Breast augmentation surgery mainly changes the shape and size of the chest by implanting breast implants. However, breast implants also have some risks:
First, the implant may produce a capsule, which is due to an immune response of the human body to the implant. If the capsule shrinks excessively or is infected, it may cause the breast to become hard or deformed.

Finally, the detection of breast hyperplasia and breast diseases. Implants may affect the effect of breast self inspection and mammography, which may affect the early detection of breast diseases.

Finally, the surrounding tissues and organs, such as nerves and blood vessels, may be damaged during the operation. This may lead to abnormal breast sensation or other complications.
