Postoperative risk of breast augmentation surgery in Nanjing Second Hospital

Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the shape and size of the chest by implanting silicone prosthesis or autologous fat. Nanjing Second Hospital is a well-known medical institution that provides high-quality plastic surgery services. However, just like any kind of surgery, there are certain risks. Before breast augmentation surgery, it is important to understand the possible postoperative risks.

Risk of infection

Postoperative infection is a major risk in breast augmentation surgery. Because the prosthesis needs to be put into the body through an incision during the operation, the incision may be infected by bacteria if exposed to the external environment. When the incision is infected, symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, fever and breast hardening will appear. Treatment of infection may require antibiotics or surgical drainage. Nanjing Second Hospital will conduct comprehensive examination and preparation for patients before surgery to reduce the risk of infection.

In addition, patients should also pay attention to keeping the incision clean and sanitary in postoperative nursing to avoid infection by external bacteria. It is also very important to have regular follow-up visits to ensure that they return to normal after surgery without signs of infection.

Risk of displacement or fracture of prosthesis

Silicone prosthesis is one of the commonly used materials in breast augmentation surgery. Although silicone implants are stable and durable, in some cases they may be displaced or ruptured. This may be due to improper operation, external force impact or time effect. When the prosthesis is displaced or ruptured, it may cause problems such as chest asymmetry, lumps, pain, or breast morphological changes.

In order to reduce the risk of prosthesis displacement or rupture, Nanjing Second Hospital will select appropriate prosthesis during the operation and operate in strict accordance with the surgical procedures. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's recommendations for proper care and regular follow-up to ensure the stability and safety of the prosthesis.

Risk of abnormal breast sensation

After breast augmentation surgery, patients may have abnormal breast sensation. This may include breast numbness, hypersensitivity, or loss of sensation. These sensory abnormalities are usually caused by nerve damage during surgery. In most cases, this abnormal sensation is temporary and will return to normal within weeks or months after surgery. However, a few patients may have persistent paresthesia.

The plastic surgeons in Nanjing Second Hospital will perform professional operations to avoid nerve damage. Patients should follow the doctor's advice after surgery and carry out appropriate rehabilitation training to help restore normal breast feeling.

Other risks and summary

In addition to the risks mentioned above, breast augmentation surgery may also lead to other complications, such as hematoma, blood stasis, scar hyperplasia, etc. The situation of each patient is unique, and the recovery process after surgery will vary from person to person.

In short, Nanjing Second Hospital, as a well-known medical institution, will be committed to providing high-quality medical services during breast augmentation surgery. Although there are certain postoperative risks in breast augmentation surgery, these risks can be minimized through professional medical teams and scientific and reasonable operation procedures. Comprehensive examination before operation and reasonable nursing after operation are as important as rehabilitation training, which helps to recover after operation and reduce the probability of complications.
