Risk and complications of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can improve the shape and size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis, so that women have a perfect curve. However, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks and complications. The risks and complications of breast augmentation surgery will be elaborated from four aspects.
1. Preoperative risk assessment
Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed preoperative evaluation of the patient. This includes examination of the patient's physical condition, breast tissue and skin quality. If the patient has loose breast tissue, poor skin elasticity or other breast diseases, the risk of surgery will increase accordingly. The purpose of preoperative risk assessment is to ensure the safety and feasibility of surgery.
In the preoperative risk assessment, the selection of prosthesis should also be carefully considered. Low quality prosthesis may lead to rejection or rejection after implantation, resulting in infection or other complications. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable prosthesis.
In addition, breast augmentation surgery has the risk of anesthesia. Everyone has different anesthetic reactions. Before surgery, doctors need to conduct a detailed anesthetic assessment to ensure that the patient's body can withstand the effects of anesthetic drugs.
2. Intraoperative risks and complications
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation that needs precise operation, and there are certain risks and complications during the operation. This includes but is not limited to excessive bleeding, destruction of tissues or blood vessels, infection, etc. during the operation. Patients need to be closely observed during the operation, and doctors need to master skilled surgical techniques and rich experience to reduce the occurrence of intraoperative risks.
In addition, prosthesis displacement or poor reduction may occur during the operation. If the patient does not follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance, or the prosthesis itself is of poor quality, the risk of displacement will also increase.
3. Postoperative risks and complications
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need active postoperative care and recovery. If the patient does not reasonably arrange rest and diet during recovery, infection, rejection and other complications may occur. In addition, patients need to pay close attention to the shape and touch of the breast after surgery to find abnormal changes in time.
Chest pain, swelling, bruises and other symptoms may occur after chest surgery, which is a normal postoperative reaction. However, if the pain lasts too long and the wound shows signs of secretion or infection, the patient needs to see a doctor immediately.
4. Psychological and social risks
Breast augmentation surgery not only involves physical changes, but also affects the psychological and social life of patients. Some patients are too idealistic about the operation results in the early stage of the operation, which may lead to psychological maladjustment after the operation. Problems such as surgical failure, prosthesis infection or complications may affect the mental health and self-confidence of patients.
Breast augmentation surgery may also have a certain impact on the social life of patients. For example, in some professions, breast augmentation surgery may be limited or unacceptable. In addition, if the postoperative recovery is improper, the shape of the chest may be uncoordinated, causing concern and judgment from others.
summary
Although breast augmentation surgery can bring beauty and confidence to women, it also has certain risks and complications. Preoperative preparation and risk assessment are very important. During the operation, doctors' fine operation and technology are required. After the operation, patients need active care and recovery. In addition, enough attention should be paid to the mental health and social adaptation of patients. Before choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and complications of surgery, and make decisions under the guidance of professional doctors.
