The influence of breast augmentation surgery sequelae
With the constant pursuit of beauty in society, more and more women choose breast augmentation surgery to improve breast shape and size. However, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks, which may lead to some sequelae. This article will elaborate on the sequelae of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: prosthesis infection, abnormal breast sensation, breast ptosis and scar formation.
Prosthetic infection
Prosthesis used in breast augmentation surgery may cause infection due to improper operation, individual differences or postoperative infection. Once infection occurs, the following symptoms may occur: redness and swelling of the breast, fever, pain, etc. Appropriate antibiotic treatment is required, and surgery may be required to replace the prosthesis. In addition, if the infection persists, it may lead to breast tissue damage, or even serious prosthesis abnormalities, such as prosthesis displacement or prosthesis rupture.
In addition, there is a certain chronic risk of prosthetic infection. Postoperative infection may occur in weeks, months or years after surgery. Therefore, regular follow-up and attention to personal hygiene are very important.
Abnormal sensation of breast
Breast augmentation surgery will cause abnormal breast sensation, which may lead to nipple or breast skin hypoesthesia or loss after surgery. This is because some small sensory nerves need to be cut off during the operation. Although this abnormal feeling is temporary in most cases and will gradually improve during recovery, a few patients may experience permanent sensory decline or loss.
In addition, the sense of touch of the breast may also change after surgery, and there may be discomfort or allergic reaction when touching the breast. These abnormal feelings will have a certain impact on the patient's life, especially in the sexual life.
Breast ptosis
Breast ptosis is a common sequela of breast augmentation surgery, especially many years after surgery. This is because breast augmentation surgery will increase the weight of the breast, and the effect of gravity will cause the breast to gradually droop. In addition, the supporting structure of some breast suspension ligaments may be damaged during the operation, which will also accelerate the process of breast ptosis.
In order to reduce the risk of breast prolapse, patients can choose appropriate surgical methods and prosthesis types. In addition, attention should be paid to breast support during postoperative recovery to avoid excessive exercise or pressure, so as to delay the development of breast ptosis.
Scar formation
Breast augmentation surgery requires incision on the breast, so scars of different lengths and shapes will be left after the surgery. The formation of scars is related to individual differences, surgical techniques and postoperative care.
For most patients, the scar usually gradually becomes lighter and whiter, and becomes less obvious in about a year. Proper postoperative care and massage can promote the healing of scars. However, some patients may have excessive scars or hypertrophic scars, resulting in more obvious and protruding scars. This situation requires additional treatment, such as laser therapy or scar repair surgery.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, but it also has certain risks and sequelae. These include prosthetic infection, breast paresthesia, breast ptosis, and scar formation. These sequelae will have a certain impact on the physical and mental health of patients. Therefore, before breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks of surgery, and choose a regular and experienced hospital and doctor for surgery. Postoperative recovery and regular follow-up are also very important to discover and deal with any sequelae in a timely manner.
