Complications and risks of breast reconstruction surgery

19th Nov 2015

Breast reconstruction surgery is relatively safe; however,as with any other surgery, there are complications and risks associated with it. The most common side effects are nausea and dizziness,as the surgery is completed under general anesthesia. The anesthesia can also cause reactions in a small number of patients. Your surgeon and medical team will reduce these risks by looking at your medical history and your fitness before surgery.

There are certain specific risks associated with this type of surgery, like leakage in implants,which will lead to further surgery.There is sometimes a risk that the blood supply to the breast will be affected; again, this would be solved with additional surgery. You should be aware of any complications associated with your type of surgery and familiarize yourself with what you may experience to prepare yourself and ensure that if anything does occur, you can deal with the problem immediately.

You should ensure that you choose the right surgeon and team for the procedure, ask as many questions as you wish during the consultation prior to surgery, and research what to ask as well as the expected results.This is to ensure that you are fully comfortable and ready for surgery.
