introduction
Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic surgery, which changes the shape of the chest by implanting a prosthesis or transplanting autologous fat. However, like any other surgery, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks. It is important to understand these risks before choosing to undergo such surgery.
Surgical risk
One of the main risks of breast augmentation surgery is postoperative infection. Although modern medical technology can minimize the probability of infection, it is still possible. During the recovery period after surgery, patients should follow the doctor's advice, clean the wound regularly, and avoid the risk of infection.
Other surgical risks include bleeding and congestion. There will be a certain degree of congestion after the operation, but if there is abnormal serious swelling or bruise, you need to seek the help of a doctor immediately. Bleeding during surgery may also occur, although this is rare, if excessive bleeding occurs, further treatment will be required.
In addition, nerve injury during the operation is also one of the potential risks of breast augmentation surgery. Implantation of the prosthesis may cause pressure or damage to the surrounding nerves, resulting in abnormal chest sensation or loss of areola sensation. Although this situation is relatively rare, it is still necessary to consult a doctor before surgery and understand these potential risks.
Risk of implant
One of the most common methods in breast augmentation surgery is implant prosthesis. However, there are some risks. First, the prosthesis may break or leak, especially the silicone prosthesis. This can lead to asymmetric or deformed prosthesis shape, which requires further repair surgery.
Secondly, implant prosthesis may also cause skin tissue reaction. A small number of patients may have chest sclerosis, that is, the tissue around the prosthesis becomes hard. This may cause discomfort or pain and further treatment is required.
Finally, the prosthesis may shift or droop. This may be caused by improper selection of prosthesis size or improper operation. If this happens, reoperation may be required to repair the displaced or sagging prosthesis.
Postoperative precautions
During the rehabilitation period after breast augmentation surgery, special attention should be paid to some matters. First, it is very important to keep the wound clean. Patients need to wash and change dressings according to the doctor's recommendations to prevent infection. Secondly, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy object extraction to avoid unnecessary pressure on the surgical area. Third, regular follow-up inspection should be carried out to ensure that the recovery of the surgical area is good.
In addition to these general considerations, special attention needs to be paid to the changes of implanted prosthesis. In case of asymmetric prosthesis shape, pain or abnormal sensation, timely medical treatment is required to identify and deal with potential problems as soon as possible.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery can change the shape of the chest, but like any surgery, it also has certain risks. Surgical risks include infection, bleeding and congestion, as well as potential nerve damage. The risks of implant prosthesis include prosthesis rupture, skin tissue sclerosis, and prosthesis displacement or droop. During postoperative rehabilitation, special attention should be paid to wound cleaning, avoiding strenuous exercise and regular follow-up inspection. Before deciding to accept breast augmentation surgery, these risks should be carefully assessed and detailed consultation with a professional doctor should be conducted.
