Complications of breast augmentation surgery
With the development of society and the change of aesthetic concept, more and more women choose to undergo breast augmentation surgery to improve their figure and self-confidence. Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery in plastic surgery hospitals. However, like all operations, breast augmentation surgery also has some potential complications. This article will elaborate on the complications of breast augmentation surgery from infection, scar, implant rupture and surgical failure.
Infected
Infection is one of the most common complications after breast augmentation surgery. During the operation, the wound must be in contact with the external environment, making it possible for bacteria to enter the body. Symptoms of infection may include redness, swelling, pain, pus discharge and fever. Severe infection may also lead to implant displacement and increased chest scars. In order to prevent infection, patients need to receive antibacterial treatment before surgery and follow the guidance of postoperative wound care.
In addition, the consequences of serious infection may pose a threat to the health of patients, so patients need to pay close attention to the wound healing after surgery, and should seek medical advice in time if abnormalities are found.
scar
Scar is a common phenomenon in many operations, including breast augmentation. The degree and shape of scars will vary according to individual differences and postoperative care. Some patients may have obvious scars, such as depression, bulge and color change, which may affect the overall beauty and psychological state of patients.
In order to reduce and prevent the appearance of scars, patients need to carry out wound care on time after surgery, use specific scar regression products, and avoid sun exposure and other irritant factors. Some hospitals also provide laser, radio frequency, photodynamic and other auxiliary treatments to help patients reduce the impact of scars.
Implant rupture
Implant rupture sometimes occurs in patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery, which is a rare complication that still needs attention. Implant rupture may be caused by external trauma, surgical failure, improper surgical methods, implant quality problems and other factors. When the implant ruptures, the patient may feel chest pain, enlarged lump, and changed breast shape.
For implant rupture, patients should seek medical help immediately. The doctor will conduct further examinations, such as mammography, MRI, etc., to determine whether there is implant rupture. If confirmed, the patient needs to undergo reoperation to repair the broken implant.
Operation failure
Although modern medical technology is increasingly advanced, not all breast augmentation operations can achieve ideal results. Surgical failure is a rare but existing complication. Surgical failure can be caused by many factors, such as improper selection of surgical methods, inadequate preoperative evaluation, etc.
Failure of operation may lead to problems such as breast asymmetry, implant displacement, and long-term breast prolapse. The patient can fully communicate with the doctor to ensure the accuracy of preoperative evaluation and the rationality of the surgical plan, so as to reduce the risk of surgical failure.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, but patients need to fully understand the risks and complications of surgery before choosing surgery. Infection, scar, implant rupture and operation failure are common complications of breast augmentation surgery. In order to reduce the occurrence of complications, patients should follow the doctor's guidance for preoperative preparation and postoperative care, and return regularly to ensure the stability and safety of the surgical effect.
