Risks needing attention in breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery, through which silica gel or saline is filled under the breast tissue to change the shape and size of the breast. However, like any surgery, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks. Before performing breast augmentation surgery, it is important to understand these risks in order to make an informed decision.
1. Operation risk
Breast augmentation surgery is a complex surgery, which may lead to some common surgical risks. These include anesthesia related risks such as allergic reactions, dyspnea or nausea. In addition, the surgical incision may be infected, especially within a few days after the operation. Postoperative complications such as bleeding, edema and bruising may also occur.
In addition, some rare but serious surgical complications may also occur, such as surgical failure, long-term asymmetry or deformity of the breast, and even necrosis of the breast skin tissue. Therefore, it is very important to select an experienced and reputable hospital when choosing breast augmentation surgery.
2. Implant related risks
Implants used in breast augmentation surgery also have certain risks. The risk of silicone implant rupture is low, but once it occurs, it may lead to silicone leakage and cause pain or enlarged lymph nodes and other symptoms. In addition, if the silicone implant is displaced or sagging, additional surgical repair may be required.
Another commonly used implant is saline implant, which has a low fracture rate, but if broken, saline will be absorbed, and the implant will lose its size and shape. In addition, it is reported that saline implants may lead to tissue sclerosis and fibrosis, which needs further treatment.
Before breast augmentation surgery, it is very important to communicate with the doctor and understand the different types of implants and the risks associated with them.
3. Anesthesia risk
Breast augmentation surgery requires general anesthesia, so there are some anesthesia related risks. Although modern anesthesia technology has been quite safe, there are still a few patients who may be allergic to narcotic drugs or have other adverse reactions. In addition, complications such as dyspnea, hypotension and arrhythmia may occur during anesthesia.
4. Postoperative risk
The postoperative recovery period may include pain, discomfort, swelling, congestion and other adverse reactions. These symptoms gradually abate in a few days to weeks after surgery, but may still exist in a few months after surgery. Improper diet, rest and personal care after surgery may lead to infection or delay healing.
In addition, abnormal breast sensation or decreased nipple sensitivity may occur after breast augmentation surgery. These problems usually gradually improve within a few months after surgery, but a few patients may have persistent sensory abnormalities.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery, as a common cosmetic surgery, can really improve women's appearance and self-confidence. However, it is important to understand the procedure and risks. Operation risks include anesthesia risks, implant related risks and postoperative risks. In order to minimize risks and obtain satisfactory results, it is very important to select an experienced and reputable hospital, fully communicate with doctors, and strictly follow the preoperative and postoperative nursing guidance.
