Implant complications is one of the biggest risks in breast augmentation. Infections and stretch marks can occur after breast augmentation. Breast implants can become hardened and painful over time. It may be necessary to have them removed or replaced. There are also risks that breast implants could change as people age or go through pregnancy and menopause. Your mammogram may be affected by breast implants. This could make detection of breast cancer harder.
Breast augmentation with fat transfer
You need to be informed about the risks of breast augmentation surgery using fat transfer. Fat grafts are more likely to induce breast cancer in susceptible women. Because fat grafts may cause the growth of breast-cancer-prone cells. Before you decide to have the procedure performed, discuss the risks with your surgeon. A fat graft procedure will not guarantee success in all cases, and there are risks associated with every surgical procedure.
Implants placed incorrectly
Even though a malposition of an implant may not be the reason for unsatisfactory results, it could lead to revision surgery. If the implant doesn't fit in her breast pocket properly, this is a common problem. The implant may be placed higher than it should during surgery. This could eventually cause an upper bulge, or a nipple tilt.
Infections
Infections associated with breast augmentation are not uncommon, although the majority of these infections are rare. About one in 10 patients will have an infection. Infection symptoms usually develop within two weeks of breast augmentation surgery. Redness and heat are some of the symptoms. In some cases, surgeons will start antibiotic therapy if these symptoms are present, even if no germs have been identified.
Stretch marks
One of the side effects of breast implants is stretch marks. These are tiny tears in the dermis that can cause discomfort and lower self-esteem. They can range in color from purple to red and can also be found in flesh tones. Most women develop stretch marks during pregnancy or weight gain, and they may be more susceptible to them due to genetics. Here are some tips to help prevent stretch marks from developing after breast augmentation.
Death rates due to rupture
The rate of death following the rupture of breast implants is much higher than that of women overall. This is due to a higher suicide risk in breast implant-bearing women. Numerous researchers suggest a link between breast implants and suicide risk. Researchers aren't sure why breast implant wearers have a higher suicide rate than women who didn't get breast implants.
Revision surgery
There are some risks associated with breast augmentation revision surgery. Talk to your surgeon about any concerns you have before proceeding with the procedure. Swelling of the breasts may occur after the procedure, but the skin will return to normal soon. Some breasts may feel numb. This will disappear after about a week or two. You will notice asymmetry in your breasts until the swelling goes down.
