Risks To Consider In Breast Implant Surgery
If you plan on going in for a breast implant surgery there are a few risk factors that you should be aware of so that you can take the required precautions.
In most cases, any kind of infection is rare. However, you do need to watch out for symptoms of infection such as swelling, fever or soreness. Normally infections can be treated with antibiotics. If the symptoms of infection persist you may need to get the implant removed. Once the area has healed completely, which takes about three months, you can get the implant replaced.
If you find that the implant pocket begins to bleed after surgery, do not ignore it. Let your surgeon know so that they can remove the implant, control the bleeding and treat the wound. Once the wound has healed the surgeon will insert the implants once again.
Post surgery, look out for signs of pain or hardening of the breasts. You may need to get the fibrous scar capsule in the vicinity of the implant partly or completely removed. This capsule can then be replaced and the implant can be reinserted into it. Alternately, your surgeon may want to substitute a smooth implant for one that is textured. They could also decide to replace the implant in a new capsule under the breast or below the muscle. If you face this problem again and again you may want to get rid of the implants permanently.
In some instances implants may get dislodged and move to one side or get into a position that is too high or too low. Consult with your surgeon to get these rectified surgically.
Once you have had implants for a while, some amount of calcification may occur around the implant, in the scar capsule. These are however usually quite distinct from those type of calcifications that are a sign of breast cancer.
Sometimes, implants may leak due to a weak valve or due to a number of other factors. Saline implants have a very low incidence of reported leaks.
Breast implants may block out parts of a mammogram or impact its clarity. If you have a history of breast cancer in your family you may think twice about getting implants since they may pose a problem if you need to get a mammogram done.
There have been widespread fears of breast implant surgeries being a cause of breast cancer and autoimmune disease. However, so far there is no scientific evidence to prove either of these theories.
