Contraindications for breast enlargement

Absolute contraindications for breast augmentation are few:

• An active infection in the breast
• Oncologic process unresolved in the breast.
• Patients with psychological disorders in relation to their body image
• Patients with unrealistic expectations about breast augmentation
• A patient who has received radiation therapy to the breast, because the aesthetic results are often worse, the most frequent surgical complications and higher risk of capsular contracture.

After many years of ban on use of silicone implants in the US for an alleged risk of increased incidence of autoimmune and connective tissue diseases, some years have become used. There is sufficient evidence in the literature to conclude that silicone implants do not cause any of these diseases, so breast augmentation is not contraindicated for this reason.

• Filled with the patient 's own fat. The use of other products to fill the breast is prohibited.

Furthermore, anaplastic large cell breast is an entity that has been associated with implants but has not been found or not as statistically causal relationship.
