What Are The Risks of Breast Augmentations?

While breast augmentation in the modern day is generally complication free there are risks to the body that can be garnered from any invasive cosmetic plastic surgery. The specific risk will vary. Risks from breast augmentation vary but the most common risks are loss of sensation, lost capacity to breast feed, rupture of the implant, leakage from the implant, and shifting of the implant.

Loss of sensation from an implant can be in any part of the breast, but the typical location to lose sensitivity is the nipple. This generally occurs only when periareolar incisions are used to implant the silicone shell. This loss of sensitivity will only occur if nerve endings are damaged during surgery. A well-practiced and experienced surgeon can generally avoid this complication.

What are Risks of Breast Augmentations

The loss of the capacity to breast feed can also occur for similar reasons as sensation loss. Sometimes it is due to damaged never endings but most often it is due to damage or pressure on glandular tissue. To avoid this complication it is generally recommended to us the transaxillary insertion method. This is considered the best course of action for women who desire the ability to continue breast feeding. However, this incision type brings the greatest risk of visible scarring.

The possibility of the implant rupturing is very real. Implants do not last for all eternity and rarely for the entire life span of the patient. They need to be replaced after a time. Breast implants can rupture due to aging of the implant, trauma to the breasts or extensive compression to the area the implants are installed in.
Leaking implants are not uncommon. There has been a great deal of medical scrutiny toward this phenomenon and any possible side effects it might have in the body. Despite many individuals insisting that leakage caused severe medical issues there has been a determination that breast implant leakage from thoroughly inspected and approved materials does not pose significant health risk.

The possibility of an implant shifting can lead to many side-effects that range from an unaesthetic appearance to a possibly life threatening occurrence. If the cavity in which the implant is placed is not sized appropriately the implant may undergo several different types of movement. One of the most common is known as implant wrinkling. This is most common in under filled implants that utilize saline solution as the filler. The appearance of the breasts in some instance is rather like a half filled water balloon when the individual moves into certain body positions. Beyond this unappealing occurrence there is a situation known as breast implant migration that can do anything from make an individual's breast appear misshapen to the full effects of symnastia. Symnastia is commonly called "uniboob". This occurs when breast implants slide toward the center of the chest and give the appearance of one singular breast.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
