Suzhou Youweilin Breast Augmentation Hospital: Risks and complications of breast augmentation surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can help women enlarge their breasts and shape a perfect figure. However, breast augmentation surgery is not without risks, and patients should understand and consider these risks and complications before making a decision. The following will elaborate on the operation risk, postoperative complications, infection risk and breast shape change.

Surgical risk

1. Anesthesia risk: Since breast augmentation surgery requires general anesthesia, the risks brought by anesthesia itself must be considered. Although modern anesthesia technology is relatively safe, there are still very few anesthetic reactions and accidents.

2. Bleeding and haematoma: bleeding may occur during the operation, which may lead to hematoma formation in severe cases. Hematoma may require reoperation to drain blood and prolong the recovery time after surgery.

3. Wound healing problems: Wound healing may have problems, such as infection, skin flap necrosis or scar hyperplasia. These problems require additional treatment and care.

Postoperative complications

1. Sensory changes: After breast augmentation surgery, the sensation of breast and nipple may change, including hypersensitivity or loss of sensation. This situation is usually temporary, but it may also be permanent.

2. Pain and discomfort: For a period of time after surgery, patients may experience breast pain, soreness and discomfort. This condition usually gradually alleviates in a few weeks after surgery.

3. Scar formation: breast augmentation surgery requires incision, so some scars may be left. Most scars will fade gradually, but there are a few patients who may form obvious scars and need additional treatment.

Risk of infection

1. Breast infection: Postoperative infection is one of the most common complications of breast augmentation surgery. Breast infection can cause pain, redness, swelling, fever and other symptoms in the breast, which need timely treatment to avoid complications.

2. Infection around the prosthesis: The prosthesis used during the operation may cause infection of the tissue around the prosthesis. This infection requires surgery or antibiotic treatment.

3. Breast abscess: serious infection may lead to the formation of breast abscess, which needs emergency treatment. A breast abscess may require surgical drainage to eliminate the source of infection.

Breast shape change

1. Implant displacement: The prosthesis may be displaced in daily life and movement after surgery, resulting in asymmetry or shape change of the breast. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and avoid strenuous exercise and trauma to reduce the risk of displacement.

2. Breast ptosis: Over time, breast prosthesis may cause breast tissue prolapse. This condition usually requires a second operation to adjust the breast shape.

3. Breast rupture: The prosthesis may rupture, leading to silicone or saline leakage. Breast rupture requires surgical repair or replacement of prosthesis.

To sum up, breast augmentation surgery has risks and complications, including surgical risks, postoperative complications, infection risks and breast shape changes. When deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should carefully consider these risks and choose a formal and professional hospital, such as Suzhou Youweilin Breast Augmentation Hospital, to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.
