero and four percent). Education is the best way to prepare for these circumstances, and Physicians Marketing Group is to glad to help with all aspects of your breast enhancement surgery.
