Can breast augmentation surgery produce side effects?

Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery. It enlarges and shapes the breast by implanting a prosthesis in the breast tissue. Although this kind of surgery can help women to get a better figure, breast augmentation surgery also has some potential risks and side effects. This article will elaborate the possible side effects of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.

Postoperative infection risk

Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of traumatic surgery, so postoperative infection is one of the common complications. During surgery, doctors need to make a small incision in breast tissue to implant the prosthesis, which increases the chance of bacterial invasion. If the operation is improper or the postoperative nursing is improper, it may cause infection. Postoperative infection is often manifested as redness, pain, fever and other symptoms of the breast, which may even lead to serious consequences such as the expulsion of the prosthesis, incision dehiscence and so on.

The methods to prevent infection include adequate preoperative preparation, strict aseptic operation during the operation, and correct nursing according to the doctor's requirements after the operation. At the same time, selecting regular hospitals and experienced doctors for surgery is also an important measure to reduce the risk of infection.

Prosthesis rupture and displacement

The prosthesis used in breast augmentation surgery may be broken or displaced. Prosthesis rupture usually occurs within a few years after surgery, while displacement may be due to muscle activity or external impact. Prosthesis rupture and displacement will lead to uneven breast shape, or even serious consequences that cannot be repaired.

In order to reduce the risk of fracture and displacement of prosthesis, doctors will select suitable prosthesis according to the specific situation of patients and ensure the accuracy of prosthesis position during surgery. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice and avoid strenuous exercise or strong impact to protect the integrity of the prosthesis.

Changes in breast sensation and milk secretion

Some patients may have abnormal breast sensation or changes in breast secretion after breast augmentation surgery. Abnormal breast sensation may be manifested as breast hypersensitivity or loss of sensation, and the change of milk secretion may lead to abnormal secretion of the breast.

These side effects are usually caused by the impact of surgery on breast tissue and breast. Although these changes are usually temporary, they still have an impact on the quality of life of patients. Before breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand these side effects and have detailed communication and discussion with doctors.

Summary

Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, but it also has some side effects. Postoperative infection risk, prosthesis rupture and displacement, changes in breast sensation and milk secretion are common side effects of breast augmentation surgery. In order to reduce the risk of these side effects, patients should choose a regular hospital and an experienced doctor for surgery, and follow the doctor's recommendations for postoperative care. In addition, patients should understand these side effects in detail before surgery and have a full understanding of the possible consequences of surgery.
