Risk of breast augmentation surgery in the United States
With the increasing pursuit of beauty, breast augmentation surgery has become more and more common in the United States. However, like all operations, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks. This article will elaborate on the risks of breast augmentation surgery in the United States from four aspects.
1. Potential surgical risks
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery, involving the implantation of silicone or saline prosthesis in the breast to increase the size and shape of the breast. This operation itself has some potential risks.
First, the operation itself may cause infection. Although infection prevention measures will be taken during the operation, infection may still occur after the operation. Infection may cause discomfort such as breast congestion, pain and high fever.
Secondly, the operation may also lead to bleeding or hematoma. During the operation, breast tissue may be damaged, and blood can not effectively stop bleeding, resulting in blood accumulation inside the breast to form hematoma.
In addition, anesthesia during operation also has certain risks. General anesthesia or local anesthesia may cause respiratory and circulatory problems, and for some patients, these risks may be higher.
2. Postoperative complications
In addition to the risks of the operation itself, there are still some potential complications after breast augmentation surgery.
First, the breast prosthesis may be displaced or ruptured. The displacement may lead to asymmetry or deformation of the breast, while the fracture of the prosthesis may lead to the leakage of silicone or saline inside the prosthesis into the surrounding tissues, which may cause pain, hard lumps, infection and other problems.
Secondly, some patients may have breast sclerosis, that is, the fiber capsule shrinks, causing the breast to become hard, unnatural, and may cause pain.
In addition, postoperative swelling, pain and congestion are also common complications. Although these problems usually relieve themselves within a few weeks after surgery, they may still affect the daily life of patients.
3. Psychological and emotional influences
In addition to physiological risks, breast augmentation surgery may also have an impact on individual mental and emotional health.
First, the postoperative results may not meet expectations, leading to disappointment and dissatisfaction. Patients may not be satisfied with the results of the operation or feel depressed after complications occur.
Secondly, body image identification may occur after surgery. Breast changes may have an impact on the individual's self-image and body identity, especially when the surgical results are inconsistent with expectations.
Finally, patients may face social pressure and evaluation. Breast augmentation surgery is still a controversial topic, and different people hold different views on it. Patients may suffer from criticism, contempt or discrimination from society.
4. Select appropriate hospitals and doctors
To avoid or reduce the risk of breast augmentation surgery, it is very important to select the appropriate hospital and doctor.
First, ensure that legal and compliant medical institutions and doctors with relevant qualifications are selected. There are regulatory agencies in the United States responsible for reviewing and certifying hospitals and doctors, and patients can query the license and certification information of relevant agencies.
Secondly, find a doctor with rich experience and good reputation for consultation and surgery. Doctors with years of experience and good reputation may be able to provide safer and more stable surgical results.
Finally, through communication with doctors, we can fully understand the risks and possible complications of the operation. The doctor should be able to provide a detailed explanation and answer the patient's possible questions and concerns.
summary
As a common cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation surgery in the United States also has certain risks. The risks of the operation itself include infection, bleeding and anesthesia, while the possible complications after the operation include displacement, sclerosis and rupture. In addition, surgery may also have an impact on individual psychology and emotions, and face social pressure. In order to avoid or reduce the risk of surgery, it is very important to select the appropriate hospital and doctor. Through careful selection and adequate communication, patients can better understand the risks of surgery and make wise decisions.
