Common complications of breast augmentation surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which aims to increase the size and shape of women's breasts. Although breast augmentation surgery is very popular in improving self-confidence and appearance, we cannot ignore the complications that may occur during the surgery. This article will elaborate on the common complications of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.

Infection and pain

Once the operation is completed, infection may be one of the most common complications. Postoperative medication and nursing measures are very important to avoid infection. If infection occurs, the patient may experience redness, swelling, pain, fever and other symptoms. Early detection and treatment of infection can reduce the risk of complications.

In addition, some patients may experience severe pain after breast augmentation surgery. This may be caused by cutting and compression of tissue implants during surgery. Pain usually gradually decreases within a few days after surgery, but in some cases it may take a long time to fully recover.

Anesthesia risk and effect are not ideal

Chest sensory loss and fibrous capsule formation

Breast augmentation surgery may cause some patients to experience nipple and areola sensation loss after surgery. This is due to the compression of nerves during the operation. Most patients will recover feeling within a few months after surgery, but some patients may need a longer time.

Another potential complication is the formation of fibrous capsule. A fibrous capsule is a thin layer of tissue that forms around the implant. If the fibrous capsule is formed excessively, it may cause chest stiffening, deformation and pain. Surgical repair or implant replacement is required to solve the problem.

Implant rupture and displacement

Silicone or saline implants used in breast augmentation surgery may be broken or displaced. Rupture of implants is usually caused by the passage of time and aging of implants, while displacement may be caused by improper surgery or trauma. The occurrence of these complications may lead to problems such as asymmetry, deformation and pain of the chest, which need re operation to repair.

Formation of scar and recovery period after operation

Breast augmentation surgery may lead to scarring in some patients. Postoperative scar formation is related to individual differences, but most of the scars will gradually subside within a few months after surgery. Within a few weeks after surgery, the scars may appear red, sclerotic and protruding, but they will gradually smooth and fade over time.

In addition, complete postoperative recovery may take weeks to months. During recovery, it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and weight lifting to ensure proper rest and healing of the body.

summary

Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, but complications can not be ignored. Infection and pain are common complications, while chest sensory loss, fibrous capsule formation, implant rupture and displacement, and postoperative recovery may also cause problems. The risk of complications can be minimized by choosing a professional hospital and experienced doctors and following the postoperative nursing guidance. Before making a decision, the patient should have a detailed understanding of all aspects of the operation and have full communication and discussion with the doctor.
