Many flat-chested women are eager to get breast enhancement to improve their visual appearance. There are different reasons why women choose to get breast enhancements. They will have more flexibility in choosing better fitting clothes and improved self esteem. These obsessions may push many women to subject themselves to a surgery procedure to enhance the size of their breasts. Although having larger breasts can make women happy and satisfied, they need to have careful thinking, because breast enhancement surgery is a drastic measure to change their physical appearance. Procedure is still an invasive process and when things are not performed properly, it may turn into a disaster. It is quite often that we hear problems associated with breast enhancement surgery. The implant is essentially a foreign object and various problems may occur when it’s inserted into our body. Complications and anomalies may start to appear with hours after the implant is inserted. It is important for women to know the potential risks of having implants in their body.

It is important to know that there are different types of breast implants, the silicone and saline versions. Although they have different composition, they are still foreign objects to our body and may endanger our life. When an implant rest inside our body, something can get really wrong. Implants are not designed to stay inside our body for a lifetime. Due to wear and tear issues, implants may leak slightly and in more serious cases, they may rupture. If not detected at once, this can be a potentially dangerous situation. It is quite scary to know that there’s no way to accurately know when the implant will rupture, because leakage may not be easily detected. However, saline implants can be monitored more easily, because when it leaks; the sterile saltwater will be absorbed relatively safely by our body. The change in size will be visible. Although the saltwater may not cause direct health issues, the shell can still cause various health issues, because it’s made from silicone. Things can get worse if we have silicone implants. Leakage won’t be easy to detect, because the leaked silicone filing will stay around the leakage area. Only MRI can detect any kind of leakage and problem may be detectable only when we already have health issues and various serious complications. In a more serious case, the silicone implant may spread to lymph nodes and various internal organs. If things have gone badly enough, the consequence can be quite fatal. If you have a silicone implant, regular examination should be on the top of your list.

If we have breast implant, we should be ready to prepare enough money for expensive maintenance and monitoring. It means that our financial health can be affected as well, if we are not aware about the long term expenses of having implants. In the long run, our financial capability can be burdened by our two implants. Regular mammogram and breast MRI would be needed to make sure that our breast are in good conditions.
