Breast augmentation is the introduction of special breast implants or autologous tissue into the deep surface of the original breast tissue or pectoral muscle of the chest through skin incision, thus inevitably causing some damage to it, but there is no age limit, many unmarried women want to restore self-confidence and rebuild their own selves through the surgery, but are afraid that breast augmentation will have adverse consequences for themselves, and their main concerns are expressed as follows: (1) Whether implants affect the further development of breasts and lactation after marriage and pregnancy (1) Whether the implant will affect the further development of breasts and breastfeeding after marriage and pregnancy. (2) Whether the implanted breast implants will affect the secretion of breast milk, thus affecting the nursing of babies. (3) Whether the implanted breast implants can be seen at a glance after breast augmentation. (4) Whether breast augmentation will affect pregnancy and menstruation. First, breast augmentation with breast implants is to place the implants under the breast tissue or under the pectoralis major muscle. No matter whether the incision is made through the armpit or through the areola or through the inframammary fold, the breast tissue will not be damaged, but the implant will be placed in the desired position by avoiding the breast tissue, so the development of the breast will not be affected in any way by the result of the change in the levels of progesterone and androgens after the pregnancy. will not be affected in any way. Secondly, the current information has no scientific evidence to prove that the prosthesis is a mutagenic or teratogenic substance, there is no chronic damaging effect on the tissues, after pregnancy and production, the milk secretion is affected by lactation hormone, the secretion of lactogen is controlled by the central nervous system and endocrine system, which has nothing to do with the prosthesis, and at the same time, the milk discharge does not pass through the prosthesis, so there is no effect on the breastfeeding and child-bearing babies. Third, with the improvement of the quality of the prosthesis and the improvement of the surgical skills, the current breast augmentation can completely reach the level of fake, real and fake, in the technology of good hospitals by the professional plastic and cosmetic surgeon for its surgery, can make the breast shape, softness, feel, feel and function nearly normal, so it is difficult to be unknowing people to see at a glance. Fourthly, plastic breast augmentation only improves the appearance without infringing on the structure and function of the body. Pregnancy and menstruation are affected by ovarian function, so pregnancy and menstruation have nothing to do with breast augmentation, and there is no way to say that breast augmentation will affect pregnancy and menstruation. 2.How should I take care of myself after breast augmentation? Post-operative care after breast augmentation directly affects the aesthetic effect of the human body, and will also directly affect the patient’s post-operative emotions and psychology, so the correct post-operative care is particularly important. (1) Reasonable postoperative bandage.

(2) Body position: patients should take semi-recumbent position in the early stage of postoperative period, and restrict the activities of chest and upper limbs to prevent the displacement of prosthesis. (3) Prevention of infection: as a normal reaction after surgery, some patients will have moderate fever in 2-3 days after surgery, which is an absorption reaction, generally not more than 38 degrees, so some anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics need to be taken orally, which can be treated symptomatically (4) Removal of stitches: generally, the stitches can be removed in 7-10 days after surgery. (5)After plastic surgery, generally three days after surgery, you can get out of bed, two weeks after surgery, both arms should avoid lifting, holding weights or other strenuous exercise, that is, to limit the strong contraction of the pectoralis major muscle activities, in order to avoid the breast implant in its capsule before the growth of solid compression and displacement. 3 weeks after the operation, you can return to normal activities.

There are two main types of breast implants commonly used on the market today: silicone gel implants and saline-filled implants. Scientists have been in the city of Albert, Canada, 11676 cases of breast implants to receive breast augmentation patients followed up for 13 years, in the United States of more than 10,000 cases of breast augmentation in Los Angeles on average followed up for 15.5 years, and found that the breast cancer incidence rate of the population of breast implants is lower than that of the control group. Therefore, it can be said with certainty that both types of prosthesis will not cause cancer. 4. Can silicone gel implants cause other diseases? According to the results of a large number of studies, silicone gel implants do not cause other diseases either. Doctors suggest that those who suffer from connective tissue diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc., should not choose silicone gel implants as breast augmentation materials. 5.Does it hurt when doing breast augmentation surgery? If general anesthesia or high epidural anesthesia is chosen for the surgery, there is no pain feeling during the surgery, but this needs to be done in hospital. There will be slight pain when the injection is given. It is usually completely tolerated by the average person. If a little more sedative and analgesic drugs are used before the operation, the unpleasant feeling during the operation will be minimized. 6.What incision is usually chosen for breast augmentation? Is the scar obvious? Breast augmentation requires a small incision to be chosen to place the implant in the appropriate level of the breast. The choice of incision should be determined by considering the surgeon’s experience, the patient’s requirements and the specific conditions of the body. There are nearly 10 types of incisions for breast augmentation, the most commonly used being the axillary fold incision, the lower areolar margin incision and the inframammary fold incision. Generally speaking, armpit crease incision and lower areola margin incision have the smallest scar and are the most hidden. 7.Is there any risk in breast implant surgery? What are the complications? Although the surgery is very safe, like any other surgery, there are certain risks and complications. General complications: hematoma, infection, incision scarring. Therefore, those with coagulation disorders, local or systemic infections should not undergo surgery, and those with a tendency to scarring should also proceed with caution. Special complications: abnormal nipple areola sensation, rupture of implant, hardening of breast, abnormal breast position and shape. The incidence of the above complications is generally very low, but the incidence also has a lot to do with the patient’s physical condition and the surgeon’s skill level. Once they occur, most of them can be remedied and treated. There is no need to worry too much.
