Introduction
In general, breast augmentation with implants involves placing implants in the chest to increase breast volume and achieve a breast enhancement effect. The general reference price for breast augmentation with implants is 20,000-10,000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement is typically observed within 3-6 months. Side effects of breast augmentation with implants include infection, hematoma, implant displacement or exposure, capsular contracture, and sensory abnormalities.
Generally, breast augmentation with prosthesis involves implanting a prosthetic device into the chest to increase breast volume and achieve a breast enhancement effect. The general reference price for this procedure is 10,000-20,000 yuan per session, and visible improvement is usually observed within 3-6 months. Side effects of breast augmentation with prosthetic implants may include infection, hematoma and blood accumulation, implant displacement or exposure, capsule contracture, and sensory abnormalities. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Infection
If surgical sterilization is inadequate, local infection may occur, leading to symptoms such as redness, swelling, fever, and pain at the surgical site after the procedure.
2. Hematoma and Blood Accumulation
Improper surgical techniques may cause vascular injury or inadequate postoperative dressing, resulting in hematoma formation. Due to the significant surgical trauma, bleeding may occur and easily accumulate in the postoperative cavity.
3. Implant Displacement or Exposure
Implant displacement or exposure is usually associated with improper surgical techniques, excessive postoperative activity, or inappropriate massage. If this occurs, surgical revision or implant replacement may be necessary.
4. Capsular Contracture
After surgery, a fibrous capsule gradually forms around the implant. If stimulated, this capsule may thicken, leading to capsular contracture, which can cause the breast to become hard and deformed.
5. Sensory Abnormalities
During surgery, local skin and nerves may be injured or compressed, potentially blocking nerve conduction and resulting in sensory abnormalities such as numbness, tingling, or decreased sensitivity.
Therefore, if you plan to undergo breast augmentation with implants, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and have the procedure performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid the aforementioned side effects.
