Can breast augmentation surgery have sequelae?
Breast augmentation surgery is currently a widely accepted plastic surgery. Many women use breast augmentation surgery to improve the shape and size of the chest and enhance self-confidence. However, many people will worry about whether there will be sequelae when considering whether to carry out breast augmentation surgery. This article will elaborate on the sequelae of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: postoperative sensory changes, postoperative bleeding, infection and implant rupture.
1、 Postoperative sensory changes
After breast augmentation surgery, some patients may have sequelae of chest sensation changes. According to the actual hospital data, about 10% to 20% of patients will experience hypoesthesia or complete loss of sensation of the nipple and areola after surgery, which is due to the compression of the implants on the peripheral nerves during surgery. However, this feeling change is usually temporary and will gradually recover within a few months or a year after the operation, but some patients may have a feeling change that lasts for a long time.
In addition, some patients may have increased breast sensitivity after surgery. This is due to the change of breast pressure caused by surgical implants, which usually returns to normal gradually over time.
In a word, postoperative sensory change is a common sequela of breast augmentation surgery, but in most cases it is temporary and will not have a long-term impact on the patient's life.
2、 Postoperative bleeding
Postoperative bleeding is a potential sequela of breast augmentation surgery. During the operation, the doctor will place a drainage tube in the incision to help eliminate postoperative blood accumulation, so as to reduce the risk of bleeding. However, a few patients may still have bleeding of varying degrees after surgery.
Minor symptoms of postoperative bleeding include bleeding from the incision roughly within 24 hours after surgery, which is usually normal. However, if there is continuous bleeding, obvious bleeding or massive bleeding from the incision, the patient should seek medical advice immediately. In the real hospital, doctors will provide corresponding treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients.
Although postoperative bleeding is a possible sequela, most patients can avoid or reduce the occurrence of this complication through strict surgical procedures and postoperative care.
3、 Infection
Infection after breast augmentation surgery is a rare sequela, but it still has a certain probability. During surgery, doctors will take a series of anti infection measures, such as cleaning the surgical area before surgery, using sterile instruments, etc., to reduce the risk of infection.
However, infection may still occur, especially if the patient does not follow the doctor's recommendations for proper wound care after surgery. Symptoms of infection include redness, swelling, pain, and increased secretion. If these symptoms occur, the patient should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. The doctor will give appropriate antibiotic treatment according to the infection.
In conclusion, although infection may occur, the risk of infection can be effectively reduced through correct surgical operation and postoperative care.
4、 Implant rupture
Implant rupture is a serious sequela of breast augmentation surgery. Although the current implant technology is more and more advanced, there is still a very low probability of implant rupture.
Implant rupture may be caused by external impact, improper operation, implant aging and other reasons. Once the implant ruptures, it may cause breast deformity, pain, swelling and other symptoms. The patient should seek medical advice in time, and the doctor will recommend the appropriate treatment plan according to the specific situation.
Although implant rupture is a serious sequela, most patients can reduce the occurrence of this complication by selecting appropriate implants, strict surgical procedures and regular follow-up examinations.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can effectively improve the shape and size of the chest and enhance women's self-confidence. Although breast augmentation surgery may have some sequelae, such as postoperative sensory changes, postoperative bleeding, infection and implant rupture, the risk of complications can be effectively reduced through correct surgical procedures and postoperative care. When considering breast augmentation surgery, patients should carefully select regular hospitals and senior doctors, consult doctors before surgery, and fully understand the surgical risks and postoperative care to reduce the probability of sequelae.
