Side effects of breast augmentation surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the size and shape of the breast by filling the breast with silicone or saline. Although breast augmentation surgery can give women a better appearance of the chest, there are also some side effects. The side effects of breast augmentation surgery will be elaborated from four aspects.

Postoperative pain and discomfort

After breast augmentation surgery, patients usually feel pain and discomfort after surgery. Within a few days after the operation, the patient may have discomfort such as breast swelling, tingling or soreness. The pain usually lasts for days to weeks, but can be relieved by using pain relievers and ice packs. Some patients may also have complications such as postoperative infection, bleeding or hematoma, which require prompt medical attention.

In addition, the breast after surgery will also appear swelling and nausea. Within a few weeks after the operation, the breast will gradually return to its normal size and adapt to the presence of breast implants.

Risk of silicone implants

Silicone implants are widely used in breast augmentation surgery, but there are also some risks. The material used to make silicone implants may produce a phenomenon called silicone exudation. Silica gel leakage may cause patients to have problems with breast shape change, lumps or lumps. In case of silicone leakage, the patient needs to seek medical advice in time and further treatment.

In addition, silicone implants used in breast augmentation surgery usually need regular inspection and replacement. The implant may break or leak, which may require surgery to repair or replace the implant.

Sensory loss and breast morphological changes

After breast augmentation surgery, some patients may feel the sensitivity of the breast is reduced or lost. This is because the incision of breast tissue and implants during surgery will affect the normal conduction of nerve endings. Although most patients' feelings will recover within weeks or months, a small number of patients may experience long-term sensory loss.

In addition, breast morphology may also change after breast augmentation surgery. The patient may have problems with sagging, deformation or asymmetry of the breast. Improper surgical procedures or improper implant selection may lead to these problems. Patients need to communicate and discuss fully with experienced plastic surgeons to obtain the best postoperative effect.

Summary

Breast augmentation surgery is an effective plastic surgery, which can help women improve breast shape and self-confidence. However, we must also be aware of the side effects of breast augmentation surgery.

First of all, there will be pain and discomfort after the operation, but these symptoms will usually ease over time.

Secondly, silica gel implants may cause silica gel leakage and implant rupture, which need to be handled and replaced in time.

In addition, surgery may cause sensory loss and changes in breast shape, which requires communication between patients and doctors and reasonable expectation management.

Therefore, patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery should fully understand the risks and side effects of the surgery, and carefully choose hospitals and doctors to ensure the safety and effect of the surgery.
