Sequela of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can change the shape and size of the chest by implanting prosthesis. Despite the continuous progress of surgical technology, there are still some sequelae and risks in breast augmentation surgery. In this article, the sequelae of breast augmentation surgery will be described from the aspects of plastic surgery, infection risk, postoperative complications and sclerosis.
Sequela of plastic surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a surgery that requires surgical incision, so there will be some sequelae related to plastic surgery. First, the incision may leave a scar. Although doctors will try their best to reduce incisions and reduce the appearance of scars through reasonable suture techniques, scars still exist and may affect the appearance of patients. In addition, bleeding, hematoma and other complications may occur during the operation, which need to be handled in time.
Secondly, breast augmentation surgery requires the use of a prosthesis implanted into the chest tissue, which will cause a certain amount of external pressure on the patient's body. During postoperative recovery, patients may feel discomfort such as breast pain and tightness. This discomfort may last for a period of time, requiring the patient to have adequate rest and recovery. In addition, the prosthesis of breast augmentation surgery may also be displaced, deformed, etc., which needs to be repaired by a second operation.
In addition, sometimes the effect of breast augmentation surgery may not be as good as expected, which may lead to problems such as unsatisfactory shape or size mismatch. The patient should fully understand and communicate with the doctor before deciding on surgery to reduce this risk.
Risk of infection
Because breast augmentation surgery requires cutting and implant prosthesis, which makes infection a potential risk. Postoperative wounds and incisions are the gateway of pathogen invasion. If these wounds are not properly cleaned and cared for, infection will occur.
The symptoms of postoperative infection may include redness, swelling, pain, pus discharge, fever, etc. If the infection is not effectively treated, it may lead to more serious complications, and even further surgery is needed to deal with the infected focus. Therefore, postoperative care is very important. Patients should follow the doctor's advice, regularly review and use antibiotics and other drugs to prevent infection.
Postoperative complications
Breast augmentation surgery may cause some postoperative complications, such as hematoma, lymphatic effusion, etc. Hematoma refers to the accumulation of blood in the wound after surgery, which may lead to poor wound healing and infection. Lymphatic effusion refers to the accumulation of lymph in the surgical area, which will cause swelling and pain.
In addition, the breast tissue and nerves may be damaged during the operation, resulting in abnormal breast sensation, breast discomfort and other problems. These complications are usually temporary and will be relieved within weeks or months after the operation, but may last for a long time in a few cases.
Due to the different conditions of each patient, the incidence and severity of postoperative complications will also be different. The doctor will evaluate and discuss the patient in detail before the operation to reduce the occurrence of complications.
sclerosis
Sclerosis is one of the common sequelae of breast augmentation surgery. In the months to years after the operation, some patients may have sclerosis, that is, the tissue around the prosthesis has a certain degree of fiber capsule contraction, leading to the hardening of the breast.
The degree and symptoms of sclerosis vary from person to person. Some patients may only have slight discomfort, while others may have obvious pain and deformation. In order to reduce the occurrence of sclerosis, doctors usually advise patients to massage and recheck regularly to help reduce the formation of capsule.
In general, breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that needs careful consideration. Although it can help patients improve their body shape and self-confidence, it also has certain sequelae and risks. Therefore, the patient should have a detailed discussion and evaluation with the doctor before deciding to perform the operation to ensure the safety and effect of the operation.
