Saline Implant Complications

Saline implant complications do exist. Although saline solution is considered relatively safe for use in the body, there are complications that may arise from the surgical procedure and afterward. Specifically, some studies have shown that women who have breast implants have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. In addition, other complications may include saline implants leaking or rupturing. Infections are possible during the surgical procedure and right after. In addition, some women face serious complications including seroma, which is a watery portion of blood that collects around the implant or around the incision location, and hematoma in which blood collections around the implant. Saline implants do not last forever and often secondary surgical procedures are necessary.
