Risk and influence of breast augmentation prosthesis removal
Breast augmentation surgery has become a common plastic surgery, but some people may consider removing the prosthesis after breast augmentation surgery. The risk of breast augmentation prosthesis removal is not without risk. This article will elaborate on the risk of breast augmentation prosthesis removal from four aspects: preoperative preparation, surgical process, recovery period and complications.
1. Preoperative preparation
Before the removal of breast augmentation prosthesis, the doctor will conduct detailed preoperative evaluation and auxiliary examination to determine the operation plan and assess the patient's operation risk. Preoperative evaluation includes comprehensive consideration of the patient's physical condition, operation purpose, operation area and operation plan. For some high-risk patients, such as those with heart disease, blood disease, immune system disease, etc., other necessary examinations and preparations may be required.
In addition, preoperative psychological preparation is also very important. Some patients may face problems such as changes in breast shape and appearance after surgery, and need to have sufficient psychological preparation to deal with them. Before making a decision, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and impacts of surgery.
2. Operation process
The removal of breast augmentation prosthesis usually requires local or general anesthesia. During the operation, an incision will be made at the lower edge of the breast or the armpit, and then the prosthesis will be taken out and the corresponding plastic repair will be carried out. The operation process requires doctors to have rich experience and technology to avoid complications such as incision infection, nerve injury and bleeding.
After surgery, the doctor will use suture or adhesive tape to seal the wound, and carry out appropriate dressing and hemostasis treatment. The removal of breast augmentation prosthesis is usually performed through a small incision, but there is still a risk of poor wound healing, and some patients may need a second correction operation.
3. Recovery period
The recovery period after surgery depends on individual differences and surgical conditions. Patients need to follow the doctor's instructions and make appropriate rest and lifestyle adjustments. The breast after surgery may have swelling, congestion, pain and other discomfort, which are normal recovery reactions and generally will gradually reduce. However, some patients may suffer from infection, wound dehiscence, breast deformation and other complications, which need to be treated in time.
In addition, regular rehabilitation training and massage are also needed after the operation to help the breast recover its normal shape and function. For some special cases, such as prosthesis removal after tumor resection and breast sclerosis, adjuvant treatment may also be required.
4. Complications
Some complications may occur after breast augmentation prosthesis removal, including but not limited to the following:
1. Bleeding and haematoma: Wound bleeding and local haematoma may occur after surgery, which should be treated in time.
2. Incision infection: Postoperative incision infection may cause fever, redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms, which need to be treated in time.
3. Breast deformation: After the removal of the prosthesis, the breast may appear concave, sagging or asymmetric and other deformation, which requires secondary correction surgery.
4. Loss of sensation or allergy of the nipple: some patients may experience loss of sensation or allergy of the nipple, and need to communicate with the doctor in time for treatment.
summary
The removal of breast augmentation prosthesis has certain surgical risks. Preoperative preparation and psychological preparation are very important. The experience and skills of doctors determine the safety of the operation process. During the recovery period, close attention should be paid and complications should be treated in time. Before the removal of breast augmentation prosthesis, patients should fully understand the risks and impacts of the operation, fully communicate with doctors, and make wise decisions.
