What risks should we pay attention to in breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can increase the size and shape of the breast by implanting a prosthesis in the breast. Although this is a relatively safe operation, there are still some risks for patients to pay attention to. This article will elaborate on the risks of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: preoperative preparation, surgical risks, postoperative complications and selection of appropriate hospitals.
1、 Preoperative preparation
Before preparing for breast augmentation surgery, the patient needs to fully communicate with the doctor and carry out relevant physical examination. First of all, the doctor will assess the patient's physical condition and learn about his health history, drug use and allergy history. Secondly, doctors will explain the risks and precautions related to the operation in detail to help patients make wise decisions. Finally, patients also need to receive breast ultrasound, mammography and other examinations to determine the internal structure of the breast and tumor conditions.
Patients need to pay special attention to the selection of appropriate prosthesis materials for breast augmentation surgery, such as silicone prosthesis or saline prosthesis. The patient should fully discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different prostheses with the doctor, and select the appropriate prosthesis type according to their own conditions.
2、 Surgical risk
Breast augmentation surgery itself has certain surgical risks. First, bleeding and infection may occur. During surgery, breast tissue may be damaged, leading to bleeding. At the same time, if the wound is not cleaned correctly after the operation, it may cause infection and seriously affect the surgical effect. Secondly, breast tissue or mammary gland may be damaged during the operation, resulting in abnormal milk secretion. In addition, accidents may occur during surgery, such as prosthesis displacement or rupture.
In order to reduce the risk of surgery, patients should choose qualified and experienced doctors for surgery when choosing hospitals. Before the operation, the doctor should know the patient's physical condition in detail and develop a personalized operation plan. During the operation, the doctor should operate in strict accordance with the operating specifications to avoid unnecessary damage to the surrounding tissues.
3、 Postoperative complications
Some postoperative complications may occur after breast augmentation surgery, such as pain, discomfort, swelling, congestion, etc. These symptoms gradually alleviated within a few days after the operation, but reasonable care and appropriate drug treatment are also needed in the recovery process.
In addition, complications may also occur after breast prosthesis surgery, such as prosthesis rupture, infection, prosthesis sinking, etc. If these problems occur, the patient should seek medical advice in time and receive further treatment from the doctor.
4、 Select the right hospital
It is very important to choose a suitable hospital before breast augmentation surgery. First, patients should choose hospitals and doctors with relevant qualifications and experience to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgical process. Secondly, we can learn about the medical equipment and service quality of the hospital by consulting the evaluation of the hospital and the experience of others. Finally, through face-to-face communication with doctors, we can understand the details of the hospital's surgery process, postoperative care and other details to ensure that we choose the right hospital.
Summary
Although breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, there are still some risks. The patient needs to fully communicate with the doctor before the operation and carry out appropriate physical examination. There are risks such as bleeding and infection during the operation, and problems such as pain, discomfort and prosthesis complications may occur after the operation. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right hospital and doctor. Only when the risks are fully understood and preparations are made can satisfactory results be achieved through breast augmentation surgery.
