Breast augmentation
What are the risks and complications associated with breast augmentation?
This response begins with an explanation of what breast augmentation is and a few statements about the
importance of considering risk factors before undergoing this procedure. It then lists the following potential
risks and complications: infection, bleeding, anesthesia risks, scarring, capsular contracture, implant rupture
or leakage, changes in sensation, changes in breast and nipple position, seroma and hematoma, visible
rippling or wrinkling, unsatisfactory results, and breastfeeding challenges. Each of these potential risks is
accompanied by a sentence or two of explanation. The response ends with a statement about the
importance of choosing an experienced surgeon, having a discussion with this surgeon about your medical
history, following pre- and postoperative care instructions, and attending follow-up appointments.

ChatGPT provides a suitable explanation of breast augmentation. The ASPS lists the complications
associated with breast augmentation:
• Anesthesia risks
• Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) or other very rare cancers in the
capsule around the breast, such as breast implant-associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC)
