果凍矽膠隆乳後遺症：​​Information from FDA

This booklet highlights the most common problems associated with silicone gel-filled and saline-filled breast implants: those that occur in the breast or chest area, known as “local complications.” The most common local complications and adverse outcomes are capsular contracture (hardening of breast area around the implant), reoperation (additional surgeries), implant removal and rupture or deflation of the implant. Other local complications include implant wrinkling, asymmetry, scarring, pain, and infection at the incision site. These local complications often result in reoperation or implant removal.
Local Complications and Adverse OutcomesThe following is a list of local complications and adverse outcomes that occur in one percent or more of patients at any time after breast implant surgery. They are listed in alphabetical order—not in order of prevalence.

• Asymmetry—when breasts are uneven in appearance in terms of size, shape, or breast level
• Breast feeding difficulties
• Breast pain
• Breast sagging, also called “ptosis”
• Calcium build-up in breast tissue, also called “calcification”
• Capsular contracture—hardening of the breast area around the implant
• Chest wall deformity—when the chest wall or underlying rib cage appears deformed
• Deflation of the breast implant—when filler material leaks from the breast implant often due to a valve leak or a tear or cut in the implant shell
• Delayed wound healing
• Extrusion—when the skin breaks down and the implant appears through the skin
• Hematoma—collection of blood near the surgical site
• Iatrogenic injury or damage—when new injury or damage occurs to the tissue or implant as a result of implant surgery
• Implant displacement or malposition—when the implant is not in the correct position in the breast
• Implant palpability or visibility—when the implant can be felt through the skin
• Implant removal—with or without implant replacement
• Implant visibility—when the implant can be seen through the skin
• Implant wrinkling or rippling
• Infection, including Toxic Shock Syndrome—when during breast implant surgery, wounds are contaminated with micro-organisms, such as bacteria or fungi
• Inflammation or irritation
• Necrosis—when there is dead skin or tissue around the breast
• Nipple or breast changes, including change in or loss of nipple sensation
• Redness or bruising
• Reoperation—additional surgeries
• Rupture of the breast implant— when there is a tear or hole in the implant’s outer shell
• Scarring
• Seroma—the collection of fluid around the breast implant
• Skin rash
• Swollen or enlarged lymph nodes, also called “lymphedema or lymphadenopathy”
• Thinning and shrinking of the skin, also called “breast tissue atrophy”
• Unsatisfactory appearance due to implant style or size

If you experience any of the local complications listed above after breast implant surgery, you may need specific treatments, including additional surgery. Maintain an active role in your health care and inform your doctor immediately if you experience any new health issues.
