What are the effects of breast augmentation surgery on the body?
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery to enlarge the breast by surgically implanting a prosthesis. Although this operation can help women realize their desire to plump breasts, it also has a certain impact on the body. The following will elaborate on the influence of breast augmentation surgery on the body from four aspects.
1. Postoperative recovery period
A certain recovery period is required after breast augmentation surgery. In the days or weeks after surgery, postoperative reactions such as pain, swelling and congestion are common. The patient may need to rest within a few days after the operation, limit physical activity, and follow the doctor's recommendations for cold compress and painkillers. The recovery period after breast augmentation surgery requires patients to face patiently and arrange time reasonably in order to recover in time.
After surgery, the chest should be massaged regularly to maintain the position of the prosthesis, and regular reexamination should be carried out to ensure the surgical effect and physical health. The patient needs to follow the doctor's advice and recheck on time to ensure the smooth progress of postoperative recovery.
2. Postoperative complications
Breast augmentation surgery may have the risk of postoperative complications. These include infection, hematoma, prosthesis displacement, etc. Although these complications are uncommon, it is still necessary for patients to be aware of these risks when making surgical choices. Choose a formal and reliable plastic surgery hospital and accept experienced doctors for surgery to reduce the risk of complications.
In case of any abnormal reaction, such as continuous severe pain, redness, swelling, pus discharge, and abnormal movement of the prosthesis, the patient should contact the doctor in time for timely treatment to avoid serious consequences caused by potential complications.
3. Long term effect
Breast augmentation surgery can enable women to obtain plump and beautiful breasts, increasing self-confidence and satisfaction. However, the prosthesis has a limited service life and may need to be repaired or replaced in the future. Depending on the type of prosthesis and individual differences, the repair or replacement time may be between 10 and 20 years. Patients must understand that the results of surgery are not permanent, and correctly understand and manage their breast health in the years after surgery.
In addition, breast augmentation surgery may have a certain impact on daily life. For example, some women may feel chest discomfort or fatigue and need to adapt to the increase in chest weight. The choice of clothing may also be limited, especially the need to consider the support and shielding of prostheses. Patients must fully consider and prepare for these long-term effects before surgery.
4. Psychological influence
The psychological impact of breast augmentation surgery can not be ignored. Before the operation, women may not be satisfied with their bodies, and they hope to change this dissatisfaction through breast augmentation surgery. After the operation, they may feel more confident and improve their image, so as to gain more opportunities and satisfaction in social and professional aspects.
However, some women may be disappointed that the surgical results do not meet expectations. The post-operative anxiety, tension and inferiority complex may affect their mental health. Therefore, when considering breast augmentation surgery, women need to fully understand their own expectations and risks, and fully communicate with doctors in order to make decisions before surgery.
Summary
To sum up, breast augmentation surgery has a series of effects on the body, including postoperative recovery period, postoperative complications, long-term effects and psychological effects. When considering breast augmentation surgery, women must fully understand the impact of these aspects, carefully make decisions, and choose a formal plastic surgery hospital to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
