Bleeding and Infection after breast implant or implants exchange surgery – These risks are similar to the risks associated and described in detail for cosmetic breast augmentation.
Recurrent capsular contracture after breast implant or implants exchange surgery- Excessive firmness of the breasts can recur soon after implants capsulectomy (breast scar tissue removal) surgery or years later. Scar tissue, may form again around the breast implant; it can tighten and make the breast round, firm, and possibly painful. The recurrence of symptomatic breast implants capsular contracture following capsulectomy is not predictable, if it develops it can be expected to increase over time. Breast capsular contracture may recur on one side, both sides or not at all. Treatment for recurrent breast capsular contracture may require additional breast implant or implants surgery, or breast implants removal.
Inability to remove capsular scar tissue after breast implant or implants exchange surgery- It may not be possible to completely remove all breast scar tissue that has formed around the breast implant(s). Its complete removal may result in significant loss of breast tissue in very thin women.
Damage to adjacent structures after breast implant or implants exchange surgery- Scar tissue may be adherent to breast tissue, muscle or the chest wall. These structures may be damaged during capsulectomy ( breast scar tissue removal ) surgery to remove the breast scar capsule.
Escaped silicone gel material after breast implant or implants exchange surgery- In situations that involve damaged, leaking, or ruptured silicone gel breast implants, the silicone gel material can be localized into the space inside the scar capsule layer surrounding the silicone gel breast implants shell. In other situations, the silicone gel breast implants material may have migrated outside of the breast scar capsule layer into the breast and other tissues. Additional breast surgical procedures may be needed to remove the migrated silicone gel breast implants material. It may not be possible to completely remove all silicone gel material discovered during capsulectomy or breast implant or implants exchange surgery.
Change in nipple and skin sensation after breast implant or implants exchange surgery- Some change in nipple sensation is not unusual right after breast implant and capsulectomy surgery. After several months, most patients have normal sensation. Partial or permanent loss of nipple and skin sensation may occur occasionally following cosmetic breast augmentation or capsulectomy.
Skin scarring after breast implant exchange or implants surgery- Excessive scarring is uncommon. In rare cases, abnormal scars may result. Scars may be unattractive and of different color than surrounding skin. Additional surgery may be needed to treat abnormal scarring after breast implant surgery.
Breast implants, Degradation of breast implants, breast implant displacement and extrusion – are identical to those risks associated with cosmetic breast augmentation risks.
