Risk and complications of plastic and breast augmentation surgery

Plastic breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can change the shape and size of the breast by implanting plant or artificial materials to achieve the goal of female beauty. However, like any operation, plastic and breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks and possible complications.

Risk of surgical infection

Surgical infection is one of the common complications in plastic surgery. Although aseptic operation is strictly followed during the operation, the risk of infection is increased due to factors such as exposure of surgical site, tissue incision and implant insertion. Infection may cause breast swelling, redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms, and even require surgery to remove implants in serious cases.

In order to reduce the risk of infection, patients should carry out necessary examinations before surgery, and follow the operating specifications of preoperative bathing, intraoperative disinfection and postoperative wound care. In addition, the selection of standard hospitals and experienced doctors is also an important factor to avoid infection.

Implant related complications

There are two kinds of implants commonly used in plastic and breast augmentation surgery, one is saline bag, the other is silicone bag. No matter which implant, there is a certain risk of complications.

The saline bag may have problems such as water leakage and rupture after implantation, resulting in breast asymmetry, abnormal sensation and other symptoms. The silica gel bag may have colloid migration, colloid liquefaction and other phenomena, leading to breast deformation and even the diffusion of silica gel particles to other parts.

In order to reduce the risk of implant related complications, doctors should recommend suitable implant types and sizes according to the needs and physical conditions of patients. Patients also need to be reviewed and monitored regularly after surgery to find and solve implant problems in a timely manner.

Postoperative scar and breast sensation change

In plastic and breast augmentation surgery, because of the need for breast tissue incision and remodeling, the surgical area may leave scars. Although doctors will try their best to reduce scar formation, genetic factors, individual differences and other factors still have certain risks.

In addition, nerve and blood vessel injuries during surgery may lead to changes in breast sensation, including touch and temperature perception. Most of these changes are temporary, but some patients may experience breast numbness or allergy for a long time.

Summary

Although plastic and breast augmentation surgery has certain risks and complications, it can effectively reduce risks under the guidance of regular hospitals and experienced doctors, and follow the operating specifications before and after surgery. Before deciding to perform plastic and breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and possible complications of surgery, and conduct adequate preoperative consultation and examination.

Surgical infection, implant related complications, scar and breast sensation change are common risks and complications in plastic and breast augmentation surgery. Although the incidence of these complications is low, patients still need to conduct risk assessment before surgery, fully communicate with doctors, and choose their own surgical methods and implant types.
