Possible sequelae after breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can increase the fullness and straightness of the chest by implanting silicone prosthesis or physiological saline. Although the effect of this operation is remarkable, there are still some potential sequelae to be considered. Understanding and understanding these possible sequelae is critical to making an informed decision before choosing surgery.
1. Implant infection
A common complication after breast augmentation surgery is implant infection. Although the improvement of modern medical equipment and postoperative care has greatly reduced the risk of infection, it may still occur. If infection occurs, it may need to be resolved through surgery or antibiotic treatment. At the same time, implant infection may also lead to implant removal or replacement.
In addition, breast augmentation surgery may also lead to postoperative local redness, swelling and pain, which may be one of the signs of infection. If there is any abnormality after operation, consult the hospital and seek professional advice in a timely manner.
2. Scar formation
Breast augmentation surgery usually requires an incision at the lower edge of the breast, under the armpit or around the nipple. Although modern technology makes the surgical incision smaller and more concealed, scar formation may still occur. Individual differences and postoperative care will also affect the results of scar healing.
In the rehabilitation process after surgery, providing proper scar care and following the doctor's advice can reduce the possibility of scar formation. The severity of scar formation varies from person to person, and some people may have bulges or scars.
3. Post mastectomy hardening
After the silicone prosthesis or physiological saline is implanted into the breast, sometimes the breast tissue will harden, which is called postoperative hardening of breast. The hardening may be due to the formation of a fibrous capsule around the prosthesis, which is a normal immune response, but may also lead to changes in the shape and touch of the breast.
The severity of postoperative breast stiffening varies from individual to individual. Some patients may only have slight discomfort, while others may need to be operated again to solve this problem. It is very important for patients who become hardened after breast surgery to have regular follow-up visits and consult the doctor in a timely manner.
4. Postoperative breast ptosis
A potential problem after breast augmentation surgery is breast ptosis. Breast ptosis may be caused by tissue relaxation or gravity after surgery, or it may be caused by failure to properly support breast tissue during surgery.
The severity of breast ptosis varies with the condition of the breast itself and the surgical method before surgery. For patients with postoperative breast prolapse, further surgery may be required to repair the shape of the breast.
Summary
Although breast augmentation surgery has obvious effects on improving the shape of the chest, there are also some sequelae that need to be considered by patients before deciding on surgery. These include implant infection, scar formation, postoperative breast stiffening, and postoperative breast prolapse. Although modern medical technology has made great progress and there are many effective methods to prevent and treat these sequelae, patients still need to understand and accept these potential risks. Adequate preoperative consultation, understanding of the operation process and risks, and following the doctor's recommendations and postoperative nursing requirements are the key to minimizing complications.
