While all surgical procedures carry some risk, breast augmentation is a very safe surgery. There are both short term and long-term risks for breast augmentation surgery in Beverly Hills. Short-term risks include anesthetic problems, infection and bleeding. Patients with good general health and no family history of anesthetic problems, the risks of any adverse outcomes of general anesthesia are minimal. The risk of infection from breast augmentation surgery is usually less than 1%. Our practice is to give antibiotics both before and after surgery for 5-7 days. Rarely a patient may require prolonged antibiotic therapy if an infection does develop. Lastly, risks of bleeding (hematoma) are about 2-3%. If this does occur, it is usually apparent within the first 6 to 12 hours after surgery. Patients most commonly complain of swelling and pain on the affected side. If there is significant bleeding, you may need to return to the operating room to have the blood evacuated. |
