Is there any risk associated with minimally invasive breast surgery?

Generally, minimally invasive breast surgery involves certain risks. A detailed analysis is as follows:

The surgical procedure itself is technically challenging. If the surgeon lacks sufficient experience or technical proficiency, the surgery may fail, necessitating repeat surgery or alternative treatments. Postoperative complications such as bleeding and infection may also occur. Although minimally invasive surgery typically involves less blood loss, severe bleeding can lead to various complications and even endanger the patient's life. Inadequate postoperative care or ineffective infection control may result in localized or systemic infections. It is recommended to choose an experienced surgeon and a reputable medical facility for the procedure, and to strictly follow postoperative care instructions, which can significantly reduce the associated risks. Therefore, patients should fully understand the potential risks of surgery before undergoing the procedure and make informed decisions under the guidance of a physician.

After surgery, it is important to regularly change wound dressings to keep the surgical site clean and dry, avoid infection, refrain from wearing tight-fitting clothing, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, all of which can help promote wound healing.
