Hi., I was told that here is a risk of autoimmune disease developing after surgery of implantation of superficial breast. Has this been verified in everyday practice?

Hi, like any surgery, this operation has risk for inducing reaction to strange body present in organism. If autoimmune disease is initiated, immune suppressive drugs can be used to decrease activity of over reactive immune system. It happens in some patient, that implant even has to be taken out. But, other complications may develop as well. After surgery patient is more susceptible to haematoma, infection, liquid accumulation may occur. Necrosis develops if a tissue has no or poor blood supply. Implant rupture is probably the most serious side effect, and needs to be treated surgically.
