A one way ticket
If pondering over the subject of going through or not with a plastic surgery procedure, you must bear in mind that this is simply a one way ticket. There is no going back, even if the patient decides to have the implants removed afterwards. The damage to the mammary gland, to say the least, cannot be undone.
Once the muscle, tendons and sinews stretch, they cannot go back to their original state. Skin marks are impossible to remove, because the collagen fibers break apart and they cannot be mended. Usually, the esthetic look after the implants get removed the breasts will look worse than before.
During the plastic surgery procedure the nerves may get severed, thus impairing sensation in the nipple and in the breast. If this condition does not faint over time, it will render itself permanent, with no possibility to be corrected.
If this is the case, the damage to the patient’s sex life is enormous. Also this lack of functioning nerves can impair breastfeeding, because the order to release prolactin and oxytocin, the two hormones responsible for the production of milk, never reaches the brain.
A note must be made about side effects. Six out of ten women will experience some sort of adverse side effect in the following four years to the plastic surgery procedure, many of whom will require the removal of the implants and in some cases even of the mammary gland. Infections, leakage, fungus and capsular contracture are some of the problems that implants may cause.
