Does breast augmentation surgery have side effects?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to enlarge the chest by implanting prosthesis, which is favored by many women. However, breast augmentation surgery is not without risks, it may bring some side effects. The side effects of breast augmentation prosthesis surgery will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Postoperative infection risk
Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical operation, so postoperative infection is a potential risk. Postoperative infection may cause pain, redness, swelling, fever and other symptoms. In serious cases, the prosthesis may need to be removed for treatment. In order to reduce the risk of infection, doctors usually require patients to carry out appropriate preparation before surgery and postoperative care, and give antibiotics to prevent infection.
In addition, unreasonable postoperative care and good personal hygiene habits also play an important role in the occurrence of infection. Therefore, patients should strictly follow the doctor's advice, keep the wound clean and dry after surgery, and avoid swimming, sauna and other easily infected environments.
2. Prosthesis displacement or rupture
After breast augmentation, the prosthesis may be displaced or ruptured due to various factors. Prosthesis displacement may lead to chest asymmetry, which brings unsatisfactory results to patients. The rupture of the prosthesis may lead to silicone leakage inside the prosthesis, which may cause abnormal chest sclerosis, and even cause health risks.
In order to reduce these risks, patients should choose regular hospitals and experienced doctors when choosing breast augmentation surgery to ensure the safety and professionalism of the surgery process. Postoperative patients should also receive regular physical examination and follow-up, so as to find and deal with possible displacement or rupture of the prosthesis in a timely manner.
3. Postoperative pain and discomfort
After breast augmentation surgery, patients may have postoperative pain and discomfort. This is due to the operation of cutting the chest tissue and implanting the prosthesis. The degree of postoperative pain varies with individual differences and surgical methods.
The patient needs to rest after surgery to avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion to reduce the feeling of pain. Doctors often give painkillers to relieve postoperative pain. However, if the pain is too severe or accompanied with abnormal symptoms, the patient should seek medical help in a timely manner.
4. Psychological and emotional changes
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation to change appearance, and patients may face some psychological and emotional changes after surgery. On the one hand, patients' expectations of their appearance may not be completely consistent with the surgical results, leading to disappointment and dissatisfaction. On the other hand, the reaction of people around and social pressure after surgery may also cause psychological burden on patients.
Therefore, preoperative patients need to fully understand the surgical risks and postoperative effects, and rationally treat the effects of surgery. After surgery, patients can seek professional psychological counseling to strengthen their own awareness and confidence, and avoid excessive dependence on the happiness brought by appearance.
summary
Although breast augmentation surgery can improve the shape of the chest and enhance self-confidence, it also has some side effects. Postoperative infection, prosthesis displacement and rupture, postoperative pain and discomfort, and psychological and emotional changes are common side effects. Patients should consider carefully when choosing surgery, and choose a regular hospital and experienced doctors for surgery. After surgery, patients should follow the guidance of doctors, pay attention to postoperative care and physical examination follow-up, regularly check the condition of the prosthesis, and timely seek professional help to deal with postoperative problems.
