Are there side effects of breast augmentation surgery?
With the development of society and the change of aesthetic concept, more and more women choose breast augmentation surgery to improve their breast shape. However, many people have doubts about the side effects of breast augmentation surgery. The following will elaborate on the side effects of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.
1. Postoperative infection risk
Breast augmentation surgery is a traumatic surgery, so there is a risk of infection. Postoperative infection may lead to chest redness, pain, scar formation and other adverse reactions. In order to reduce the risk of infection, the hospital will carry out strict aseptic operation and instruct patients to pay attention to the wound care after surgery. In addition, doctors will prescribe antibiotics and other drugs to patients for prevention.
If postoperative infection occurs, timely treatment and nursing are very important. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan and seek medical advice in time to avoid the spread of infection and aggravation of symptoms.
In general, the risk of postoperative infection exists, but reasonable preoperative preparation and postoperative care can reduce the probability of infection.
2. Postoperative chest stiffening
In breast augmentation surgery, doctors will implant the prosthesis under the breast tissue. After surgery, some patients may have chest stiffness. This phenomenon is generally due to the stimulation of the surrounding tissue and breast by the operation. The main manifestations are increased touch hardness of the chest, local swelling and pain of the breast.
The condition of chest stiffening will generally gradually ease over time, and usually return to normal within weeks to months. Doctors generally give corresponding medical advice according to the specific conditions of patients, such as recommending massage, hot compress and other methods.
Although chest hardening is a normal reaction of breast augmentation surgery, patients should report to the doctor as soon as possible in case of abnormal phenomena, such as persistent pain, redness and swelling, so as to deal with them in a timely manner.
3. Impact on breast cancer screening
Breast augmentation surgery has a certain impact on breast cancer screening. Implantation of the prosthesis under the breast tissue may interfere with the normal screening and testing of the breast. Especially in breast cancer screening examinations such as mammography (mammography), the prosthesis may block the display of tumors.
In order to solve this problem, doctors will conduct detailed preoperative consultation for patients to understand their personal conditions, and carry out other breast cancer screening tests as required, such as breast ultrasound, MRI, etc. For patients, breast cancer screening doctors should also be informed in time that they have undergone breast augmentation surgery, so that doctors can choose appropriate screening methods.
4. Psychological factors
Breast augmentation surgery not only has an impact on the body, but also on the psychology of patients. Tension, anxiety and other emotions may appear before the operation, and psychological changes such as satisfaction with the operation effect and self-image may appear after the operation.
In order to prevent and deal with the influence of these psychological factors, many hospitals will require patients to receive psychological counseling before surgery and provide corresponding psychological support. In addition, the rehabilitation period after surgery also requires active cooperation and psychological counseling of patients.
To sum up, breast augmentation surgery has some side effects while beautifying the chest. The hospital can minimize the probability of these side effects and deal with them in a timely manner during the detailed preoperative consultation and postoperative nursing. Therefore, for women considering breast augmentation surgery, we should not only rationally look at the effect of surgery, but also choose a formal, qualified hospital for surgery.
