What side effects will breast augmentation surgery have?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery. It can increase the fullness and shape of the chest by implanting prosthesis or fat transplantation. However, breast augmentation surgery is not without side effects. Next, we will elaborate on the side effects of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.
1. Surgical complications
In any kind of operation, there are certain risks and possible complications. Breast augmentation surgery is no exception. Problems such as bleeding, infection and poor anesthesia may occur during the operation. Although these complications are common, with reasonable preoperative evaluation and intraoperative operation, the risk is low.
In addition, for breast augmentation surgery with implanted prosthesis, the prosthesis may break, shift or generate capsule. If the patient has breast lumps, deformation or pain, surgery may be required to repair or remove the prosthesis.
In order to reduce the risk of surgical complications, patients should choose a formal plastic surgery hospital and follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance when selecting hospitals and doctors.
2. Abnormal feeling
After breast augmentation surgery, patients may have abnormal sensation in the nipple or breast area. This may be manifested as hypoesthesia, numbness or allergic reaction. This abnormal feeling is usually temporary. With the recovery of the late stage of surgery, most patients will gradually return to normal feeling.
However, in rare cases, patients may experience permanent sensory abnormalities. This may be caused by the damage to the breast nerve during the operation. Therefore, doctors need to conduct a detailed preoperative assessment of patients before surgery to understand their neuroanatomy and avoid potential risks.
3. Scar formation
Breast augmentation surgery usually requires an incision at the lower edge of the breast or armpit to insert the prosthesis. These incisions will form scars after the operation. The severity and formation of scars vary from person to person, and some patients may have obvious scars.
Patients can improve the quality and color of scars by using scar treatment products, massage and physical therapy. Before surgery, doctors need to evaluate the scar healing of patients and consult professional doctors.
4. Physiological and psychological changes
Breast augmentation surgery may have a certain impact on the physiological and psychological status of patients. After surgery, the patient may have breast pain, swelling and congestion. These feelings of discomfort generally diminish over time.
In addition, breast augmentation surgery may have an impact on the psychological status of patients. Patients may be dissatisfied with the surgical effect, uncertain self-image and anxiety. Therefore, before deciding to accept breast augmentation surgery, patients need to make a reasonable assessment of their expectations and fully communicate with doctors.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery, as a common cosmetic and plastic surgery, although it can improve the shape of women's chest, it is not without side effects. Complications, abnormal sensation, scar formation and physiological and psychological changes are common side effects of breast augmentation surgery. In order to reduce the risk, patients should choose a regular hospital and doctor, and follow the doctor's postoperative guidance. Before surgery, patients need to fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and possible side effects of surgery. Only when these side effects are fully understood and accepted can a wise decision be made.
