What Are the Side Effects of Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Side Effects of Breast Augmentation Surgery

What are they?

Breasts are an important part of the body that helps define a woman’s body line.

That is because the body line can change depending on the size and shape of the breasts, and so can the fit of clothing.

However, because breasts are a genetically determined part of the body, they are generally not something that can be improved through exercise or dieting.

Therefore, if you want to improve the size and shape of your breasts, the one available option is breast surgery.

There are various types of breast surgery, but since many women mainly want to improve size, those who undergo breast implant surgery make up the majority.

Although breast surgery continues to grow in popularity, since it is a procedure in which an implant is inserted into the body, the possibility of side effects cannot be ruled out.

So today, let’s look at what side effects of breast augmentation surgery may occur and how to respond afterward.

Breast Surgery Side Effect 01 Bleeding

Breast surgery requires dissection in order to insert the implant.

Even if bleeding is carefully controlled during this process, bleeding can still occur if the patient moves or if an unexpected impact is applied.

If the amount of bleeding is not large, it will be naturally absorbed, but if the amount is significant, it can lead to infection or capsular contracture, so appropriate measures must be taken.

If an unexpected impact has been applied, visit the hospital so that the stitches at the incision site can be removed, bleeding can be controlled, and any pooled blood can be thoroughly cleaned to help prevent additional complications.

Breast Surgery Side Effect 02 Inflammation

If symptoms such as fever, swelling, pain, and redness continue after surgery, it may be due to inflammation.

If these symptoms are localized and do not appear severe, the issue can be resolved by taking antibiotics and opening and disinfecting the surgical site, but if the inflammation is severe, implant removal and a second surgery must be planned.

For prevention, the patient’s own efforts are also important.

For about one month after surgery, it is necessary to be careful by avoiding alcohol and smoking and by taking the prescribed medication without fail.

Breast Surgery Side Effect 03 Capsular Contracture

Capsular contracture, in which a thick capsule forms around the implant after breast surgery, can occur due to hematoma, inflammation, infection, or inappropriate dissection of the breast pocket.

It may cause a hard feeling along with pain.

Because this side effect can occur during the process of capsule formation after surgery, you should wear a bra after surgery and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.

Also, if any discomfort appears, visit the hospital where the surgery was performed right away and take appropriate measures.

If it is an early stage, medication can be used to suppress inflammation and reduce capsule thickness, and if the symptoms are severe, implant removal followed by reinsertion is necessary.

Breast Surgery Side Effect 04 Bottoming Out

Bottoming out refers to a phenomenon in which the implant descends below the inframammary fold that was established during surgery.

This can occur about 3 to 6 months after surgery.

If, when looking in the mirror, the nipples are not facing forward but instead point upward, bottoming out may be suspected.

This phenomenon is more likely to occur if the lower part of the breast pocket is excessively dissected during surgery, and it can also happen if the bra is not worn properly after surgery or if it is worn incorrectly.

Therefore, until the breast stabilizes after surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to bra wear as instructed by the hospital, and if bottoming out has already occurred, surgery is required.

The implant position can be corrected by tightening the inner pocket or by creating a new breast pocket and reinserting the implant.

So far, we have looked at the side effects of breast augmentation surgery that can appear after the procedure.

The most important factor in preventing side effects is, of course, the skill of the surgeon performing the operation.

Some side effects occur because the patient did not manage recovery properly, but there are also cases in which side effects arise due to the surgeon’s poor judgment, such as using implants that do not suit the individual or performing dissection that is too little or too much.

Therefore, before surgery, it is wise to carefully review the surgeon’s experience and surgical reviews before making a choice.

In addition, since regular follow-up checks and systematic aftercare are necessary to achieve stable and satisfying results after surgery, please also carefully consider these aspects.
