Risks To Consider Before Saying Yes
To Breast Augmentation Surgery

Introduction

• The size and shape of women's breasts are issues
  for a large portion of the female population.
  Breast augmentation procedures have made them
  less dissatisfied because they enable them to get
  the breast size and shape they want. Even though
  the surgical correction is becoming more and more
  popular around the world, the risks of breast
  augmentation are significant. Therefore, take
  these points into account before having your
  breast enhancement surgery. We will talk about
  the adverse effects of breast surgery in this
  blog post and how to reduce them. Before you put
  your name on the consent form for your breast
  surgery, give them careful thought.

What are the different types of breast
augmentation surgeries?

• Breast augmentation can be done by either of the
  two methods 
• Inserting breast implants
• Injecting fat from ones body to their breast or
  breasts
• Despite the choice of option, the aim of breast
  augmentation surgery is the same. It increases
  the dimensions of the breast or breasts to make
  them visually more appealing. In some cases, it
  helps provide symmetry to both breasts. Overall,
  it contours the shape of the breasts for a more
  aesthetic appearance.

• Risks associated with implants
• Aggressive scar formation around the implant
  causing hardening and or puckering of the breast
• Rotation of the implant due to its improper
  placement within the breast
• Rupture of the implant causes leakage of its
  contents within the breast (it may lead to an
  infection if quick intervention is not done)
• Hard lumps due to leakage of silicone implants
• Swelling of nearby lymph nodes
• Allergic reaction to the implant
• In some cases, it may interfere with milk
  production and breastfeeding
• Increased risk of cancers like Breast
  Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
  (BIA-ALCL) or BIA Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  (BIA-SCC)

Can your body reject breast implants?

• This is a common question women ask us. Breast
  implants are sterile and neutral prostheses.
  Hence, the body does not reject a breast implant.
  However, a breast implant is a foreign body.
  Therefore, it can trigger an immune reaction
  within the body. This is a natural phenomenon and
  it is important. The immune response forms scar
  tissue around the breast implant. As a result,
  the implant is isolated and remains secure. The
  chances of rotation reduce. 
• But if the immune reaction aggravates (due to any
  cause), it leads to excess scar tissue. This is
  the cause of the hardening and wrinkling of the
  breast tissue surrounding the implant. In medical
  terminology, this condition is known as capsular
  contracture.

How to minimize the risks of breast augmentation
surgery?

• In this blog, we will discuss in detail the ways
  by which you can reduce the risks that come with
  breast augmentation surgery. Before that, you
  should know that the chances of these
  complications are 1-6. However, these simple
  tips will help you reduce the chance to almost
  negligible. 
• 1. Choice of implant
• Both saline and silicone implants are the most
  popular and effective. But just in case the
  implant deflates and ruptures, the leaked saline
  solution will pose no threat. However, silicone
  gel deposition will form lumps and can trigger
  allergic reactions. Textured implants have a
  higher risk of capsular contracture. 
• Ensure that your breast implant is of standard
  quality and dermatologically tested. Read the
  label carefully before you head into the
  operating room.

• 2. Choice of the clinic
• This is a very important factor to consider.
  Patients are often lured toward clinics offering
  cheap breast augmentation procedures. But this
  means an increased chance of infection, incorrect
  procedure, and even life-threatening outcomes. 
• 3. Choice of surgeon 
• You should only trust the expertise of a seasoned
  and highly-qualified breast surgeon for your
  breast surgery. Dr. V. S. Rathore is the best
  breast surgeon in Kolkata with two decades of
  experience.
• 4. Aftercare
• Proper aftercare as per the surgeons
  instructions will also help reduce the chances of
  risks of breast augmentation significantly. Take
  complete rest for at least a week after your
  surgery. Avoid strenuous physical activities for
  up to a month. Drink plenty of water. Maintain
  good hygiene. Regular dressing of the surgical
  wound is a must to prevent any infection.

• 5. Regular check-ups
• The FDA has revised its guidelines for breast
  surgery follow-ups. Go for regular check-ups once
  every 4 years for the first time, and once every
  2 years after that. A mammogram during every
  check-up is mandatory. Early detection of an
  implant rupture or even BIA-ALCL or BIA-SCC is
  crucial. If detected at an early stage, removal
  and or replacement of the implant can prevent any
  infection or cancer cells from spreading over the
  body. 
• 6. Replace implants after the stipulated time
• Breast implants are not permanent. They can last
  anywhere between 10-15 years. It is important to
  replace them with new implants after the expiry
  date mentioned on the label. This helps prevent
  any severe complications. The longer a breast
  implant stays in your body, the higher the risk
  of health hazards.
