Capsular contracture is the side effect that doctors and patients alike fear the most. It's when the breast becomes hard and loses its shape. Smoking, bleeding and infection. These three are behind almost every case. Do you happen to smoke? No.
Then we've already cleared one big hurdle. As for bleeding, like I said earlier, I'll make sure all the bleeding is completely stopped before I finish surgery, so you just need to be careful. Infection, too, I'll keep everything really clean during surgery, so you don't need to worry about it.
Other than smoking, there's honestly nothing much to worry about, and smoking is up to you, but you said you don't smoke, so I really don't think you need to worry.
