Breast Implant Side Effects

Silicone breast implants and saline implants alike can have side effects for a woman's health after surgery for breast augmentation. Natural remedies can be applied at home to reduce post-surgical symptoms of pain, promote healing, and hopefully help prevent other long-term side-effects of an otherwise successful "boob job".

As with all surgeries, post-surgical infections, scarring, bleeding, and poor surgical results are possible. Additionally and over the long-term breast implants can suffer or cause ruptures, misplacement, tissue death, sensory impairments, and perhaps even cancer.

Hello, my sister uses vicks applying it generously on the needed area for overnight. (use old t-shirt and old sheet or towel for under you - because vicks is so greasy) This works quickly and so does a heating pad but I researched this painful issue by typing in the search bar: "I healed my capsular contractures" and found great results from doing that."
