Implant complications are one potential risk associated with breast augmentation. After breast augmentation, infections and stretch marks may occur. Breast implants can become painful and hard over time. These implants may need to be replaced or removed. Other risks are that breast implants may change over time as people age, or go through pregnancy or menopause. Mammograms may also be affected if you have breast implants, making detection of breast cancer more difficult.
Fat transfer for breast-augmentation
You should be aware of the risks involved in fat transfer for breast enhancement before you undergo it. Induce breast cancer in women with high-risk skin is more likely with fat grafts. Fat grafts have the potential to increase breast cancer-prone tissue growth. You should discuss the risks with your plastic surgery before you proceed with the procedure. Fat graft will not work in all cases and there are risks.
Malposition of implants
Even though a malposition of an implant may not be the reason for unsatisfactory results, it could lead to revision surgery. If the implant doesn't fit in her breast pocket properly, this is a common problem. During the procedure, your surgeon may place the implant higher than it should be. This could eventually cause an upper bulge, or a nipple tilt.
Infections
Breast augmentation can cause infections, but they are very rare. About one in 10 patients will have an infection. Breast augmentation surgery is usually followed by symptoms of infection. 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
One side effect of breast augmentation that is common is stretch marks. These are tiny tears in the dermis that can cause discomfort and lower self-esteem. They come in a variety of colors, including purple and red. Many stretch marks develop during pregnancy and weight gain. Some women are more likely to get them because of their 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 death rate following a rupture of a breast implant is higher than the overall mortality rate of women. This is a result of an increased risk of suicide in women who had breast implants. Many researchers believe that breast implants may be linked to suicide risk. While the rate of suicide among breast implant wearers is higher than that of women who did not undergo breast implants, the researchers do not know why.
Revision surgery
Revision surgery for breast augmentation can have some risks. You should discuss any concerns with your surgeon before the procedure. Swelling of the breasts may occur after the procedure, but the skin will return to normal soon. It is possible to feel some numbness around the breasts. After a few days, the numbness will go away. The swelling will eventually subside and your breasts will appear unsymmetrical.
