Risk and side effects of breast augmentation with prosthesis in Shenzhen public hospitals
Prosthetic breast augmentation surgery is very common in public hospitals in Shenzhen. However, like any surgery, it also has certain risks and side effects. Before considering breast augmentation with prostheses, it is important to understand these risks and side effects in order to make an informed decision.
1. Postoperative infection risk and side effects
Postoperative infection is one of the common complications of breast augmentation with prosthesis. Both the surgical incision and the implant itself may become the entrance of bacterial infection. Postoperative infection often presents with chest pain, redness, swelling, fever and abnormal secretion. If the infection is treated in time, it may only need antibiotics to recover, but severe infection may require re operation.
In addition to postoperative infection, breast augmentation with prostheses may also lead to accessory breast syndrome. When the surgical incision is not fully healed, bacteria will infect and cause redness, swelling, pain, pus secretion and other symptoms in the paralacteal region.
In addition, breast augmentation with prosthesis may lead to mastitis, which is a kind of breast tissue infection, often accompanied by breast pain, redness and fever. Mastitis needs to be treated in time to prevent the spread of infection.
2. Risk of prosthesis displacement and fracture
Prosthesis displacement and rupture are common complications in breast augmentation surgery. The prosthesis may be displaced or overturned, resulting in asymmetric or altered breast shape. Rupture of the prosthesis may lead to leakage of silicone in the prosthesis, which may lead to inflammatory reaction or breast swelling. If these complications occur, reoperation may be required to replace or repair the prosthesis.
3. Loss of sensation and breast pain
Some patients will experience breast pain and loss of sensation after breast augmentation surgery with prosthesis. This may be because some nerves were cut off or the breast nerves were damaged during the operation. Breast pain can last for weeks or months and may require medication. Sensation loss may be temporary, but it may also be sexual.
4. Corrective surgery and follow-up maintenance
Prosthesis breast augmentation surgery is not once and for all. Over time, the prosthesis may need to be adjusted or replaced. The prosthesis will deform to a certain extent with the passage of time, which may lead to uneven breast shape. In addition, the looseness and aging of breast tissue may also affect the appearance of the prosthesis. In order to maintain a satisfactory appearance, corrective surgery or regular visits to the doctor may be required.
In conclusion, the risks and side effects of prosthetic breast augmentation surgery in Shenzhen public hospitals include postoperative infection, prosthesis displacement and rupture, breast pain and sensory loss, and subsequent adjustment and maintenance. Before deciding whether to operate, patients should fully communicate with doctors and understand these risks and side effects. At the same time, choosing a hospital with good reputation and experienced doctors is also an important factor to ensure the success and safety of the operation.
