What is the biggest problem with breast augmentation surgery?

I believe if you really look at breast augmentation, it's a safe, predictable way to change the appearance and shape of the breasts. So, what is the biggest problem with breast augmentation that we see?

It's very simple. It's just simply failure to meet the patient's expectations.

Fortunately, we don't see that very often. But we spend a tremendous amount of time with our patients, one on one, myself and the patient, discussing this - usually, forty-five minutes to an hour in the consultation. And the reason we have patients who are in general very happy with their surgery is because we have sat and visited with them to really understand what they want.

When I see patients who have had surgery elsewhere, even though the surgery may have been done beautifully - the reason they're typically unhappy is that they did not get out of the surgery what they expected. If you expect "X" and the surgeon expects "Y," there's going to be a problem. So you have to make sure that what the patient expects, and what the surgeon can deliver are the same. And that's really where the rubber hits the road when it comes to breast augmentation.
