What risks of breast augmentation surgery need attention?
Breast augmentation surgery is a very common kind of female cosmetic surgery, which can change the shape of the chest by implanting breast prosthesis or fat transplantation. Although breast augmentation surgery has brought many benefits in beautifying body shape and improving self-confidence, there are also some risks worth noting. This article will elaborate on the risks of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: surgical complications, postoperative effects, surgical costs and precautions in the recovery period.
Surgical complications
Breast augmentation surgery, as a kind of surgery, also has certain risks. Complications such as infection, hemorrhage and hematoma may occur during the operation. Although the probability of these complications under modern medical technology is relatively low, it still needs attention and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. Some regular hospitals will conduct a comprehensive physical examination of patients before surgery to ensure that the patients' physical conditions are suitable for surgery.
After surgery, some patients will have breast pain, swelling, congestion and other problems. These problems usually subside within a few weeks, but if there are abnormal conditions, such as severe pain, signs of infection, etc., you should seek medical advice in time.
In addition, breast augmentation surgery may also lead to loss or abnormality of breast sensation and decreased nipple sensitivity. Some patients may also have an unnatural breast shape after surgery, which requires repair surgery.
Postoperative effect
The postoperative effect of breast augmentation surgery is a matter of great concern for every patient. The surgical results may not be as expected, and the breast shape may be uneven and asymmetric. This is usually related to individual differences before surgery, surgical methods, postoperative care, etc.
After surgery, patients also need to pay attention to the stability of the postoperative results. The life span of breast prosthesis is limited, usually about 10-15 years. After the life span, regular inspection is required and breast prosthesis may need to be replaced.
In order to avoid the problem of postoperative effect, it is better to choose a regular hospital and an experienced doctor for surgery. When choosing the operation mode, patients should also fully communicate with doctors to understand the indications, operation scheme, possible risks and complications of the operation, and make wise decisions.
Operation expenses
The cost of breast augmentation surgery is usually high, including surgery costs, medical supplies costs and postoperative care costs. The specific amount of surgical expenses will be affected by many factors, such as the patient's region, the level of the hospital, the doctor's experience, and so on.
When choosing surgery, patients should not only consider the cost of surgery itself, but also consider the quality and safety of surgery. There may be risks in terms of operation quality, hospital facilities, doctor skills, etc. when choosing a lower price operation. Therefore, patients should not only take price as the only reference factor when choosing surgery hospitals.
In addition, patients should also fully understand the refund policy of the hospital when consulting about the operation costs, so as to avoid problems that cannot be properly solved after the operation.
Precautions during recovery
The recovery period is a very important stage in breast augmentation surgery, and patients need to follow the doctor's recommendations for nursing. In a few weeks after the operation, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise, gravity traction, and the use of too tight underwear. This can reduce breast displacement, wound dehiscence and other problems.
At the same time, patients should also pay attention to diet adjustment during recovery, maintain balanced nutrition, and avoid taking large quantities of foods with high fat and sugar content, so as not to affect the postoperative effect.
In addition, the patient also needs to have a follow-up visit on time so that doctors can find and deal with any abnormalities in a timely manner. Regular breast examinations are also important to ensure postoperative health.
Summary
Although breast augmentation surgery has certain risks, under the guidance of doctors and careful selection of patients, satisfactory results can be achieved. Patients should understand the risks of surgery and choose a regular hospital and experienced doctors for surgery. After surgery, patients should follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to postoperative care to reduce complications and improve the stability of the surgical effect.
