What causes pain after breast augmentation?

In daily life, breast augmentation with implants is a method of placing implants into women's breasts through surgery to achieve the purpose of breast augmentation. Breast augmentation with implants requires incisions, so it will cause great harm to the body. Pain after breast augmentation with implants is a manifestation of sequelae, and it can also easily lead to symptoms such as breast hematoma and fever. This is due to the stimulation caused by the implant in the body, which requires timely care.

Why does breast augmentation hurt?

Sequelae

Infection: Redness, swelling, heat and pain are the main manifestations of sequelae, which may occur shortly after surgery.

Hematoma: Huge hematoma, breast enlargement, tenderness, tissue color change, etc., if not treated, will lead to exposure of the artificial breast and subsequent capsular contracture, which is a serious sequelae of breast augmentation with implants.

Nipple discharge: After the implantation of the prosthesis, due to the stimulation of the prosthesis, some people experience an increase in prolactin in their bodies, resulting in nipple discharge.

Breast ptosis: This type of sequelae of breast augmentation with implants often occurs in cases where the implants are implanted under the mammary gland. It can also occur in patients with loose breast skin and oversized implants.

Asymmetry or sagging: Asymmetry is caused by the following reasons: incorrect selection of implant shape and size, capsular contracture, hematoma, seroma, implant rupture, chest asymmetry, breast tissue asymmetry, and breast augmentation with implants. In addition, breasts will sag over time just like natural breasts.

Capsular contracture: This is a relatively unique and serious sequelae of breast augmentation surgery, which manifests as the breasts becoming gradually hard. This complication is related to the quality of the prosthesis, individual differences among patients, and surgical operations.

Postoperative clinical characteristics

1. Posterior space of pectoralis major: The operation is relatively simple and takes a short time, but there is obvious pain after the operation and the recovery is slow. The position of the implant is relatively fixed, lacking in fluctuation, and the cleavage shape is poor.

2. Retromammary space: The operation time is slightly longer, the postoperative pain is light, the recovery is quick, the feel is more real, and the breasts have a sense of fluctuation and the cleavage shape is better during postoperative activities, which feels more real.

Four major features

First, it is soft to the touch, consistent with the softness of natural breast structure, and has a realistic feel.

Second, the filling material in the prosthesis is not the liquid as before, but a frozen gel, which is purely transparent. At the exhibition, the manufacturer's representative used a knife to cut the prosthesis, just like cutting a cake. The contents of the prosthesis did not flow, so the concerns about the prosthesis breaking and moving inside the body were completely eliminated.

Third, the surface of the prosthesis changes from smooth to rough, that is, frosted. This is the most revolutionary change in prostheses in recent years. Since the original smooth surface prosthesis has a higher incidence of capsular hyperplasia, contracture and sclerosis after implantation into the human body, the rough surface prosthesis reduces the incidence of sclerosis from a few percent to a few ten thousandths. Of course, the production technology of this kind of rough surface is also quite complicated.

Fourth, the prosthesis is extremely tough. Visitors can knead and stretch it as they please with their hands, and it will return to its original shape once they let go. The manufacturer once tried to use a car to run over the prosthesis, and the prosthesis remained intact.
