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. They may need to be removed or replaced. Another risk is that breast implants can become softer or more flexible as women age, go through pregnancy, menopause, or go through other life events. Your mammogram may be affected by breast implants. This could make detection of breast cancer harder.
Fat transfer for breast augmentation
Be aware of the risks and benefits of fat transfer before you decide to have breast augmentation. Women who are susceptible to breast cancer will be more likely than others to develop breast cancer from fat grafts. This is due to the possibility of fat grafts causing breast cancer-prone growth. 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.
Implants can be misplaced
Malposition of the implant is not always the problem. However, it may lead to unsatisfactory results and require revision surgery. If the implant does not fit into her breast pocket correctly, this is a common problem. Your surgeon may place your implant higher than necessary during surgery. This could eventually cause an upper bulge, or a nipple tilt.
Infections
Breast augmentation can cause infections, but they are very rare. Approximately one in 10 patients will experience an infection. Infection symptoms usually develop within two weeks of breast augmentation surgery. Redness and heat are some of the symptoms. These symptoms may prompt surgeons in some cases to prescribe antibiotic therapy, even though no germs were found.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks are one of the most common side effects of breast-augmentation. These are tiny tears in the dermis that can cause discomfort and lower self-esteem. They can appear in any color you like, including red and purple. Many stretch marks develop during pregnancy and weight gain. Some women are more likely to get them because of their genetics. Below are some methods to prevent stretchmarks after breast augmentation.
Rate of death from rupture
The rate of death following the rupture of breast implants is much higher than that of women overall. Breast implants have a higher rate of suicide among women. Multiple researchers have linked suicide risk to breast implants. Researchers aren't sure why breast implant wearers have a higher suicide rate than women who didn't get breast implants.
Revision surgery
Revision surgery for breast augmentation can have some risks. Talk to your surgeon about any concerns you have before proceeding with the procedure. Swelling of the breasts may occur after the procedure, but the skin will return to normal soon. There may be some swelling in the breasts. It will usually disappear within a week to two weeks. Until the swelling subsides, breasts may appear asymmetrical.
