Several indicators provide insight that something has gone wrong after breast implantation. There may be a rupture leading to deflation of the implant. Sometimes the breast implant may shift in position, giving an aesthetically bad appearance. Pain at the incision site due to contracture and scar formation, infection or due to blood/fluid collection and fever are some other signs that something is wrong with the implant.
The most common complication after breast augmentation surgery is thick scar tissue that does not fade. Rupture of the implant leading to leaking of silicone, noticeable folds in the implants and hardening of the breast tissue due to implant contraction are some other complications.
When the body rejects the implants, there may be some symptoms of auto-immune reactions (when the body attacks its cells along with the foreign cells). The symptoms include joint pain, muscle aches, fatigue, dry mouth, memory issues and difficulty concentrating. This is usually seen when the implant is old.
Post the surgery, the implants need to settle into their position, and all the swelling needs to subside. All this takes a while. It may be about 3 to 4 months post-surgery that you may notice results.
For a few days after surgery, the breast muscles will be tight and compress the implant. This will make your breasts look smaller. Gradually, as the tension in the breast muscles eases, you may notice your breasts becoming more prominent in size.
Most women gain weight after surgery. The weight of the implant has only a small role in this weight gain. Most of it has to do with the rest and recuperation process post-surgery.
Breast augmentation is the surgery for enhancing your breasts. This is done by inserting artificial implants into the breast tissue. The type and size of the implant will be decided based on your requirements for breast augmentation surgery.
After breast augmentation surgery, there will be a lot of swelling around the breasts. Sleeping in an upright position helps reduce the pressure of the fluids around the implants. This leads to faster healing. You must sleep upright for at least two months post-surgery till the swelling subsides.
Some of the ways to help recover faster post-surgery include a good diet, taking medications on time, avoiding heavy lifting, sleeping on your back or in an upright position and avoiding ill-fitting clothes and underwired bras.
Massaging your breasts after surgery can help in several ways. It improves the blood flow to the operated area, helps to drain the excess fluid and the lymph nodes, and also reduces the chances of scar tissue formation. Be sure that you massage gently, though. Too much pressure can cause the opposite effects!
Moving too much and too soon will delay the breast augmentation recovery process. It may cause the implants to shift in position. The bruising and soreness may increase. The swelling, too, will take time to subside.
Some amount of pain after surgery is expected and very typical. However, if the pain is accompanied by fever, warmness and fullness in the breast, it is not normal. It warrants an immediate visit to the surgeon.
The side effects of this surgery include scar tissue formation, loss of sensation in the breast and nipple, blood and fluid accumulation and infection. Long-term breast augmentation side effects include the implants' sagging, shifting and rupture.
The feel of the breast implant depends on the type. A silicone implant will give a naturally smooth and soft, curvy feel. While a saline implant will provide a hard and firm feel to the breast.
Breast incision may take anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks to close. The length of the incision, the surgeon's skill and the quality of rest and recovery are some factors that affect the time breast incisions take to close. Adequate rest, following the post-operative instructions properly and keeping the area clean and dry will help to heal the incisions faster.
Immediately after surgery, the breast muscle will be tight and tense. Due to this, the breast seems small even after implant insertion. Gradually as the swelling subsides, the tension will ease, and the muscles will relax. This will make the breast look more prominent and enhanced.
Lifting your hands above your head after surgery will lead to discomfort and will create extra tension in the operated area. The sore and bruised feeling may increase, and the implant may shift slightly in position. Doctors recommend not lifting your hands above the head for a minimum of 4 weeks after surgery.
Stretching, bending, reaching out, bending forwards and backwards, and exercising can all cause damage to the sutures and lead to bleeding. This may also cause the implant to shift in position. Avoid all such activities for a minimum of four to six weeks after surgery.
