What are the risks of breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of plastic surgery to enlarge and improve the breast shape by implanting breast prosthesis. With the pursuit of beauty and the continuous progress of plastic surgery technology, more and more people choose to undergo breast augmentation surgery to improve their appearance. However, breast augmentation surgery is not without risks. The risks of breast augmentation surgery will be elaborated from four aspects.
1. Preoperative evaluation and selection
Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed preoperative assessment of the patient, including physical health, quality and quantity of breast tissue, and personal expectations. This is an important link in judging the feasibility and final effect of the operation. However, due to the different physical conditions and needs of each person, the accuracy and rationality of preoperative assessment and selection are crucial to the control of surgical risk. If the preoperative evaluation is not sufficient or the selection is improper, the risk of surgery may increase.
In addition, some potential health problems and risk factors, such as breast disease, family history of breast cancer and allergic reaction, should also be noted in the preoperative assessment. If these potential problems exist, additional examinations and assessments may be required to determine the safety of the operation.
2. Operation and complications
The operation of breast augmentation surgery is realized by implanting breast prosthesis under breast tissue. The operation itself is a traumatic process, which may cause a series of complications. For example, infection, bleeding, tissue infarction, breast asymmetry, etc. may occur during the operation. These complications may have adverse effects on the surgical results, and even need a second operation to repair them.
In addition, special attention should be paid to the displacement and rejection of breast prosthesis during postoperative recovery. If the breast prosthesis is seriously displaced or rejected by the body, it may need to be re operated to adjust or replace the prosthesis.
3. Long term risks and sequelae
In addition to immediate risks after surgery, breast augmentation surgery may also have some long-term risks and sequelae. For example, problems such as breast hardening, skin relaxation, and breast hypoesthesia may occur after surgery. These sequelae may affect the quality of life of patients and need further treatment or repair.
In addition, with the passage of time, the breast prosthesis may appear aging and cracking problems. This may require reoperation to replace the prosthesis, increasing the patient's surgical risk.
4. Psychological and social impact
Breast augmentation surgery is not only a physical operation, but also involves the psychological and social impact of patients. The outcome of the operation may affect the patient's self-esteem and self-confidence. At the same time, at the social level, breast augmentation surgery may also be questioned and criticized by the outside world.
Before deciding to accept breast augmentation surgery, patients need to fully consider these psychological and social impacts, and ensure that they have sufficient psychological endurance and support systems.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery has certain risks, including preoperative evaluation and selection, surgical procedures and complications, long-term risks and sequelae, as well as psychological and social impacts. Before breast augmentation surgery, patients should have a deep understanding of the risks and possible consequences of the surgery, and make decisions based on full communication and evaluation with doctors.
