Implant complications are one of the most common risks associated with breast augmentation. Breast augmentation can cause infection or stretch marks. Breast implants can become hardened and painful over time. These may need to either be removed or replaced. Breast implants can also be affected by changes in hormone levels, pregnancy, and menopause. Your mammogram may be affected by breast implants. This could make detection of breast cancer harder.
Fat transfer for breast augmentation
You need to be informed about the risks of breast augmentation surgery using fat transfer. Women who are susceptible to breast cancer will be more likely than others to develop breast cancer from fat grafts. Fat grafts are known to cause breast cancer-prone cell growth. You should discuss the risks with your plastic surgery before you proceed with the procedure. A fat graft procedure will not guarantee success in all cases, and there are risks associated with every surgical procedure.
Implants that are not properly placed
Even though a malposition of an implant may not be the reason for unsatisfactory results, it could lead to revision surgery. If the implant is not properly positioned in the breast pocket, this is a common problem. The surgeon might place an implant higher than is necessary during the procedure. Eventually, this will cause an upper bulge and nipple tilt.
Infections
Breast augmentation can cause infections, but they are very rare. An infection can occur in approximately 10% of patients. Breast augmentation surgery is usually followed by symptoms of infection. Redness, heat and erythema are all signs of infection. These symptoms may be enough to prompt surgeons, even if the germs are not identified, to begin antibiotic therapy.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks are a common side effect of breast enhancement. These are small tears in one's dermis which can cause discomfort or lower self-esteem. They can range in color from purple to red and can also be found in flesh tones. Stretch marks are common in women who have gained weight or become pregnant. They may also be more likely to develop them as a result of genetics. Listed below are some ways to prevent stretch marks after breast augmentation and help you feel more confident in your new, improved body.
Death rate after rupture
The death rate from a breast implant rupture is greater than the overall women's mortality rate. Breast implants have a higher rate of suicide among women. Many researchers believe that breast implants may be linked to suicide risk. Researchers don't know why breast implant-wearers are more likely than non-breast implanted women to commit suicide, but they do note that the rate is higher among breast implant users.
Revision surgery
Revision surgery for breast augmentation can have some risks. You should discuss any concerns with your surgeon before the procedure. Some swelling may occur in the breasts after the procedure. But, your skin will soon return back to normal. Some breasts may feel numb. The numbness should disappear in a week. Your breasts will appear symmetrical until the swelling subsides.
