Common risks of male breast augmentation surgery

The male breast augmentation surgery is a surgical operation, which aims to improve the shape of the male chest and increase the fullness of the chest by implanting a prosthesis. Although this operation can help some men gain self-confidence and satisfactory appearance, there are also some potential risks and side effects.

1. Risk of infection

During the operation, no matter how careful and sanitary, there is a risk of infection. Once infection occurs, the patient may experience symptoms such as fever, pain, redness, swelling and exudation. Severe infection may even lead to the removal of the prosthesis.

Measures to avoid infection include selecting a formal and qualified hospital for operation, ensuring the cleanliness of the operating room and instruments, and carrying out postoperative wound care according to the doctor's recommendations.

2. Scar formation

After surgery, some patients may have excessive scar formation. This is usually due to factors such as personal healing ability, surgical techniques and postoperative care.

After the operation, the wound care should be carried out according to the doctor's recommendations to avoid friction, tearing, etc. of the wound, which will help reduce the risk of scar formation. If excessive scar formation has occurred, consider using scar care products or undergoing scar repair surgery.

3. Abnormal feeling

Because the peripheral nerves may be injured during the operation, some patients may have abnormal sensation. This may include numbness, tingling, allergies and other symptoms. These symptoms are usually temporary, but may persist in very few cases.

If abnormal sensation affects daily life, the patient can consult the doctor for possible treatment methods and suggestions, such as physical therapy, drug therapy or nerve repair surgery.

4. Prosthesis complications

The prosthesis used in breast augmentation surgery may have some complications. For example, the prosthesis ruptures, leaks, or reacts inappropriately with body tissues. These conditions may lead to chest discomfort, morphological changes, prosthesis displacement and other problems.

When selecting prostheses, patients should consider the doctor's suggestions and select reliable and standard prostheses. At the same time, following the doctor's postoperative nursing advice and conducting regular health examinations can help identify and deal with prosthesis related problems.

summary

Breast augmentation surgery for men is a method that can improve appearance, but it also has some risks. Infection, scar formation, paresthesia and prosthesis complications are common surgical risks. In order to reduce the risk, patients should choose a regular hospital, follow the doctor's recommendations for preoperative and postoperative care, and keep close communication with the doctor.
