What are the risks of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can help women realize their desire for breast augmentation. However, like any surgery, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks. The risks of breast augmentation surgery are described in detail from different aspects below.
1. Operation risk
Although breast augmentation surgery has a history of many years, there are still some surgical risks. First, infection may occur during the operation. Because the operation needs to implant a prosthesis in the body, if the operation is improper or the postoperative nursing is improper, it is easy to cause infection. Second, the operation may lead to bleeding or hematoma. The cutting and implantation of prosthesis during surgery may damage blood vessels, resulting in the risk of bleeding or hematoma. In addition, surgery may also lead to scar formation, skin tissue necrosis and other complications.
Although the above surgical risks exist, in most cases, these risks can be reduced by selecting regular hospitals, professional doctors and correct postoperative care.
2. Prosthesis related risks
Breast implants are often required for breast augmentation surgery, and these implants also have certain risks. First, the prosthesis may break or leak fluid. The quality and service time of the prosthesis will affect its service life, and the prosthesis may break or leak after its service life is exceeded. Secondly, implants may cause breast hardening. Although the incidence of breast sclerosis is not high, there are still some risks.
In order to minimize the risks associated with prostheses, it is very important to select reliable prostheses and strictly follow the doctor's recommendations for postoperative care.
3. Postoperative discomfort risk
Some postoperative discomfort or complications may occur after breast augmentation surgery. First, pain and swelling may occur after surgery. Within a few days after the operation, the tissue around the breast will have some pain and swelling reaction, but usually it will be relieved quickly. Secondly, some patients may have abnormal sensation or complete loss of nipple or areola. In addition, surgery may result in asymmetric breast shape and size.
These postoperative discomforts usually disappear naturally within a few days to weeks after the operation, but if the symptoms are serious or the duration is too long, you should consult a doctor in a timely manner.
4. Psychological risk
In addition to physical risks, breast augmentation surgery may also have a certain psychological impact on patients. Some patients may feel disappointed or anxious because of the failure of the operation, unsatisfactory results after the operation, or discomfort caused by physical changes. In addition, surgery itself is also a kind of psychological pressure for patients. Preoperative anxiety and postoperative recovery period may cause some psychological burden.
Therefore, before considering breast augmentation surgery, patients need to fully understand the risks of surgery and possible psychological impact, and make wise decisions.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery, as a common plastic surgery, can help women realize their desire for breast augmentation, but there are still some risks. These risks mainly include surgical risk, prosthesis related risk, postoperative discomfort risk and psychological risk. Choosing a regular hospital, professional doctors and correct postoperative care can minimize the risk of surgery. Choosing the prosthesis with reliable quality and carrying out postoperative care according to the doctor's recommendations can reduce the risks associated with the prosthesis. Postoperative discomfort, such as postoperative pain, swelling and asymmetric breast shape, usually disappears within a few days to weeks. Patients need to fully understand the surgical risks and psychological impact, and make wise decisions.
