Risks and side effects
Silicone implants may cause capsular contracture, implant rupture or malposition, rippling (waves of the implant visible on the surface), infection, and changes in nipple or breast sensation.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
