What are the risks of breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic surgery that can increase the size and shape of the breast by implanting silicone or saline into the breast. Although breast augmentation surgery is increasingly popular in the field of cosmetic surgery, it also carries certain risks and complications. It is important to understand these risks before choosing breast augmentation surgery. This article will elaborate on the risks of breast augmentation surgery from the aspects of preoperative evaluation, surgical risks, postoperative complications and surgical effects.
1、 Preoperative evaluation
Before breast augmentation surgery, doctors need to conduct a detailed preoperative evaluation to determine the suitability of patients and surgical risks. Preoperative assessment includes breast examination, physical condition assessment and psychological assessment. Among them, breast examination is to evaluate the size, shape, skin elasticity and other indicators of the patient's breast to determine the appropriate implant. Physical condition assessment is mainly to assess the overall physical health of patients, including allergy history, disease history and surgery history. Psychological assessment is to ensure that patients can adapt to the new appearance after surgery, and have a clear understanding of the expectations and risks of surgery.
In the preoperative evaluation, the doctor will evaluate the feasibility and risk of the operation according to the specific situation of the patient to help the patient make a wise decision.
2、 Surgical risk
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery, so it also comes with surgical risks. The risks of surgery include bleeding, infection, implant displacement and failure. Intraoperative bleeding is one of the common risks in breast augmentation surgery, but it is relatively low in experienced doctors and hospitals with complete equipment. Infection is a risk that any operation may encounter. Patients need to properly care for the surgical incision to avoid infection. Implant displacement is a possible complication caused by unfixed implant site or improper operation, which requires regular review after operation and attention to protect the surgical site. Surgical failure usually refers to unsatisfactory results after surgery, which may include inappropriate size, poor shape and other problems.
For the operation risks, qualified doctors and hospitals will take corresponding measures to reduce these risks.
3、 Postoperative complications
In addition to the risks of the operation itself, there are some postoperative complications of breast augmentation surgery that need attention. Postoperative complications include swelling, pain, scar, bulge, abnormal nipple sensation, etc. These complications usually dissipate within a period of time after surgery, but further treatment may be required in individual cases. For example, hypertrophic scars may require scar repair surgery, and bulges may require implant adjustment or repair.
The occurrence of postoperative complications is related to the individual differences of patients, surgical techniques and postoperative nursing care. Patients need to pay close attention to the recovery after surgery and follow the doctor's advice for proper care.
4、 Surgical effect
*The latter aspect is the effect of the operation. The final effect of breast augmentation surgery depends on many factors, including individual differences of patients, surgical techniques and implant selection. Although breast augmentation surgery can increase breast size and improve breast shape, the postoperative effect may vary from individual to individual. Some patients may not be satisfied with the effect of surgery, which is also a risk of surgery.
To sum up, the risks of breast augmentation surgery mainly include preoperative evaluation, surgical risks, postoperative complications and surgical results. It is very important to understand these risks and select the appropriate doctor and hospital for surgery. Sufficient communication and understanding before operation, as well as correct nursing and recovery after operation, can reduce the occurrence of operation risks and complications, and improve the satisfaction of operation results.
