Side effects after breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of plastic surgery to enlarge the breast by implanting a prosthesis. In recent years, more and more women pay attention and pursue it. However, after breast augmentation surgery, patients may face some side effects and risks. The following will elaborate on the possible side effects after breast augmentation surgery in different aspects.
1. Postoperative infection and scar
Postoperative infection is one of the most common complications of breast augmentation surgery. Postoperative incisions are susceptible to bacterial infection, leading to local redness, swelling, pain, fever and other symptoms. Severe infection may require removal of the implant and reoperation. In addition, breast augmentation surgery may also produce scars, especially the incision under the breast is easy to form prominent scars. During postoperative recovery, patients need to strictly follow the doctor's recommendations for wound care to reduce the risk of infection and scar.
In addition, hematoma and other complications may occur after surgery, which need to be treated in time. Therefore, when choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients need to choose a regular and experienced hospital, and professional doctors should perform the surgery.
2. Breast function may be affected
After breast augmentation surgery, patients may have problems such as decreased breast sensitivity and difficulty in breastfeeding. This is because of the relationship between the position of the implant and the breast tissue during surgery, which may lead to some breast tissue being squeezed or displaced. Although breast augmentation surgery will not directly affect the function of the breast itself, the location and size of implants may have a certain impact on the stimulation of the breast. Therefore, if the patient plans to breast feed in the future, it is necessary to fully communicate with the doctor before the operation to understand the possible impact of breast augmentation surgery on breast function.
3. Implants may have problems
There are many types of implants used in breast augmentation surgery, such as saline implants and silicone implants. Although these implants have been strictly tested and certified before surgery, there may still be problems such as implant rupture and capsule shrinkage. Rupture of the implant may cause breast deformation, pain and other symptoms, which require re operation to replace the implant. In addition, capsule contraction may lead to breast stiffening, or even obvious appearance abnormalities. Therefore, it is very important to carry out regular breast examination after surgery to find the changes of implants. At the same time, it is also necessary to select implants with reliable quality produced by regular manufacturers.
4. Psychological and emotional changes
Breast augmentation surgery has an important impact on the appearance and self-confidence of patients. After surgery, patients often feel that their appearance has improved, their image has become more perfect, and their self-confidence has also been improved. However, if the expectations are too high or the surgical results do not meet expectations, patients may feel disappointed and depressed. Therefore, before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to fully understand the surgical risks and possible results, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors to avoid psychological and emotional problems.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, but it also has some side effects and risks. Postoperative infection and scar, influence of breast function, implant problems, psychological and emotional changes are possible side effects after breast augmentation surgery. Therefore, before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to fully understand the risks and possible side effects of the surgery, select a regular hospital and professional doctors for surgery, and do a good job in wound recovery care and regular inspection after surgery to reduce the occurrence of side effects.
