Side effects after breast augmentation
With the popularity of cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation surgery has become a choice for more and more women to pursue perfect breasts. However, some side effects of breast augmentation can not be ignored after surgery. This article will elaborate on the possible side effects after breast augmentation from four aspects.
1. Postoperative pain and discomfort
During the recovery period after breast augmentation surgery, pain and discomfort are common side effects. Within 24 to 48 hours after surgery, the patient may feel pain and tightness in the chest muscles. In addition, chest swelling, tenderness and skin redness may occur after surgery. These discomfort usually lasts for a period of time, but can be alleviated by analgesics and local hot compress recommended by the doctor.
It should be noted that during the postoperative recovery period, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting to reduce pain and discomfort and help the wound healing.
2. Postoperative complications and infection risk
Although breast augmentation surgery is a safe operation, the risk of complications and infection still exists. Hematoma, pulmonary embolism, skin necrosis and other complications may occur after surgery. In addition, if the postoperative wound is not properly cared for and treated, it may cause infection.
In order to reduce the risk of complications and infection, postoperative patients need to be restored and nursed in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations, keep the wound clean, and regularly return for further examination. In case of abnormal symptoms, such as fever, redness, swelling, pain, etc., seek medical advice in time.
3. Postoperative sclerosis and prosthesis rupture
Breast sclerosis may occur after breast augmentation surgery. Sclerosis refers to abnormal scar reaction in the tissue around the prosthesis, which causes the breast to become firm and unnatural. Sclerosis may affect the shape and feel of the breast and cause pain and discomfort.
In addition, prosthesis rupture is also a rare side effect after breast augmentation surgery. Although modern prostheses are relatively solid, long-term use and external factors may lead to fracture of the prosthesis. Broken prostheses may require re operation for replacement.
4. Psychological and social impact
The side effects of breast augmentation surgery are not only limited to the physical aspects, but also have a certain impact on the psychological and social status of patients. The patients after surgery may meet with emotional problems such as disappointment caused by the difference between the preoperative expectation and the actual effect, dissatisfaction with the surgical results, decreased self-confidence, and fear of being known by others.
In addition, social factors may also bring discomfort to patients after surgery. The negative comments and opinions of family members, friends or colleagues may increase the psychological pressure of patients. Therefore, before surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and benefits of surgery, and make full preparations in terms of psychological preparation and social support.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, but there may be some side effects after surgery. After surgery, patients may feel pain and discomfort, and there are also risks of complications and infection. Breast sclerosis and prosthesis rupture may also occur after surgery. In addition, surgery may have some impact on the psychological and social status of patients. Therefore, before deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and side effects of the surgery, and operate under the guidance of doctors. After the operation, the patient needs to recover and care in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations, and seek medical advice to deal with abnormal conditions in time. In addition, good psychological preparation and social support are also important factors for postoperative recovery.
