Physiological sequelae after breast augmentation surgery
With the improvement of living standards and the constant change of aesthetic concepts, many women choose breast augmentation surgery to improve their breast shape. However, although breast augmentation surgery can meet people's aesthetic needs, it will also produce some sequelae. Next, we will elaborate on the sequelae of breast augmentation surgery from the physiological aspect.
1. Pain and discomfort
Pain and discomfort after breast augmentation surgery is one of the common sequelae. After surgery, the chest will feel tight, distended and painful, especially within a few days after the surgery. Breast augmentation surgery usually requires wearing a support bra within a few weeks after the operation to reduce chest discomfort. In addition, pain relief drugs can be used to relieve pain after surgery.
There may also be congestion and edema in the chest after breast augmentation surgery. These symptoms usually gradually alleviate within a few weeks, but the patient needs to maintain good rest and recovery.
2. Sense change
After breast augmentation surgery, the feeling of the chest may change. During the operation, the implant will have a certain impact on the surrounding nerves, leading to postoperative sensory abnormalities. Some patients may have sensory changes such as excessive or insufficient sensitivity of breast, nipple or areola. These sensory changes usually return to normal within a few months after surgery, but may also be permanent.
In addition, swelling or hardening of the breast may occur after breast augmentation surgery, which is caused by poor lymph drainage due to surgical stimulation. This condition usually subsides within a few weeks, but sometimes it needs to be eliminated through massage and other treatments.
3. Scar formation
After breast augmentation surgery, patients may have scars at the surgical site. The degree of scar formation is related to individual differences. Generally speaking, the scar will gradually fade within a few months after surgery. However, for some patients, scars may be obvious, and additional treatment measures need to be taken to reduce the impact of scars.
In order to reduce the formation of scars, patients need to avoid ultraviolet exposure during recovery, follow the doctor's postoperative care guidance, and regularly carry out scar repair treatment.
4. Implant related complications
Implants used in breast augmentation surgery may also have related complications. For example, implant rupture or displacement may lead to irregular or asymmetric chest shape, which requires secondary surgery to repair. In addition, implants may also cause complications such as infection and connective tissue lesions.
In order to reduce implant related complications, patients should be very careful when selecting hospitals and doctors. Select a reputable and experienced regular hospital, and select appropriate implants according to the doctor's suggestions.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can help women improve the shape of the chest. However, some physiological sequelae may occur after surgery, such as pain and discomfort, sensory changes, scar formation and implant related complications. By selecting regular hospitals and doctors and following the doctors' postoperative nursing guidance, we can reduce the occurrence of these sequelae and obtain ideal surgical results.
