As with any surgical procedure, breast implant removal surgery carries some risks, although complications are uncommon.
These may include:
- Delayed wound healing – in rare cases, the area where incisions meet may separate slightly and require additional dressings
- Firmness in breast tissue – small areas beneath the skin may feel firm during healing, typically softening over time
- Temporary nipple numbness – sensation changes can occur but usually improve as recovery progresses.
Your surgeon will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation to ensure you feel fully informed and reassured.
