Today, many girls dream of plastic surgery, who do not even know about its consequences. So, in plastic surgery there are cases when, after some time, the girls have the most terrible side effects and they face very serious health problems.
What are girls afraid of with mammoplasty?
A girl who decides to take such a crucial step as breast augmentation by surgery (mammoplasty) should understand that there is some risk of complications. Some, not thinking about unsuccessful breast plastic surgery, then suffer all their lives and blame themselves for having once decided on this.
The most common fear, in addition to complications, is the fear of girls / women to suffer from anesthesia. Since in our country there have been cases when patients did not get up from the operating table due to the negligence of an anesthetist.
How to choose a plastic surgeon?
The key to a successful mammoplasty and the exclusion of unsuccessful breast plastic surgery is the right choice of a qualified specialist. He must be open and honest with his patient, as well as be sure to follow the main law of doctors "Do no harm!"
An experienced plastic surgeon is required to dedicate the patient to all the details of the operation. Explain to the girl / woman about the advantages and disadvantages of a particular method of breast augmentation and warn about the possible consequences.
Also, the doctor, in order to help the patient overcome the fear of unsuccessful breast reconstruction, must answer all her questions. If desired, the girl has the right to demand documents confirming the qualifications of the specialist, and quality certificates for implants.
Causes of poor-quality mammoplasty
Not a single doctor (this applies not only to plastic surgery, but also medicine in general) can guarantee that the operation will be 100% successful, since each human body is individual, and how he will behave in a particular situation, unknown to anyone.
So, experts distinguish the following causes of unsuccessful breast plastic surgery. We do not provide a photo of the consequences of such operations for ethical reasons.
- Lack of experience and qualifications of a plastic surgeon. So, today, doctors who do not have the skills to carry out delicate work in the process of implant placement take up plastic surgery. This leads not only to poor results, but also to serious complications that may cost the patient life.
- Inadequate examination of the patient before surgery. An experienced specialist is required to appoint to his patient all the necessary tests and conduct the necessary examinations. Then he studies the big picture, and only after that allows or does not allow the girl / woman to have mammoplasty.
- Failure to comply with all doctor's recommendations during the rehabilitation period. Often there were cases in plastic surgery when, due to the negligence of the patients themselves, they received undesirable complications. Therefore, after returning home after surgery, you must carefully follow all the recommendations of a doctor and do not ignore his instructions. It can cost you health!
- Unjustified expectations. Often, patients after mammoplasty say that they expected something more. However, if the surgeon informed you about everything before the operation, your expectations are your problems.
Possible complications of mammoplasty
Like many other major surgeries, mammoplasty can have some complications. They are not so common, however, there were cases when the patients had the following problems after breast augmentation surgery:
- the appearance of scars;
- hematoma;
- infection;
- seroma.
Why is hematoma dangerous after mammoplasty?
A hematoma carries a risk after unsuccessful breast plasty only if the blood enters the surgical pocket, which is located next to the implant.
As a prevention of this complication, experienced plastic surgeons know that it is necessary to prepare the cardiovascular system first and check the blood coagulation before surgery. It is also equally important to observe the technique and the correctness of the procedure.
What is a “seroma” and why is it dangerous?
Seroma is the process of accumulation of serous fluid. The risk of such a complication of mammoplasty as seroma is in the case when the patient had abnormalities in the lymphatic system or insufficiently qualified surgical intervention.
What threatens infection with mammoplasty?
Infection as a result of unsuccessful breast plastic surgery is the greatest fear of plastic surgeons, since the inflammatory process in any part of the human body can be life-threatening.
As a rule, inflammation can occur due to medical dishonesty, or in violation of hygiene during dressings, or before the patient’s discharge.
There is a complication of the infection - skin necrosis. This process is accompanied by the death of dermal cells due to impaired blood flow to a specific area of tissue. Necrosis is also evidence of poor breast repair.
Scars after surgery
Keloid scars are an aesthetic defect, which is also regarded as a complication that does not pose a threat to the patient's life. The appearance of scars on the skin after surgery is associated not with the negligence of the doctor or his lack of qualifications, but with the peculiarities of the girl’s skin.
So, the patient is obliged to inform the doctor about the sensitivity of the skin, about possible earlier scarring after damage to a particular area of the skin before surgery. This will allow the specialist to choose the most suitable method of the operation. With increased sensitivity of the patient's skin, the healing process takes longer than usual.
When is reoperation necessary?
Poor breast repair is very common today. All due to the fact that doctors with insufficient qualifications impersonate top-level professionals. Women after surgery to change the shape or size of the breast may not immediately suspect the poorly performed work of the surgeon. This can happen in a year, two, five or even ten years.
Reoperation may result from aging of the implants or a change in the patient’s breast shape. Another reason that may require repeated mammoplasty is capsular contact (the formation of dense tissue around the implant, which puts pressure on a foreign body in the body). This phenomenon is not immediately apparent. However, after a year or two, terrible plastic breasts can manifest as pain and chest tightening. This suggests that you need to seek help from a surgeon.
