Breast augmentation sequelae: the impact of late problems
With the popularization and development of cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation surgery has become a common plastic surgery. However, breast augmentation surgery also has some sequelae, especially in the later stage after surgery. These later problems may have a certain impact on the health and quality of life of patients. This article will elaborate on the problems in the later stage of breast augmentation surgery from the aspects of postoperative pain, infection risk, chest deformation and implant rupture.
Postoperative pain
After breast augmentation surgery, many patients may experience pain and discomfort for some time after the surgery. This is caused by the trauma stimulus generated during the operation and the discomfort in the recovery stage after the operation. Usually, patients may feel severe pain within 2-3 days after surgery, and then gradually reduce it. This is a normal physiological reaction, but if the pain continues and worsens, it may be a manifestation of surgical complications, which requires timely medical attention.
Postoperative pain relief can be controlled by doctors issuing appropriate painkillers. At the same time, patients need to follow the doctor's advice to avoid strenuous activities and overexertion.
Risk of infection
After breast augmentation surgery, patients may be at risk of infection. Postoperative infection may be caused by bacterial infection introduced during the operation, or it may be caused by improper care of the incision after the operation. Symptoms of infection may include redness, swelling, pain, fever, and increased secretion.
In order to reduce the risk of infection, patients need to strictly follow the doctor's nursing guidance after surgery, change dressing and disinfect regularly, and avoid the impact of irritating food and bad living habits. If the patient shows signs of infection, seek medical advice as soon as possible and receive appropriate treatment.
Chest deformation
Sometimes, patients may experience chest deformation after breast augmentation surgery. Chest deformation may include problems such as asymmetry, sagging or protruding of the chest. These problems may be caused by improper surgical techniques, improper postoperative recovery or implant displacement.
For chest deformation, patients should communicate with doctors in time to seek professional solutions. According to different deformation conditions, doctors may recommend repair surgery or other plastic treatment to restore the natural beauty of the chest.
Implant rupture
Implant rupture is a serious sequela of breast augmentation. Implants may break due to improper operation, external force impact or implant aging. Ruptured implants may cause chest swelling, pain, stiffness, or foreign body sensation.
Once the patient suspects that the implant is broken, he/she should immediately seek medical advice and carry out relevant examinations to determine the condition of the implant. If implant rupture is confirmed, implant repair or replacement surgery is usually required. Therefore, after breast augmentation surgery, patients should be followed up regularly to ensure the safety and stability of implants.
Summary
As a kind of cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation surgery has brought confidence and beauty to many patients. However, the existence of the sequelae of breast augmentation surgery also needs to attract the attention of patients. Postoperative pain, infection risk, chest deformation, implant rupture and other issues may have a certain impact on the health and life of patients. Therefore, when deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the relevant risks, and choose a formal and professional hospital and doctor for surgery. At the same time, patients should strictly follow the doctor's nursing guidance after surgery, and regularly return to visit and check, so as to minimize the incidence of problems in the later stage.
