First and foremost, let us begin by saying that all surgical procedures have risks; it’s impossible to not. However, if you’re concerned with the risks that are associated with breast implant surgery before you make an appointment to get breast implants in Bakersfield or Fresno California, below is a bit of information that can help.

Infection or poor healing of the incision can be a risk caused by breast implant surgery. This is rather uncommon seeing as many plastic surgeons that do breast implants in Bakersfield or Fresno give antibiotics as to divert infection of any kind.

Scarring may occur after breast implant surgery. Depending on the incision type, this may be avoided or at least greatly minimized. You will have to discuss this issue further with your Bakersfield surgeon to get their opinion on what will work best for you.

Another risk associated with breast implant surgery is sensitivity. This sensitivity is typically short term, but may also become a long term issue. The odds of this happening are rare if the incision is made further away from the nipple.

There are other risks associated with breast implants. If you would like to know more, be sure to contact your board certified plastic surgeon in Bakersfield or Fresno for a face-to-face visit or a schedule friendly virtual consultation.
