Side effects and hazards in breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery in which a prosthesis is implanted into the breast through surgery to increase the size and shape of the breast. In today's society, breast augmentation surgery has become a very common plastic surgery. Although breast augmentation surgery can help people realize their beautiful wishes, there are also some side effects and risks during the operation. This article will elaborate on the possible side effects of breast augmentation surgery from the aspects of preoperative preparation, surgical process, postoperative recovery and long-term side effects.
The importance of preoperative preparation
Preoperative preparation is an important link for the success of breast augmentation surgery. The doctor will evaluate the feasibility of the operation according to the patient's physical condition, breast shape, potential disease and other factors. Before surgery, doctors usually carry out detailed consultation and examination, including breast ultrasound, breast X-ray, etc., to ensure the safety of the operation. In addition, before the operation, the doctor will introduce the risks and possible side effects of the operation to the patient in detail, including postoperative infection, breast hardening, breast displacement, etc., and inform the patient of the limitations of the operation and follow-up care.
Although doctors will try their best to reduce the risk of surgery, the individual differences and physiological reactions of patients may lead to the occurrence of side effects after surgery.
Side effects during operation
The possible side effects during operation mainly include surgical trauma, discomfort and postoperative complications. Surgical trauma is one of the unavoidable factors in breast augmentation surgery. The surgical incision needs to be cut and sutured to a certain extent. After the operation, there may be pain, congestion, swelling and other symptoms, but these symptoms usually subside within a few weeks.
Postoperative discomfort is also one of the common side effects. Because of prosthesis implantation, the breast will feel numbness, tightness, heaviness and other feelings to varying degrees, but these symptoms usually gradually alleviate within weeks after surgery.
Postoperative complications are one of the most worrying side effects of breast augmentation surgery. Possible complications include infection, breast injury, prosthesis displacement, breast induration, etc. These complications may lead to surgical failure, dysfunction and subsequent psychological distress.
Postoperative recovery and long-term side effects
The recovery process after breast augmentation surgery is very important. Patients need to follow the doctor's instructions, including diet, rest and medication, within a few days after surgery. Under normal circumstances, the breast will gradually return to the normal state within a few weeks after the operation, and the side effects will gradually reduce. However, the time required for complete recovery varies from individual to individual.
Although surgical complications may be alleviated within weeks after surgery, some long-term side effects may still occur. Breast induration and prosthesis displacement may be common problems for a long time after surgery. Breast induration may cause breast discomfort, tenderness or deformation, and prosthesis displacement may require further surgery to repair.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, but inevitably there are some side effects and risks. The importance of preoperative preparation cannot be ignored. Detailed consultation and examination by doctors can help patients better understand the risks and limitations of surgery. The possible side effects during the operation include surgical trauma, discomfort and postoperative complications. The recovery and long-term side effects after the operation require patient patience and reasonable care. Before choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and side effects of surgery and make prudent decisions.
