Common risks and complications of breast augmentation surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of cosmetic surgery. It can change the shape and size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis in the chest to help women obtain an ideal chest. Although this is a common operation, there are still some risks and complications in breast augmentation surgery. In Wuhan Tongji Hospital, doctors will inform patients of potential risks and complications in advance to ensure that patients make wise decisions.
1. Preoperative risk
1.1 Insufficient preoperative preparation
Preoperative preparation is very important. Without a complete understanding of the patient's health status, expectations and surgical restrictions, the risk of surgery may increase. Therefore, before breast augmentation surgery, doctors will fully communicate with patients, understand their physical conditions and expectations, and conduct comprehensive physical examination and assessment to ensure the safety of the surgery.
1.2 Preoperative blood examination abnormalities
Preoperative blood tests are essential to assess the patient's suitability for surgery. Some patients may have problems such as thrombocytopenia, abnormal coagulation function or infection, which may increase the risk of surgery. The doctor will decide whether to postpone the operation or take necessary treatment and preventive measures in advance according to the examination results.
1.3 Insufficient preoperative psychological preparation
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery with psychological pressure, and patients may be anxious, nervous and uneasy before surgery. If the preoperative psychological preparation is insufficient, there may be psychological problems during the operation, such as fear of surgery, dissatisfaction with postoperative body image, etc. Therefore, doctors will fully communicate with patients and provide psychological guidance to help them prepare for surgery.
2. Intraoperative risks
2.1 Intraoperative bleeding and hematoma
Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma are common complications in breast augmentation surgery. Due to the sensitive operation site, small blood vessels may break during the operation, leading to bleeding and hematoma formation. To reduce this risk, doctors will operate very carefully and take necessary hemostasis measures after the operation.
2.2 Intraoperative infection
Intraoperative infection is one of the possible risks in any operation, and breast augmentation surgery is no exception. Since the operation requires opening the skin and tissues, it may lead to bacterial infection. Doctors will reduce the risk of infection by using aseptic operation and using antibiotics during operation.
2.3 The position of prosthesis during operation is not ideal
In breast augmentation surgery, doctors need to implant the prosthesis into the chest tissue to achieve the desired effect. However, it is also possible that the prosthesis position is not ideal during the operation. After surgery, the prosthesis may be sagging, asymmetrical or deviated from the original expected position. Doctors will make corrections and adjustments according to the actual situation to achieve better results.
3. Postoperative risk
3.1 Postoperative bleeding and hematoma
Postoperative hemorrhage and hematoma are also common complications of breast augmentation surgery. Postoperative wounds may continue to bleed, and some patients may also have large areas of hematoma. The doctor will monitor and observe the patients to ensure that the postoperative bleeding and hematoma are treated in a timely manner.
3.2 Postoperative infection
Oral infection after augmentation surgery is also a common postoperative complication. Patients need to keep the surgical incision clean and dry to avoid bacterial infection. The doctor will provide postoperative nursing guidance to help patients prevent infection.
3.3 Postoperative scar
Since the operation requires incision, scars may be left after the operation. The formation of scars is related to individual differences, and some people may have obvious scars. The doctor will inform the patient of the possible scar condition before the operation, and provide necessary scar care suggestions and treatment methods.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, but there are still some risks and complications. In Wuhan Tongji Hospital, doctors will fully assess the patient's physical condition before surgery and provide necessary preparation and guidance. The surgeon will operate carefully to avoid the occurrence of intraoperative risks. After surgery, doctors will provide appropriate care and guidance to help patients reduce the occurrence of postoperative risks.
