What are the dangers of autologous fat breast augmentation?

In fact, many people don’t know that common breast augmentation plastic surgery also has two sides. Many things may have two sides, especially in terms of medication and treatment. There are advantages and disadvantages. Many women have big breasts, and in order to look beautiful, they go to the hospital for breast augmentation surgery. The method of breast augmentation surgery is very simple. Autologous fat can be used to enlarge the breasts, but although this method is simple, the process may cause local infection and complications due to lack of strict disinfection or carelessness during liposuction, and it may also cause chronic inflammation, so it can also be harmful.

Risks of autologous fat breast augmentation

The hazards of autologous fat breast augmentation: 1. Cystic change: part of the fat degenerates into fibrosis, calcifies and forms a complete cyst wall, which is surrounded by part of the liquefied fat. The cyst wall itself can also secrete a lot of fluid, causing the lump to grow larger and larger. Cystic masses can be removed surgically and a pressure bandage applied after surgery.

The second hazard of autologous fat breast augmentation is infection: it is caused by lax disinfection during the operation, contamination during liposuction, fat flushing or fat injection, failure to use drugs when flushing fat, or chronic inflammation in the donor area, recipient area and other parts that was not discovered before the operation and was not treated.

The third harm of autologous fat breast augmentation is poor appearance: the harm of this type of autologous fat breast augmentation is due to uneven fat absorption and different amounts of absorption, which causes local depression or asymmetry of the breasts on both sides. At this time, fat particles can be injected again into the sunken areas to make the shape more beautiful.

The fourth hazard of autologous fat breast augmentation is lipoma: the injected fat particles aggregate into lumps, stimulating the host cells to transform and proliferate into lipoma. Therefore, the injected fat particles should be evenly distributed, and the aggregated masses should be kneaded and dispersed after the operation. If tumor-like hyperplasia has formed, the only way is to cut the tissue and flatten or remove the hyperplasia.

The fifth harm of autologous fat breast augmentation is fat absorption: Fat absorption is the most serious harm of autologous fat breast augmentation. At present, the exact cause is not very clear. It may be related to the damage and necrosis of fat cells during aspiration and injection, or the lack of sufficient nutrition of the injected fat or infection and many other factors. It involves many problems in autologous free tissue transplantation.

The sixth hazard of autologous fat breast augmentation is caseous necrosis: due to the lack of nutrition of the injected fat cells, the fat cells gradually become inactive and calcified, the liquefied fat in the formed fibrous nodules is gradually absorbed, and the calcified fat particles and fibrous tissue gradually form caseous necrosis. To treat the harm of this type of autologous fat breast augmentation, surgical removal of the necrotic lesions is required.

The seventh hazard of autologous fat breast augmentation is fat liquefaction: due to the injection of too many inactivated fat cells, or uneven fat injection, too much fat injected at the same level and the same part, the fat fails to have extensive contact with the transplant bed, and gathers into lumps by itself, which is the hazard of autologous fat breast augmentation. In this way, the peripheral fat tissue may survive, while the fat in the central area gradually necrotizes and liquefies.

Hazards of autologous fat breast augmentation 8. Bleeding: This type of autologous fat breast augmentation is caused by damaging small blood vessels in the breast during injection or coagulation disorder of the patient, improper pressure bandage after surgery, etc. Therefore, the injection action should be gentle, control the layers well, try to avoid large blood vessels, and the injection needle used should be a blunt-tipped side hole. When a hematoma occurs, it can be aspirated with a needle and then bandaged with local pressure. In severe cases, the wound needs to be reopened to stop bleeding and hemostatic drugs need to be given intravenously.
