Risk and complications of thoracic plastic surgery
Chest plastic surgery is a plastic surgery method that many people choose to improve their appearance. However, like any other surgery, chest plastic surgery also has certain risks and complications. It is important to understand these risks and complications before choosing this procedure.

A major risk of thoracic plastic surgery is infection. After surgery, because the wound needs a period of time to heal, the risk of infection is relatively high during this period. Infection may lead to fever, redness, swelling, local pain and other symptoms. In serious cases, relevant treatment may be required, or even repair surgery may be required to eliminate the infection. In order to reduce the risk of infection, it is important to follow the doctor's advice and properly care for the wound after surgery.
In addition, the risk of infection is related to the choice of breast augmentation materials. Different materials have different infection risks. For example, silicone breast augmentation materials have higher infection risks than normal saline breast augmentation materials.

After surgery, the chest tissue takes time to heal, and may produce bleeding and blood accumulation around the incision. This can lead to pain, swelling and formation of purplish red ecchymosis. Follow your doctor's advice, avoid heavy activity and use ice packs to reduce the risk of bleeding and hematoma.
3. Excessive scar
Chest plastic surgery may lead to scar formation, especially for breast augmentation surgery requiring incision. Everyone has different ways of scar healing.
