Breast Lift Complications
Breast Lift Risks and Complications
Some patients want scar revision surgery to correct a poor scar. Undesired Nipple Position and Breast Shape Everyone has uneven breasts to varying degrees. They may also have unequally positioned nipples after the procedure.
Some patients may have the breasts that will look slightly different from one another. Nipple Sensitivity The nerve supplies from the spinal cord travel around the back of the body and to the nipple and areola complex. The doctor may injure the nerve supply to the breast or nipple areola complex.
Most damage is typically temporary, but permanent or partial loss of nipple and skin sensation may occur. Patients may experience diminished sensitivity of the nipples and the skin of the breast.
Breast Augmentation Cost
Breast augmentation cost includes the surgeon’s fee, operating room cost, anesthesia, and the implant costs. The cost of breast augmentation varies widely, depending on factors such as the surgeon’s skill, the region where the surgery is performed, whether the surgery takes place in the office or in a hospital, what type of surgery is chosen, and what type of anesthesia is used. The four costs are the surgeon’s fee, operating room cost, anesthesia, and the implant costs.

Extent of Procedure The type of surgery also influences breast augmentation cost. There are a number of different methods for the breast implant procedure. Some implant techniques are easier and less time consuming. The type of anesthesia used will affect the cost as well. General anesthesia is more costly than a local anesthetic. Every breast enhancement procedure is unique and there are factors that will influence the breast augmentation surgery cost.
The level of complexity presented by the particular case can be a significant cost factor. Skill and Training The plastic surgeon’s training and skill are important factors in the cost. The most qualified surgeons who have performed extensive surgeries typically command higher fees.
It is best to find a board-certified surgeon who has years of surgical training and a background in breast surgery. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is the most prestigious organization of plastic surgeons. Its mission is to promote safe, ethical, efficacious plastic surgery to the public by maintaining high standards for the education and certification of plastic surgeons.
