Complications from breast implant surgery are rare, and surgeons keep a close eye on patients to catch and prevent any issues. 

LJC plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar takes us through the most common complications: capsular contracture, implant rupture or deflation, and the need for revision surgery. 

Dr. Salazar explains what these complications are, how to tell if they’re happening to you, and the steps he takes before, during, and after surgery to minimize risks.

Find out if it’s safe to get mammograms with implants, what can happen if you don’t follow post-op instructions carefully, and whether implant companies provide warranties for ruptured implants.
