Veins /breast implan: Breast implants do not usually affect breast veins . Most probably veins show more the larger breast.

Veins: After breast augmentation surgery, you may sometimes notice that the veins in your breast more prominent. This is due to the pressure exerted by the implant causing decreased venous return and engorgement of the vessels. Over time this subsides as tissue relaxes.

Occurs not commonly: This does occur but not necessarily on a frequent basis. It may be due to venous o structure or cautery of veins and collaterization that occurs with muscle release.
