Getting a breast enhancement operation exposes you to risks such as breast-feeding difficulties or implant leakage. Thus, it is essential to understand these common risks and side-effects to better equip you on what to do.
Quite a number of patients who have tried breast enhancement successfully breast feed. However, there is still a possibility that it will affect the breast feeding process. Before going through the surgery, confer with your surgeon about this. Sometimes, breast enhancement results to a loss of sensation in the nipple and breast area. This loss of sensation, which results from damaged nerve endings, may be temporary or permanent. The result would depend upon the breast enhancement technique practiced by your surgeon.
Another possible danger of getting breast enhancement procedures are the leaking of the breast implant materials into the surrounding breast tissue. To decrease the possibility of leaking, make sure that the implant material that will be utilized is approved by the FDA. Implants may also burst or tear over time. Normally, snaps occur when there is extreme 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 worst risk in breast enhancement rests in its inference of breast cancer detection. Breast enhancement implants may cover 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 undergoing a breast enhancement surgery, it is recommended to discuss the possible side effects with your selected licensed surgeon who has adequate experience in breast enhancement. Ensure that the surgeon will inform you of everything you need to know about the procedure and its side effects.
