Here are some steps to help you if you have bleeding after breast implant surgery. First, you should see your surgeon. They may be able to use a draining technique in order to reduce swelling and blood pooling. To prevent blood loss, they can also administer a blood thinner.
Hematoma
Very rare is the late appearance of hematoma after breast-augmentation. Although the cause is unknown, the incident has been linked to a polyurethane coated implant and friction forces between surrounding tissue and the prosthesis. Ibrahim et al. Willens and colleagues reported late hematoma cases in women who underwent bilateral submuscular silicone breast augmentation. reported cases of late bleeding nine to 38 years after breast augmentation.
It can be uncomfortable but not life-threatening. It is possible to manage the hematoma with restraint, healthy eating, and a ice pack. In severe cases, a second surgery may be necessary to drain the hematoma.
Seroma
Seroma bleeding can occur after breast augmentation. It may be accompanied by pain, swelling, or discharge. These symptoms can often be seen between seven and ten days after breast augmentation. If left untreated, seromas will dissolve naturally within a month or two, but larger ones may take up to a year. In extreme cases, surgery may be required to remove the erma. You can treat your symptoms at the home.
The disruption of the blood supply is responsible for seroma formation. The disruption of the blood supply causes tissue loss, also known as necrosis. There are many surgical options that can cause seroma bleeding at different rates.
Post-operative bleeding
Minor bleeding after breast augmentation is normal and is not a cause for alarm. While excessive bleeding should be avoided, it is not usually serious. You should cover the area with tissue if blood is visible on your clothing after surgery. Although it's normal for blood to drip from the incisions, it could be a sign of more serious bleeding. You should consult your doctor if you notice excessive blood.
Multiple factors could be responsible for post-operative bleeding. One reason for bleeding is blood clotting. Post-operative bleeding can be prevented by wearing compression clothes that restrict movement and press on the wound. Your surgeon may have to stitch the bleeding vessels if you experience severe bleeding. Your risk of bleeding is increased if there are a lot of bruises. For two weeks, avoid taking aspirin or blood-thinning medicines before and after the surgery.
Treatment
After breast augmentation, infections can be serious. The surgeon will have to remove the infected implant if it is not healing properly. A new implant will be placed after waiting three to six month. The cost of the surgery includes costs for treating the infection. Patients should understand that some asymmetry can be expected following the procedure. However symmetry cannot be achieved.
It is quite common to have bleeding from the breasts. This can be treated with a reduction in blood pressure. The majority of cases resolve on their own, but if bleeding is persistent, the surgeon may need to perform a second surgical procedure to drain the hematoma.
