	Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammoplasty) Information
		Risks of breast augmentation include: Lack of implant permanence -- surgical removal or replacement of the implants may be required to treat problems, including: deflation; the formation of scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture), which may cause the breast to feel tight or hard; bleeding or infection.
		Occasionally, the breast augmentation may be done as an inpatient in a hospital, in which case you can plan on staying for a day or two.
		The incision for breast augmentation can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the armpit.

		For each augmentation mammoplasty-positive case, validation of both the date and nature of the scleroderma onset was from the patient's medical records.
