As Dr. Ahmet Kaplan, I’m explaining in detail all the risks associated with breast augmentation surgery (augmentation mammoplasty). This guide covers potential complications and preventive measures.
1. Infection Risks
Postoperative infections occur in 1-2% of cases. Symptoms include:
- Fever above 38°C
- Severe pain
- Redness and swelling
- Pus discharge
2. Capsular Contracture
Scar tissue hardening around implants (Baker classification):
- Grade I: Mild firmness
- Grade IV: Painful, visible deformity
| Implant Type | Lifespan |
|---|---|
| Silicone | 10-15 years |
5 Key Prevention Measures
- ✓ Choose an experienced surgeon
- ✓ Use high-quality implants
- ✓ Quit smoking before surgery
Can I breastfeed after augmentation?
Yes, most patients maintain breastfeeding capability.
Dr. Ahmet Kaplan provides detailed pre-operative consultations to minimize risks.
