Breast Augmentation Side Effects and Risks

The modern method for breast augmentation is over forty years old at this point and has become the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States, as well as a number of other places around the world.

In 2008 alone, there were more than 350,000 breast augmentations performed in the US alone, a remarkable fact considering that despite the current economic climate this was only an 11% drop from the previous year.

That works out to nearly 10,000 procedures a day for the whole year. From 1992 to today the number of yearly breast augmentation surgeries have increased ten-fold, from around 32,000 to the number above.

Complications arising from the surgery are relatively rare. However, there are some side effects that accompany the procedure. According to https://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ok-reviews/~3/im8ci6k8ln0/, breast implants generally don't interfere with breastfeeding.

Most patients who have received augmentation have no problems with breastfeeding, and it is generally assumed that patients receiving the procedure will be fully able to feed any children they have despite the implants.

There are some cases where an augmentation procedure will interfere with breastfeeding, specifically in certain types of surgeries, specifically those with periareolar incisions.

If you have plans to breastfeed, it's important to inform your surgeon so that they can use the proper procedure to minimize any chance of your augmentation interfering with breastfeeding.

One of the more serious problems with breast implants is the manner in which they interact with sensing devices used to screen for breast cancer.

Their presence in a woman's breast can block certain types of sensors from noticing potential tumors or lesions. Implants can disrupt the normal functions of x-ray, ultrasound and conventional mammography.

However, several techniques can be used to work around this problem by using Eklund displacement views. An Eklund scan uses a combination of conventional views and a series of novel angles to examine the entirety of a woman's breast to remove the implant's shadow.

Eklund scans are not part of a conventional screening, so informing your doctor about your augmentation surgery will allow him to compensate for their presence.

 Another side effect found with augmentation surgeries is a generalized lack of sensation in specific areas of the breast.

Most commonly affected are the nipples and aureole. The lack of sensation shouldn't be confused with numbness or a complete lack of sensation, rather a reduction of the intensity of sensation from affected areas.

This complication is caused by nerve damage incurred during the surgery and can be mitigated or avoided with proper surgical techniques.
