2 02 2010
Getting a breast enhancement procedure exposes you to perils such as breast-feeding troubles or implant leakage. Thus, it is important to know these common risks and side-effects to better equip you on what to do.
Quite a number of patients who have undergone breast enhancement successfully breast feed. However, there is still a probability that it will affect the breast feeding process. Before moving through the surgery, confer with your surgeon about this. Sometimes, breast enhancement leads to a loss of sensation in the nipple and breast area. This loss of sensation, which results from broken nerve endings, may be temporary or permanent. The outcome would depend upon the breast enhancement technique used by your surgeon.
Another possible risk of getting breast enhancement operation are the leaking of the breast implant materials into the adjacent breast tissue. To decrease the probability of leaking, make sure that the implant material that will be utilized is accredited by the FDA. Implants may also break or tear over time. Usually, snaps happen when there is excessive compression or injury to the breast. It may also be due to the natural aging of the implant. Sometimes, it is mammography itself that contracts the breast implant, thereby causing it to break.
The biggest risk in breast enhancement lies in its impediment of breast cancer detection. Breast enhancement implants may hide breast tumors during mammography or ultrasound. For patients with breast enhancement, additional views and special imaging are necessary during breast examination. The “Eklund displacement views” helps maximize the visibility of the breast tissue to better detect tumors.
Before trying a breast enhancement surgery, it is recommended to talk about the possible side effects with your chosen licensed surgeon who has right experience in breast enhancement. Ensure that the surgeon will inform you of everything you need to know about the procedure and its consequences.
