What happens if you get a hematoma after breast augmentation ?
Answer: Hematoma The hematoma is a collection of blood in the pocket of dissection after surgery. It's a rare complication. If it's small it can be watched as it can reabsorb on its own, although there have been reports of increased capsular contracture (hardening) after this complication. If it is large (significantly more swollen on one side) or if it is rapidly growing (Expanding hematoma) the patient needs to be urgently re-explored, the clots removed, the bleeding vessel stopped, the pocket washed out with the triple antibiotic saline solution and the implant placed back.

Answer: Hematoma after breast surgery If you develop a hematoma after surgery, that breast will be explored to determine where the bleeding is coming from and to stop the bleeding and evacuate the blood. I hope that this helps!

Answer: A hematoma after breast augmentation should be surgically drained. There will be no long-term consequences from a hematoma after breast augmentation if it is surgically drained. Expected treatment increases the risk of capsular contracture.

Answer: Hematoma can lead to capsular contracture After the acute problem with the hematoma is dealt with, there is a long term risk of capsular contracture. This is why it is so important for you to follow the instructions from your plastic surgeon meticulously.
