One of the risks of breast augmentation is implant complication. After breast augmentation, infections and stretch marks may occur. Breast implants can become painful and hard over time. It may be necessary to have them removed or replaced. Other risks are that breast implants may change over time as people age, or go through pregnancy or menopause. Breast implants can also affect mammograms, making it more difficult to detect breast cancer.
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. This is due to the possibility of fat grafts causing breast cancer-prone growth. Therefore, you should discuss these risks with your plastic surgeon before you decide to go ahead with the procedure. Fat graft will not work in all cases and there are risks.
Implants can be misplaced
Even though a malposition of an implant may not be the reason for unsatisfactory results, it could lead to revision surgery. The implant may not fit properly in the breast pocket. Your surgeon may place your implant higher than necessary during surgery. This will eventually lead to an upper bulge or nipple tilt.
Infections
Infections associated with breast augmentation are not uncommon, although the majority of these infections are rare. About one in 10 patients will have an infection. An infection is most common within the first two weeks after breast augmentation. Redness and heat are some of the symptoms. Sometimes, these symptoms can prompt surgeons to initiate antibiotic therapy even if there is no evidence of germs.
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 range in color from red to purple, and they can also appear in flesh tones on the skin. Stretch marks are common in women who have gained weight or become pregnant. They may also be more likely to develop them as a result of genetics. Listed below are some ways to prevent stretch marks after breast augmentation and help you feel more confident in your new, improved body.
Rate of death from rupture
The rate of death following the rupture of breast implants is much higher than that of women overall. This is because breast implants can increase the risk of suicide. Researchers have suggested a possible link between suicide risk and breast implants. Researchers don't know why breast implant-wearers are more likely than non-breast implanted women to commit suicide, but they do note that the rate is higher among breast implant users.
Revision surgery
Revision surgery for breast augmentation can have some risks. 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. It is possible to feel some numbness around the breasts. The numbness should disappear in a week. You will notice asymmetry in your breasts until the swelling goes down.
