Implants are safe!: Breast surgery without implants (lifts, reductions) have few risks, and skilled plastic surgical procedures are available with many benefits and few risks. Implants are the most-studied products in the medical marketplace, and do not cause cancer, autoimmune illnesses, or systemic problems. They can require additional operations due to malposition, size change, or contracture. Dr. Tholen.

Breast augmentation: Breast augmentation has potential risks and complications just like any other surgery. You can have postoperative bleeding, there is an infection risk. The implants can not heal properly and require re-positioning. The implant can fail and require replacement. However it is the most reliable option that we have for increasing the size of the breast.

Not directly: Breast surgery does not negatively affect your health. However, like any surgery, breast or any body part, may have potential complications such as bleeding and infection that could in turn be serious.
