Injecting hyaluronic acid can make the breasts fuller and the skin more elastic. Although it is derived from biological tissues and generally does not cause any allergic reactions, there can still be some side effects and risks if the procedure is not performed scientifically. This article mainly introduces the side effects of hyaluronic acid breast augmentation.
Mild redness and swelling
Immediately after the hyaluronic acid breast augmentation, there may be slight redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site, as well as possible bruising. Generally, the redness will disappear within 24 hours and the bruising will fade within 48 hours. If the redness and pain persist, infection should be considered.
Wound infection
Hyaluronic acid breast augmentation is an invasive treatment, and if the needle used for injection is not thoroughly disinfected, it may cause infection. In addition, lack of proper post-injection hygiene can also lead to bacterial infection.
Uneven skin surface
Some patients may experience skin depression and unevenness after hyaluronic acid breast augmentation due to uneven injection volume or different absorption rates in different areas. This may require a secondary injection for correction.
Short maintenance period
Hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed and broken down by the body. Although it rarely causes allergic reactions, it is not a long-term effective breast augmentation method. Under normal circumstances, it can only maintain the desired effect for 6-12 months, and a touch-up injection is needed approximately every year.
Skin necrosis
Insufficient cell regeneration and disorganized collagen regeneration in the body can lead to a lack of nutrition in some cells after the surgery, resulting in skin necrosis. Proper control of the injection volume can help avoid this.
