What are the Risks of Breast Enlargement Surgery?

Some women choose to have breasts enlargement surgery for many different reasons. One of which is to have the idea body, which includes having large firm breasts instead of small ones. Before any woman makes this decision, there are several things that they should be aware of prior to using this method of breast enlargement as a possible solution.

Listed below are some common risks factors that women should review and evaluate closely before they choose breast enlargement surgery.

People have surgery everyday for all kinds of reasons. Most surgeries involve a wide range of different severe medical problems. From correcting a life-threatening heart problem to removing painful aggravations in the body, most people do not choose to have surgery, the need for surgery chooses them. With breasts enlargement surgery this is not true, this type of surgery is completely by choice instead of a life saving option. Therefore, for those who are looking at this option as a way to look better, it is important that they know about all of the risks involved.

Anesthesia


Even though most health professionals will tell their patients the risks of having medical problems is low, problems do occur. Some patients have a bad reaction to anesthesia and it has caused other medical conditions. In fact, before an anesthesia performs this procedure, their job is to gather the medical history of their patients to ensure no one in the family has had a bad reaction in the past. This information is considered as a major factor before the anesthesia can be administered.

The patient is also instructed to stop eating, specifically the night before the medical procedure is performed. These instructions must be followed as recommended to prevent complications like aspiration pneumonia, which is caused by food backing up in the lungs. This food can prevent the person from breathing.

As stated above, the risks for this procedure is relatively low. However, if the inevitable does occur, the results could be fatal.

Infection


Infection is another risk that comes with breast enlargement surgeries. If women have these problems, they normally occur within the first two months. To correct this condition, the physician may recommend removing the infected implant from the woman’s breasts. Which means, the patient may end up with only one implant and uneven breasts. It is also important to note, this problem cannot be corrected for at least 6 months (i.e. recommended waiting period for having another surgery).

Rupture


After the implant surgery is complete, the implants can rupture. In the 1990′s, these incidents were reported as a huge problem, specifically for women who had the silicon implants. When the silicon implants ruptured, they leaked into the body and caused inflammation.

Today, these problems have been addressed with implants that have thicker shells and saline content. When means, rupture and inflammation concerns have been minimized, but they still exists in another form. Therefore, it is important for women to make informed decision.

Capsular Contracture


The potential for severe pain and fake looking breasts is also a risk for women who want to have the surgery done. If there is going to be a problem, it normally happens immediately after the scar tissue forms around the implant. If the surgeon has used the silicon implants instead of the saline implants, there is a higher risk for capsular contracture. To correct these medical concerns, the implant will have to be removed via another surgical procedure.

HematomaInfections, capsular contracture, ruptures, hematomas are all possibilities. However, one of the most severe and life threatening is the hematomas. Hematomas can be described as blood clots that form in the body after the breast implant surgery. These problems also appear several weeks after the breast enlargement surgery. With hematomas, there is an increase risks of infections and surgery is also needed to correct this medical condition.

Rippling


Even though harmless, rippling is also a risk that can occur after the woman has had breast enlargement surgery. However, many women fear this condition most because the waviness and wrinkles the skin is normally unsightly. This occurs when the saline or the silicone in the implants shift.

Most people around the woman will not notice these problems, unless they are wearing a bathing suit that has the lower-cut tops. In these cases, the nipples can be exposed for anyone around them to see. However, most physicians seek to reduce the risks of rippling in advance by smoothing the implants out and placing them under the muscle during the surgical procedure.
