Possible complications of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery in which implants are placed into the breast through surgery to achieve the purpose of enlargement and shape improvement. Although breast augmentation surgery is very common in the field of cosmetic and plastic surgery, complications cannot be completely avoided. The following will elaborate on the possible complications of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: preoperative preparation, surgical process, postoperative resuscitation and long-term effect.
Preoperative preparation stage
Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will carefully check and evaluate the patient to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery. However, even after careful screening, there are still some potential complications. The first is anesthesia related complications, such as anesthesia allergy, dyspnea, etc. Secondly, preoperative infection will increase the risk of surgical infection. Finally, due to individual differences and physical conditions and other factors, it may not be possible to fully predict the results of breast augmentation surgery and the risk of postoperative complications.
Complications during operation
The process of breast augmentation surgery is a complex operation, which may have some complications. The first is the risk of bleeding during surgery. Although the improvement of modern surgical techniques and instruments has greatly reduced the risk of bleeding during surgery, it may still occur. The second is the risk of infection during the operation. Although the hospital will strictly follow the aseptic operation, the infection during the operation may still occur. In addition, breast tissue damage may occur during surgery, such as loss of breast sensation, nerve damage, etc. Although the probability of these complications is low, doctors still need to have rich experience and accurate operating skills.
Postoperative resuscitation risks
Postoperative resuscitation is another stage during which complications may occur. The first is the risk of postoperative bleeding and hematoma. If the patient has continuous bleeding or large area of hematoma after surgery, timely treatment is needed to avoid further complications. Secondly, the risk of postoperative infection still exists, especially for patients who fail to recover their own immunity. In addition, problems such as scar hyperplasia and postoperative pain may occur after surgery, which require close observation and timely intervention by doctors and nurses.
Long term effects and risk of complications
In addition to the complications during and after the surgery, the long-term effect and risk of complications of breast augmentation surgery also need to be concerned. The longevity of implants is an important issue because they are not permanent and may need to be replaced regularly. In addition, implant rupture, displacement and capsule formation may also occur. These complications may lead to changes in breast shape and touch, and even require a second operation for repair.
To sum up, although breast augmentation surgery is very common in the field of beauty and plastic surgery, there are still some potential complications. Different complications may occur in the preoperative preparation stage, the operation process, the postoperative resuscitation stage and the long-term effect. However, the incidence of these complications is relatively low, and can almost be completely avoided with the careful care of doctors and nurses. Therefore, when choosing to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and possible complications of the surgery, and select experienced and reputable hospitals and doctors for surgery to reduce the risk of complications.
