Risk and side effects of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a method to change the size, shape and contour of the breast through surgery. With the increasing pursuit of beauty in society, more and more women choose breast augmentation surgery to enhance their self-confidence and beauty. However, breast augmentation surgery is not without risks. The risks and side effects of breast augmentation surgery will be elaborated from four aspects.
Risk of preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery. However, even if detailed preparations are made before surgery, there are still some risks. First, there is the possibility that the patient is allergic to narcotic drugs, which may lead to severe allergic reactions and breathing difficulties. Secondly, during the preoperative evaluation, doctors may find some potential health problems, such as breast hyperplasia, breast cancer, etc. These problems may affect the operation, or even need to cancel the operation.
In addition, the patient's own psychological preparation is also very important. The failure of breast augmentation surgery or the results that do not meet the expectations may have a negative impact on patients' psychology, such as depression, anxiety, etc. Therefore, before surgery, patients need to fully understand the risks and side effects of surgery, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.
Risk during operation
Breast augmentation surgery is a complex surgical process, there are certain risks and complications. First, there may be a risk of infection during the operation. Even if strict disinfection measures were taken during the operation, the possibility of infection could not be completely ruled out. Secondly, bleeding, hematoma and blood stasis may also occur during the operation, which may lead to breast tissue damage, pain and discomfort.
In addition, some technical problems during the operation may also lead to unsatisfactory results. For example, there may be errors in judging the shape and size of the breast during surgery, leading to the need for subsequent secondary surgery to repair. In addition, errors or accidents during the operation may cause damage to the breast nerves and blood supply, leading to loss of breast sensation or gangrene.
Postoperative complications
The recovery period after surgery is very important for the success of surgery. However, some complications may occur after breast augmentation surgery, which may affect the recovery speed and effect of patients. First of all, postoperative infection may occur after surgery, which may lead to fever, redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms. In serious cases, antibiotic treatment may be required. Secondly, there may be too many scars or hypertrophic scars after surgery, which will affect the appearance and aesthetic feeling of patients.
In addition, breast deformity, asymmetry and prolapse may also occur after surgery. These problems may need to be corrected by a second operation, which increases the economic burden and surgical risk of patients. At the same time, side effects such as loss of breast sensation and decreased nipple sensitivity may occur after surgery, which may affect women's sexual life and breast function.
Psychological risk and social risk
In addition to physical risks and side effects, breast augmentation surgery may also bring some psychological and social problems. First of all, the surgical results may be different from the patient's expectations, leading to a decline in the patient's sense of self-worth, psychological stress and depression. Secondly, due to the swelling of the operation and the need of the recovery period, the patient may need a longer rest and rehabilitation, which may have a certain impact on work and social life.
In addition, breast augmentation surgery is widely concerned and evaluated by the society, which may be negatively affected and commented by some public opinions. This may cause social pressure and psychological distress for some women with strong privacy protection.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery, as a cosmetic surgery, has certain risks and side effects. From the perspective of preoperative preparation, surgical process, postoperative complications and psychological and social aspects, breast augmentation surgery may bring risks of infection, bleeding, scar hyperplasia, pain and discomfort. Before surgery, patients should fully understand and consider these risks, fully communicate with doctors, and make wise decisions.
