Downsides Of Breast Augmentation

Dr. Daniel Calva, Plastic Surgeon at Baptist Health South Florida, explains there are complications that can happen from some implants, such as pain when the muscle is stretching; because of this, the nerves can be trapped; there is also animation, which means the implant moves as you are moving. He also says there could be capsular contracture; it happens when the scar tissue around that implant becomes thicker and it starts to contract and it is very common; 30% of women that get implants can get it.
