Disease description:

My chest is particularly small, and I've always felt self-conscious about it, to the point that I'm hesitant to hang out with classmates. A doctor mentioned breast augmentation with implants as an option, but I'd like to know what potential risks or complications are associated with this procedure.

Breast augmentation with implants may cause loss of sensation in the nipple or areola area, and in severe cases, it may lead to the inability of the nipple to erect normally. If nerves are compressed after surgery, chronic pain in the chest area may occur. Additionally, if the surgeon lacks sufficient experience or performs improper techniques during the procedure, implant displacement may result, affecting the appearance of the breasts.
