What are the dangers of breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery method chosen by many women, mainly because having a fuller cleavage can increase women's self-confidence and enhance their charm, so many women will use breast augmentation surgery to enlarge their breasts. The size of a woman's breasts is related to genetic factors and acquired maintenance. Acquired diet and choice of underwear are factors that affect breast development. Breast augmentation surgery can bring many harms, so you can learn about it.

Are there any risks of breast augmentation?

1. Breast deformation

After breast augmentation surgery, the softness and hardness of the breasts and the shape of the breasts may change due to leakage of the implant material. Due to the leakage of breast implants and their direct contact with body tissues, although there is no concern about causing cancer, a significant foreign body reaction may occur, manifested as local hardening and may be accompanied by deformation (such as a decrease in breast diameter).

2. Unnatural feel

Women's breasts are soft, but after breast augmentation with implants, they will become a little hard. If you touch the breasts with your hands, you will clearly feel the unnaturalness of the breasts.

3. The nipples become insensitive

Girls who have breast augmentation surgery with implants may experience breast stiffness, pain, and displacement of the filler due to rupture, leakage, shrinkage of the implant, or infection of the wound. These can cause their nipples to become insensitive or extremely sensitive.

4. Numbness in the wound

Since breast augmentation with implants does not require a small incision to be made in the body to place the implant in the chest, it is easy for the wound to become numb, the incision to bleed, or calcium deposits to form around the filler after the implant.

5. Hematoma

Hematoma is very easy to occur after breast augmentation with implants. This is because when the plastic surgeon fills the breast with implants, the implants damage the capillaries of the pectoralis major muscle, causing hematoma.

Which women are not suitable for breast augmentation:

1. Patients with inflammation of breast tissue and areas near surgical incision, or those with infection in other parts of the body.

2. Those with abnormal lumps in the breast or enlarged axillary lymph nodes.

3. People with immune system or hematopoietic system diseases, scar constitution or allergic constitution.

4. Pregnant, lactating and underage women.

5. Patients with obvious sagging breasts should undergo breast ptosis correction surgery due to loose skin.

6. Patients who are not mentally prepared or have unrealistic demands.

Breast augmentation has risks, so you should think carefully before doing it. Not all women are suitable for it.
