DISCLAIMER
Please be aware that all surgery carries risk and the expected result and the actual result may differ. Individual results vary. Perfect symmetry is impossible. There will always
be subtle differences between each breast but it is our utmost concern to minimise asymmetry through sound surgical technique and appropriate preoperative preparation.
Relevant complications include partial or total loss of nipple sensation with breast reduction/lift procedures, fat necrosis, permanent scarring, asymmetry of size and shape of breasts, loss of flap skin, nipple/areolar ischaemia or potentially loss of the nipple (1 in 1000), loss of the ability to breast feed in approximately a third of patients,infection 3-5%, haematoma 3%, implant malposition and or rupture leading to the need for revision ought to be considered when deciding about having implants inserted. There is also the remote risk of BIA ALCL or BIA SCC with certain textured implants (1 in 40000) - this is a cancer of the lymphatic system directly attributable to textured implants but if detected early is usually treatable. You will be provided printed information pamphlets pertinent to the procedure you are having by your surgeon during the consultation to assist in your understanding of the procedure and the risks that go along with that particular operation. Special recovery bras will be advised to be worn continuously for 6 weeks postop to aid in recovery of the procedure.
