What side effects will there be after breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of cosmetic surgery, which can increase the size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis in the breast. Although this operation can help women get the ideal chest shape, some side effects may occur after the operation. This article will elaborate on the possible side effects after breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.

1. Postoperative pain and discomfort

After breast augmentation surgery, patients often have postoperative pain and discomfort. This is caused by surgical trauma, postoperative tissue edema and nerve stimulation. The degree of postoperative pain and discomfort varies from person to person, but usually gradually decreases in a few days to weeks after surgery. Doctors usually prescribe some analgesics for patients to relieve their discomfort.

In addition, discomfort symptoms such as breast tightness and chest heaviness may occur after breast augmentation surgery. These symptoms generally decrease with time.

2. Postoperative depression or wrinkles

After breast augmentation surgery, some patients may have breast depression or wrinkles. This may be caused by the mismatch between the prosthesis and breast tissue, surgical trauma or improper surgical techniques. In some cases, the patient may need a repair operation to solve the problem of depression or wrinkles.

In order to reduce the occurrence of depressions or wrinkles, it is very important to select the appropriate size and shape of prosthesis and have experienced doctors perform surgery.

3. Abnormal breast sensation

After breast augmentation surgery, some patients may have abnormal breast sensation. This includes loss of sensation, hypersensitivity, tingling or irritation of the nipple or breast skin. This is due to the temporary damage to the breast nerve caused by the operation. Generally, this abnormal feeling will gradually recover within a few months, but in rare cases it may last longer.

Before surgery, patients should understand the possible impact of surgery on breast sensation in detail, and consult the doctor about postoperative nursing methods.

4. Postoperative infection and prosthesis rupture

After breast augmentation surgery, patients sometimes face the risk of infection and prosthesis rupture. The infection may occur at the incision after the operation, which makes the wound difficult to heal and recover, and even needs to be cleaned again and treated with antibiotics. Prosthesis rupture may be caused by surgical trauma, external force impact or aging of the prosthesis, which requires a second operation to replace the prosthesis.

In order to reduce the incidence of infection and prosthesis rupture, doctors usually conduct detailed preoperative evaluation and intraoperative operation specifications before surgery. Patients also need to follow the doctor's nursing guidance after the operation, pay attention to keeping the wound clean, and return regularly to ensure the effect of the operation.

Summary

Breast augmentation surgery can improve the appearance of women's breasts, but there may be some side effects after the surgery. Postoperative pain and discomfort, depression or wrinkles, abnormal breast sensation, infection and prosthesis rupture are common side effects. Before deciding to accept breast augmentation surgery, patients should understand these side effects in detail, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors, so as to make correct decisions and reasonably deal with the risk of side effects after surgery.
