Breast Augmentation Gone Bad

Breast augmentation remains to be one of the most sought after procedures in the market, as it gives clients who choose to undergo the procedure a boost of confidence and an improved physique. However no matter how much success and popularity this procedure gathered, it still has inherent risks for complications. There remains to be that chance of something going wrong. How do you determine if something is indeed not quite right? Here are ten ways to determine if your breast augmentation result has gone bad.

1. When you feel tightening on your chest area, specifically from your implants, this can be a sign of a capsular contracture. This is when a scar tissue develops around the implant putting some pressure on it which results to hardening of the breasts.

2. Sometimes implant deflation can also occur it could be due to external factors which cause the implants to rupture or leak. When this happens you will notice your breasts becoming asymmetrical. A reaction from deflated saline implants is less likely to occur since the fluid has the same osmolarity with that of our body fluids. However, if you had a silicone implant on, you should immediately notify your surgeon because this can cause untoward reactions such as capsular contractures as an inflammatory response to the foreign substance.

3. If you are experiencing chills, increased temperature, pain, redness and swelling specifically on the site of the implants, this could be a sign that you are having an infection. For this case, immediately report this to your surgeon to get immediate help before it progress into something more serious such as sepsis.

4. Sometimes there are instances where the implants form rippling due to the saline fluid shifting inside. This can look unattractive especially when the rippling occurs on the upper half of the implants which can be visible in with blouses that have low necklines.

5. Breast pain which can be due to an array of causes such as capsular contractures and infection, therefore consult this with your surgeon to rule out any serious problems. You might need to have your implants removed or replaced.

6. Nipple numbness is also a concern with breast augmentation since the procedure also require some incisions. Along with breaking skin integrity and some blood vessels, nerve endings can also be damaged along the way, resulting to numbness in the area.

7. If you notice any fluid discharges from your nipple report this right away to your surgeon.

8. Asymmetry is one indication that a breast augmentation procedure was not done and evaluated carefully. When this happens, massaging your breasts just won't do it. You need to have a corrective surgery to get that symmetry. Therefore to avoid this problem, it is important to find a skilled and certified surgeon to perform the procedure.

9. If you feel itching on the area, especially with silicone breast implants, you need to get this to the surgeon's attention because you might be having an allergic reaction.

10. Necrosis is what you call tissue death, and this happens when a certain area did not get enough blood circulation or a total lack of it. This is evidenced by a darkening of the tissue with some untoward smell.
