Tthey are mainly performed under general anesthesia, or, in rare cases, local anesthesia with a heavy sedative, and can be performed as an outpatient procedure or in a hospital as an inpatient procedure. Surgery can last between 1 and 2 hours.

There are three variables that can determine the results and success of surgery: type of implant, site of incision and placement of implant.

• Infection or even rejection from non-sterile techniques.
• Moving of the implant. The pocket for the implant should be adjusted for the patient.
• Scars: Less obvious in the periareola in comparison with sub-mammary incision.
• Sensation: Can be initially decreased. Usually ninety percent of sensation will return in 1-2 years of surgery.
• Violation of breast tissue.
• Breast Feeding: About fifty percent of women won't be able to successfully breast feed, particularly those with periareola incision.
