SUMMARY: Augmentation mammaplasty with implants is a form of plastic surgery that can ameliorate breast volume deficiencies and achieve beautiful breast shape using implants. Complications after augmentation mammoplasty are the main reasons that may hinder its use or result in procedural failure. Here, we review the mechanism, clinical manifestations, and treatment of the main complications, such as capsular contracture, implant malposition, and rippling, of augmentation mammaplasty. We aimed to achieve a more stable, reliable, and long-lasting effect on implant mammoplasty to eventually benefit our patients.
