One of the risks of breast augmentation is implant complication. Breast augmentation can cause infection or stretch marks. Breast implants can become hardened and painful over time. It may be necessary to have them removed or replaced. Breast implants can also change with age or through menopause or pregnancy. Mammograms may also be affected if you have breast implants, making detection of breast cancer more difficult.
Breast augmentation with fat transfer
Before you consider fat transfer to breast augmentation, it is important to understand the risks. Fat grafts are more likely to induce breast cancer in susceptible women. Fat grafts have the potential to increase breast cancer-prone tissue growth. Before you decide to have the procedure performed, discuss the risks with your surgeon. Fat graft procedures are not always successful. Every surgical procedure has risks.
Malposition of implants
A malposition of an implant might not cause unsatisfactory results for a woman, but it could still lead to her needing 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. This will eventually lead to an upper bulge or nipple tilt.
Infections
Although breast augmentation is not a common procedure, infections can occur. Approximately one in 10 patients will experience an infection. Infection symptoms usually develop within two weeks of breast augmentation surgery. Redness, heat and erythema are all signs of infection. Sometimes, these symptoms can prompt surgeons to initiate antibiotic therapy even if there is no evidence of germs.
Stretch marks
One of the common side effects of breast augmentation is stretch marks. These are small tears in the dermis, which can cause discomfort and reduced 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. These are some of the ways you can avoid stretch marks after breast-augmentation. They will also help you feel confident in your new body.
Death rates due to rupture
The rate of death following the rupture of breast implants is much higher than that of women overall. Breast implants have a higher rate of suicide among women. Many researchers believe that breast implants may be linked to suicide risk. Although breast implant users are more likely to commit suicide than those who don't, researchers have not yet determined why.
Revision surgery
Revision breast augmentation surgery can be dangerous. Before you undergo the procedure, it is important to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Although swelling may occur, it is likely that the skin will soon return its normal color. You may experience some numbness in the breasts. After a few days, the numbness will go away. Until the swelling subsides, breasts may appear asymmetrical.
