What are the risks of breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery to increase the size of the chest through surgery, which is regarded by many women as a way to improve appearance and increase self-confidence. However, any operation has certain risks, and breast augmentation surgery is no exception. The risks of breast augmentation surgery will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Surgical complications
Breast augmentation surgery may have some surgical complications, such as infection, bleeding and hematoma. During the operation, the incision will destroy the integrity of the skin, which makes bacteria easy to invade the body, leading to an increased risk of infection. In addition, the blood vessels of the surgical wound and surrounding tissues may also be damaged, resulting in postoperative bleeding or hematoma formation. Although these complications can be treated through the care and treatment of doctors, the recovery process after surgery may be prolonged.
In addition, some patients may have the problem of hypertrophic scar after surgery. In this case, large and difficult scars may be formed at the surgical incision, affecting the overall aesthetic effect.
2. Anesthesia risk
Breast augmentation surgery requires the use of narcotic drugs to ensure that patients do not feel pain during the operation. However, the anesthesia process itself has certain risks. Some people may be allergic to narcotic drugs and have allergic reactions. In addition, anesthetic drugs also have an impact on the cardiovascular system and respiratory system. If the patient has heart disease or respiratory system problems, these risks may further increase.
Therefore, before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed anesthesia assessment to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for the use of narcotic drugs.
3. Prosthesis related risks
During breast augmentation surgery, doctors will implant breast prosthesis to enlarge the chest. Although the quality of breast prosthesis is good, there are still some risks. It is reported that the prosthesis may cause local sensory changes, breast hardening, breast shape changes and other problems. The prosthesis may also be rejected by the body, causing inflammation around the prosthesis.
In addition, there is a risk of long-term complications. For example, the prosthesis may need to be repaired or replaced by reoperation due to aging or fracture of materials. Therefore, these risks need to be fully considered and fully discussed with doctors when choosing prosthesis materials and surgical methods.
4. Psychological and social risks
Breast augmentation surgery is not only a physical change, but also has an impact on individual psychology and society. The outcome of the operation may not always be as expected by the patient, which may lead to dissatisfaction and disappointment. In addition, after the operation, the change of personal appearance may cause others' comments and jealousy, which will cause certain pressure on personal psychology.
Therefore, before deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients need to have a real expectation of the surgical results and fully communicate with the doctor before the surgery. In addition, patients also need to have enough psychological preparation to cope with various psychological and social pressures that may occur after surgery.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery plays a significant role in improving women's self-confidence and beauty, but the risks should not be ignored. Surgical complications, anesthesia risks, prosthesis related risks and psychological and social risks are all problems that breast augmentation surgery may face. Only when these risks are fully understood and considered, can patients make wise decisions and work with doctors to develop the most suitable surgical plan.
