Numbness is a common side effect after surgery due to nerve trauma or swelling. Following breast augmentation, sensory changes may occur, with most patients regaining sensation within three to six months. It’s common to experience some nipple sensation loss and reduced feeling around the scar, which can take up to two years to resolve and may not fully return to pre-surgery levels.

When considering breast augmentation in Los Angeles, your overall health matters more than your age. Everyone is different, so we'll review your medical history and address any concerns. You're likely not too old if you're healthy enough for surgery!

Most women with breast implants can breastfeed. Modern silicone implants are safe and do not risk silicone contaminating breast milk. The incision location during breast augmentation may affect breastfeeding, so it’s important to discuss your plans with Dr. Casper to ensure the procedure is done correctly.

The longevity of breast implants can vary, but they often last many years without a set "shelf life." Most come with a ten-year warranty. If they're in good condition, there's no need for replacement, as modern implants are generally higher quality and last longer than older ones.

Most breast augmentations are successful, but rare complications can occur, including infection, anesthesia issues, implant rippling, abnormal scarring, or capsular contracture. To minimize risks, we will monitor your recovery closely. Following aftercare instructions will further reduce the likelihood of problems.
