Now there is a long list of safety
measures that cosmetic surgeons take during surgery to enhance the recovery
experience for breast augmentation patients and reduce the risk of
complications following surgery.
Some side effects following breast augmentation surgery may include:
Swelling bruising inflammation nausea pain
and muscle spasms.
Pain: Pain following breast
augmentation has been markedly reduced case of several techniques used in
surgery. The delicate techniques used today are not as invasive as those in the
past. Also, plastic surgeons may use pain medication in the breast pocket that
they create for the breast implant during surgery. Techniques today often do
not result in the need for drains to be placed in the breast following breast
augmentation surgery. The strategies that are used to reduce infection and
bruising also impact the level of breast augmentation pain.
Nausea: Nausea following breast
augmentation surgery may be due to anesthesia given during the procedure and/or
due to pain medication that is taken during recovery. Plastic surgeons today
use approaches to the procedure that involve less dissection of the breast and
more delicate techniques to reduce the need for pain medication during recovery.
In addition, there are anesthetic products available today that do not produce
as much nausea as in the past. Many patients today may undergo the plastic
surgery procedure with local anesthetics and sedation which further reduces the
risk for nausea following surgery. Finally, there are antinausea pre and post-medications
that may be used to reduce nausea after plastic or cosmetic surgery.
Inflammation and Muscle Spasms: Some
breast augmentation patients experience muscle spasms and inflammation following
surgery. Antiinflammatory medications and steroids may be given during cosmetic
surgery to reduce post-operative inflammation and nausea.
Complications: The decreased risk of
complications overall has occurred because of new technology and technique. The
removal of blood during cosmetic surgery reduces the risk of infection and
capsular contracture. The deflation rate has been reduced to less than 1. The
technology used for the dissection of the breast for implant placement helps to
reduce hematoma risks. The use of local anesthesia instead of general
anesthesia decreases risks for complications as well. Continue reading about

This list of possible side effects and
safety measures taken by plastic surgeons to avoid side effects are only a
small sample of the types of measures that plastic surgeons perform during
surgery. Breast augmentation recovery is undoubtedly less extreme than years
ago. In addition, recovery time averages have come down to five days now
