5. DISSATISFACTION WITH COSMETIC RESULTS
Dissatisfying results such as wrinkling, uneven sizes, implant shifting, incorrect size, unanticipated shape, ability to feel implant, scar deformity, irregular or raised scarring, and/or sloshing may occur. Careful surgical planning and technique can reduce but not always prevent such results. For saline-filled implants with valves, you may be able to feel the valves. Repeated surgeries to improve the appearance of the breasts and/or to remove ruptured or deflated prostheses may result in an unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome.
6. INFECTION
Infection can occur with any surgery and at any time. Most infections appear within a few days to weeks after the -surgery. Infections with an implant present are harder to treat than infections in normal body tissues because infection may not respond to antibiotics. The implant may have to be removed and replaced after the infection is gone.
