    Augmentation mammoplasty, a common breast surgery, can lead to early and late complications. Patients should be aware of potential long-term risks before undergoing this procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Augmentation mammoplasty is a widely performed cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedure.
    • While often considered straightforward, potential complications require careful consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the spectrum of early and late complications associated with augmentation mammoplasty.
    • To emphasize the importance of understanding long-term risks.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of early and late complications.
    • Analysis of potential hazards following augmentation mammoplasty.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of various early and late complications.
    • Highlighting the necessity of considering long-term sequelae.
