Breast augmentation may incur risks which include but are not limited to: bleeding, bruising, swelling, infection, haematoma, seroma, delayed healing, scars of unpredictable quality, numbness in the nipple areolar complex, asymmetry an imperfect aesthetic outcome and pain. In the long term, there is a risk related to the implants themselves such as leak, rupture, rippling, capsular contracture and the very rare diagnosis of lymphoma. There is also a small risk of systemic complications such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

On average silicone breast implants may need to be exchanged after around 10 years following initial placement although they can last much longer.

Further surgery is likely to be required as your implants age.  The surrounding scar tissue may show signs of hardening known as encapsulation.

Our 'inclusive care' policy is such that if there is a complication or adverse outcome from surgery within the first year then we can provide any further treatment required at no additional cost to you.
