Complications after liposuction and breast augmentation
Liposuction and breast augmentation is a common plastic surgery, which can improve the figure curve and chest shape after surgery. However, like any other surgery, liposuction and breast augmentation surgery also has some potential complications. This article will elaborate on the possible postoperative complications from the following four aspects.
1. Postoperative infection
Postoperative infection is a problem that any operation may face. In liposuction and breast augmentation surgery, patients may have postoperative infection. The infection may occur at the surgical incision, causing redness, swelling, exudation and pain. Severe infections may require antibiotic treatment and even incision cleaning and drainage. In order to reduce the risk of infection, doctors usually provide corresponding antibiotic prevention measures for patients before and after surgery, and strictly follow disinfection and aseptic operation during surgery.
In addition, it is also important for patients to properly care for the wound after surgery and keep it clean and dry. Regular follow-up visits and nursing according to the doctor's recommendations can identify and deal with potential infection problems in a timely manner.
2. Bleeding and hematoma
Postoperative hemorrhage and hematoma are also common complications. Since some blood vessels may be damaged during the operation, once the hemostasis is poor, obvious bleeding symptoms may appear after the operation, such as swelling, congestion and pain. Large scale hemorrhage and hematoma may also require further treatment, and may require blood drainage or vascular repair.
In order to reduce the risk of bleeding and hematoma, patients should inform doctors about their disease history, drug history, bleeding tendency and other information before surgery. The doctor will formulate the corresponding operation plan according to the specific situation of the patient, and pay attention to hemostasis control during the operation.
3. Scars and skin problems
Postoperative scar is one of the common complications in liposuction and breast augmentation surgery. The surgical incision may leave obvious scars, especially for patients with sensitive skin. Although modern plastic surgery technology is very mature and some suture techniques can be used to reduce the formation of scars, it is unlikely to completely avoid the formation of scars.
In addition, other skin problems after surgery, such as pigmentation, inflammation and swelling, are also common. These problems usually diminish gradually within a few weeks after surgery. Patients can improve their skin recovery by regular massage, maintaining normal blood circulation and keeping away from the sun.
4. Implant related issues
In liposuction and breast augmentation surgery, implant related problems are also one of the complications that patients may face. For example, the implant may be displaced, rotated or broken. These situations sometimes require re operation for repair or replacement of implants.
In order to reduce the occurrence of implant related problems, doctors will select appropriate implants according to the size and needs of patients before surgery, and conduct detailed preoperative evaluation according to the specific conditions of patients. Patients should follow the doctor's advice after the operation, and avoid strenuous exercise and external force collision to avoid damage to the implant.
summary
Liposuction and breast augmentation can effectively improve the figure and chest shape, but it may also cause some complications after the operation. These complications include postoperative infection, bleeding and hematoma, scar and skin problems, and implant related problems. In order to reduce the risk of complications, patients should fully understand the operation before surgery, provide detailed medical history and physical examination information, and strictly follow the doctor's postoperative nursing recommendations. In case of any abnormality after operation, timely communicate with the doctor and receive further treatment.
