What are the risks of breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can help women improve breast shape and size, and enhance self-confidence. Although breast augmentation surgery has become more and more technically mature, there are still some risks and side effects that need to be fully understood and considered by patients before they decide to accept surgery. The risks of breast augmentation surgery will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Operation risk
Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical operation, so there must be operational risks. Complications such as infection, hemorrhage and hematoma may occur during the operation. Although the incidence of these complications is low, patients still need to be prepared. In addition, surgery may also cause temporary or permanent breast tissue damage, such as abnormal sensation or change of areola position.
In order to reduce the risk of surgery, patients should choose plastic surgeons with rich experience and good reputation when choosing surgery hospitals and doctors, and carry out full preoperative preparation and postoperative care.
2. Anesthesia risk
Breast augmentation surgery usually requires general anesthesia, so there are also anesthesia risks. Although anesthesia technology has been very advanced, individual differences still exist, and some patients may have adverse reactions to narcotic drugs. Common anesthesia complications include nausea, vomiting, hypotension and arrhythmia.
In order to reduce the risk of anesthesia, patients should conduct a detailed anesthesia assessment before surgery, provide doctors with accurate personal health history and allergy history, and follow the doctor's anesthesia recommendations.
3. Postoperative complications
Some postoperative complications may occur after breast augmentation surgery, such as infection, hydrops, fibrous capsule formation, etc. Infection is the most common complication and may require antibiotic treatment or reoperation. Fibrous capsule formation refers to the formation of prolapse scar around the breast that compresses the breast implant. In serious cases, the breast implant may need to be replaced.
In order to prevent postoperative complications, patients need to comply with the doctor's perioperative nursing requirements and communicate with the doctor in a timely manner about any discomfort.
4. Hospital safety
Safety is a very important consideration when choosing a hospital for breast augmentation surgery. Choosing a formal and qualified hospital can greatly reduce the risk of surgery. For example, the plastic surgery department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a hospital with a good reputation, and has rich clinical experience and expertise in the field of plastic surgery.
In addition, patients should also consider selecting experienced doctors for surgery, because doctors' technical level and clinical experience also have a great impact on the surgical results and the incidence of postoperative complications.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery can improve breast shape and size and enhance women's self-confidence, but it also has certain risks. Operation risk, anesthesia risk, postoperative complications and hospital safety are aspects that need patients to fully understand before deciding to accept surgery. In order to reduce the risk of surgery, patients should choose experienced doctors and regular hospitals, and carry out appropriate preparation and care before and after surgery.
