Risk of breast augmentation surgery in Nanjing Second Hospital
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can improve the shape and size of women's breasts. However, like other operations, breast augmentation surgery in Nanjing Second Hospital also has certain risks. This article will elaborate from four aspects: infection risk, postoperative complications, failure rate of surgery, and postoperative problems that need attention.
Risk of infection
Every operation has the risk of infection, and breast augmentation surgery is no exception. During and after surgery, surgeons will take a series of strict disinfection measures to minimize the risk of infection. However, differences in the human immune system and individual physical conditions may affect the risk of infection.
The symptoms of postoperative infection include fever, redness, swelling, pain and abnormal discharge of secretions. If the infection is serious, further treatment may be required, such as removing the fluid in the bag or replacing the breast prosthesis. Therefore, before surgery, doctors will introduce the risk of infection to patients in detail and take appropriate preventive measures.
In addition, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for proper wound care and drug treatment after surgery to reduce the risk of infection.
Postoperative complications
Some complications may occur after breast augmentation surgery. These include hematoma, blood stasis, wound dehiscence, breast hardening or softening, loss of sensation, etc. The incidence of these complications is low, but patients still need to pay close attention and report to doctors in time.
Patients with hematoma after surgery will feel pain and skin tension, and need timely treatment to prevent further complications. When blood stasis occurs, the breast may appear asymmetric or abnormal swelling. If the wound is open, a thin suture or additional surgery may be required. The hard or soft breast may be caused by the improper position of the prosthesis, and the doctor needs to be consulted to determine whether further adjustment surgery is needed.
Operation failure rate
The success of breast augmentation surgery is affected by many factors, including surgical techniques, prosthesis selection, surgical methods, etc. Nanjing Second Hospital has experienced plastic surgery experts and advanced equipment, but the risk of surgery failure still exists.
The manifestations of surgical failure include unsatisfactory chest shape, prosthesis displacement, symmetry problems, etc. If the operation fails, a second operation may be required to repair the problem. Therefore, when deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients need to fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and possible results of the surgery.
Postoperative precautions
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay attention to some postoperative nursing matters to promote rehabilitation and reduce the risk of complications.
First, the patient needs to rest and recover according to the doctor's advice. There may be some discomfort within a few days after the operation, such as pain, breast tension and swelling. During the recovery period, strenuous exercise and physical labor should be avoided to avoid affecting the healing of the wound.
Secondly, patients need to pay attention to the cleaning and nursing of wounds. It is recommended to gently clean the wound with warm water and non irritating soap, and keep the wound dry. Avoid irritant bath products, swimming pools and other environments that are prone to infection.
Finally, the patient needs to visit again regularly so that the doctor can evaluate the wound healing and breast recovery in a timely manner and answer the patient's questions.
Summary
Although Nanjing Second Hospital has professional doctors and equipment for breast augmentation surgery, there are still some risks. Infection, postoperative complications, surgical failure rate and postoperative precautions are the key points that need patients' attention. Before choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients should understand the risks of surgery and consult and communicate with doctors in detail.
