April 15, 2009
More and more women are opting for breast implant surgery. What ever be the prompting reason behind the decision to go for the implant surgery, it is important that all women have a better understanding regarding the side effects of breast implant.
The side effects generally range from breast-feeding issues to implant leakage. If only you know what exactly is happening during the implant surgery will you able to get a clear picture regarding what exactly to do.
Majority of women who have undergone breast implant are able to breast feed their babies successfully. But, rarely, breast implants are found to interfere adversely with breast feeding. It is advisable to talk about your plans to breast feed to your plastic surgeon well before the surgery.
Another possible risk of breast implant is that it obstructs the normal detection of breast cancer. While mammography, X-ray, or even ultrasound scanning is conducted, the implants might hide suspicious tumors or lesions. It is important that the doctors pay special attention while the breast examination of breast-implant patients is being done.
It is advisable to discuss with your radiologist about the need to make use of special imaging techniques such as Eklund displacement views.
Such imaging methods help in maximizing the size of the analyzed breast tissue. Thus, it becomes easier to detect the presence of tumors or lesions.
After the breast implant surgery is done, some women are found to experience loss of sensation in the area around the nipple.
Loss of sensation is mainly due to the damage that might have occurred to the nerve endings that surrounds the breast and nipple area. In most cases, such a change is temporary that gets better naturally with the passage of time.
However, some patients suffer from permanent loss of sensation after the implant surgery. Complications are generally based on the opted mode of implant surgery. It should also be kept in mind that no implant will last forever.
