Implant complications are one risk of breast augmentation. Infections and stretch marks can occur after breast augmentation. Breast implants can become painful and hard over time. This may require them to be replaced or removed. Breast implants can also change with age or through menopause or pregnancy. Also, breast implants may affect mammograms and make it harder for breast cancer detection.
Fat transfer for breast augmentation
You should be aware of the risks involved in fat transfer for breast enhancement before you undergo it. Predisposed women are more likely be diagnosed with breast cancer by fat grafts. This is because fat grafts can induce growth of breast cancer-prone cells. Before you make the decision to proceed with the procedure, it is important that you discuss all risks with your surgeon. A fat graft procedure will not guarantee success in all cases, and there are risks associated with every surgical procedure.
Malposition of implants
Although a misaligned implant may not cause unsatisfactory results in a woman, it can lead to revision surgery. If the implant does not fit into her breast pocket correctly, 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
Infections associated with breast augmentation are not uncommon, although the majority of these infections are rare. An infection will affect approximately one in 10 patients. Symptoms of infection usually appear within the first two weeks following breast augmentation surgery. The signs of infection may include redness, heat, and erythema. In some cases, the presence of these symptoms will prompt surgeons to start antibiotic therapy, even if no germs were identified.
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 come in a variety of colors, including purple and red. 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 rate after rupture
The death rate from a breast implant rupture is greater than the overall women's mortality rate. This is due to a higher suicide risk in breast implant-bearing women. Researchers have suggested a possible link between suicide risk and breast implants. Researchers do not know why breast implant wearers commit suicide at higher rates than women who have not had breast implants.
Revision surgery
There are risks involved in breast augmentation revision. Talk to your surgeon about any concerns you have before proceeding with the procedure. The breasts may experience swelling after the procedure. However, the skin should return to normal within a few days. It is possible to feel some numbness around the breasts. This should go away in about a week. The swelling will eventually subside and your breasts will appear unsymmetrical.
