Unsuccessful breast augmentation surgery. Common and rare complications after mammoplasty

Breast lift is perhaps the most popular plastic surgery that the fair sex dares to undergo. Mammoplasty has allowed a huge number of women to achieve those forms that, unfortunately, nature did not endow them with. It is not surprising that mammoplasty in Russia and in the world ranks second in popularity.

There are two types of breast surgery: breast correction without implants (mastopexy) and lifting with the simultaneous installation of silicone implants. The correction method depends on individual characteristics, the degree of ptosis (drooping) of the breast and the result that the patient expects. And these expectations are sometimes too high, and the surgeon can overdo it...

The most unforgivable mistakes were made during mammoplasty by actress Tara Reid, singer Paula Abdul and Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling. Unsightly cleavages, deformation, loose skin, too large implants (which were placed close to each other and moved apart over time) - this is not a complete list of defects that these celebrities had to face after breast surgery.

Small errors can also be very noticeable. At one time, Pamela Anderson, Mel B, Anna Semenovich, Ivanka Trump and others decided to install implants. From their photographs you can trace changes in fashion for women's parameters. We invite you to look at examples of unsuccessful breast surgery, when the operation disfigured its owner.

Pamela Anderson

Since large breasts were in fashion 10–20 years ago, there is nothing to condemn Pamela Anderson for. The actress is sure that it was her large breasts that paved her way to Hollywood. Pamela went under the surgeon’s knife several times until she acquired the shape that, in her opinion, helped her stellar career. However, the fashion for impressive sizes quickly passed, and those actresses who made themselves large breasts, including Pamela Anderson, today adhere to the principles of natural forms.

Not the way I wanted: stars who had unsuccessful breast surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is the most popular among celebrities. However, in pursuit of ideal forms, some celebrities encountered unprofessional doctors who incorrectly placed implants on them. We talk about stars who became victims of unsuccessful mammoplasty.

The surgeon whom Christina Aguilera (39) turned to performed mammoplasty through the armpits, which is why the singer was left with large scars under her arms, which she carefully hides.

But the operation also affected the shape of Christina’s breasts - the implants were initially placed incorrectly, so as soon as the singer loses weight, her breasts lose their shape and folds appear on them.

Ivanka Trump

Ivanka (38) had mammoplasty back in 2006, and her surgeon’s main mistake was the incorrect formation of the implant bed.

For this reason, one of Ivanka's breasts turned out to be larger than the other. It seems that she corrected the size with repeated mammoplasty, but the star herself did not confirm this information.

Tori Spelling

The star of the series “Beverly Hills, 90210” Tori Spelling (47) had problems with her breast size for many years and eventually decided to undergo mammoplasty.

However, the surgeon installed the implants too close, so the actress’s breasts look strange. But such a doctor’s mistake affects not only the form, but also the patient’s health - complications and even bleeding may occur.

Tara Reid

American Pie star Tara Reid, 44, decided to have mammoplasty because one of her breasts was noticeably larger than the other.

But the surgeon placed the implants too far, which is why a large, unsightly cleavage appeared between the breasts.

Tara had to undergo several revision surgeries, and now her breasts look much better.

Courtney Love

Courtney Love (56) has always dreamed of a big bust. However, after the operation, something went wrong - the implants were greatly displaced, one breast turned out to be larger than the other, and even with the help of repeated surgery it was not possible to solve the problem.

Victoria Silvstedt

Actress and model Victoria Silvstedt (46), who became famous thanks to the series “Baywatch,” had beautiful, medium-sized breasts, but she still wanted to enlarge them.

During the operation, the doctor placed the implants too far apart. However, this small drawback did not stop Victoria from appearing on magazine covers and walking the catwalk.

Hayden Panettiere

Actress Hayden Panettiere (31), whom you may know from the TV series “Heroes” and “Nashville,” also went under the surgeon’s knife to enlarge her breasts by as much as three sizes. However, here the girl herself made a mistake - she chose too large implants, and the doctors could not dissuade her.

As a result, due to the fact that Hayden did not have enough soft tissue for her size, the actress developed a large cleavage closer to her right breast, which she has not yet corrected.

Large breast size does not bother Russian celebrity Anna Semenovich. Her bust continues to grow, despite fashion trends.

Don't do surgery for future use

Small surgery or big lift? It all depends on the goals you set for yourself. A fairly simple neck liposuction operation can eliminate a double chin, restoring the youthful contours of your face. Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) can make your eyes look younger and more open. Moreover, any of the operations can be done in about an hour, on an outpatient basis, without hospitalization.

There’s no need to try to do something for the future: since I’m already lying on the operating table, I’ll tighten it up here and there, so that I don’t have to go to the doctor again later. It will not be possible to do a facelift for future use. There is a time for everything, and each type of plastic surgery has its own indications. Typically, the older the patient, the more problems he has and the more extensive the plastic surgery that is indicated for him.

Mel B

However, the disadvantages of mammoplasty are not only the incorrectly selected size of implants. There are stars who really have nothing to brag about in this matter. Breast surgery disfigured one of the “peppercorns” - Mel B. The singer received too large implants, but that’s not even the problem - they are too close and visually spoil the appearance of her breasts.

Common Complications

The most common general surgical complications are:

  • hematoma;
  • seroma;
  • scar formation.

A hematoma is dangerous if blood gets into the surgical pocket near the implant. If the accumulation is localized next to it, intervention is not required. To prevent the formation of such hematomas, it is important to prepare the cardiovascular system and blood coagulation system for surgery in advance, as well as follow a number of rules during the operation.

Seroma often occurs in two cases: if the patient has problems with the lymphatic system or if the doctor made a mistake and did not perform the procedure very well. The accumulation of serous fluid is drained, but in some cases also does not require additional treatment.

Infection is one of the main dangers that await a surgeon’s patients. The development of inflammation can be life-threatening. As a rule, such a complication becomes a consequence of medical negligence or non-compliance with hygiene and dressings after surgery and discharge from a medical institution. A similar complication is skin necrosis , which can occur either due to infection or due to a violation of the blood supply to the tissue area. This phenomenon may be caused by too much weight of the dentures. Also, in some cases, after surgery, numbness may be observed, which can last for several weeks or months, but then disappears without a trace, in this case we cannot talk about complications, this is a possible variant of the postoperative course.

Keloid scars are not so dangerous, but they are a serious aesthetic defect that is not easy to eliminate. Their appearance is associated with the characteristics of the skin and tissue healing mechanisms. It is very important to tell your doctor about scarring problems in advance so that you can choose the best method for performing surgery on such an important area of ​​the body as the breasts. In this case, healing Cure without visible consequences is possible in the early stages of keloid development.

THERE ARE CONTRAINDICATIONS SPECIALIST CONSULTATION IS REQUIRED

Remember that there is a time for everything

Do you look older than you would like? Anti-aging treatments no longer help? Do you feel younger than your reflection in the mirror? If you answered yes to all these questions, perhaps the time has come and it’s time to contact a plastic surgeon.

Choose a doctor who specializes in facial plastic surgery and has sufficient experience. Even if you were in a hurry and there are no objective indications for surgery, it doesn’t matter. The specialist will talk about this and recommend conservative methods to solve the problem. After all, the surgeon is no less interested than you in ensuring that the result is visible in the photos before and after the operation, and that it is as impressive as possible.

Don't be afraid of cuts

Is it possible to have a facelift without any incisions? When you need to remove folds of skin, you just need to cut off the excess. And this is impossible to do without cuts. And the more excess skin, the longer the incisions. But surgeons try to make sure that they are not noticeable after the operation. For example, special technologies for lifting with a short seam are being developed.

On the other hand, operations without incisions still exist. For example, the same liposuction of the double chin or transconjunctival blepharoplasty, which allows you to remove excess fat from under the skin. These operations do not require incisions in the skin and give excellent results, but under one condition - when there is excess adipose tissue and no excess skin.

There is also endoscopic lifting, but this operation has so many limitations that it is not suitable for most patients.

What operations can be considered unsuccessful?

Let's look at the most common mistakes made by surgeons.

In rhinoplasty:

– Excessive removal of cartilage and bone tissue, which can subsequently lead to callus formation due to increased calcification.

Repeated rhinoplasty, correction of the result of an unsuccessful operation by another surgeon.

In blepharoplasty:

– If you pull the upper eyelid, you can get a surprised look instead of an open one.

Correction of the result of an unsuccessful operation by another surgeon - too much fat was removed from the upper eyelids.
Photo from the website of the clinic “Doctor Grishkyan” Moscow, there are contraindications, consultation with a specialist is required. – If you tighten the skin on the lower eyelid, this can lead to inversion of the eyelid, as a result of which the eye will no longer close.

For face lift:

– Pinching of the facial nerve, as a result of which the eyes stop closing or, on the contrary, open, the corners of the mouth are raised so that the teeth are exposed and the mouth does not close.

– As a result of an unsuccessful circular lift, hair may fall out or you may smile too much.

Correcting the result of an unsuccessful operation by another surgeon - you can see for yourself what happened to the ear, and the lift was done unsightly. Photo from the website of the clinic “Doctor Grishkyan” Moscow, there are contraindications, consultation with a specialist is required.

In mammoplasty:

– All people have a different understanding of proportionality. Therefore, it may happen that the surgeon inserts a disproportionately large implant, or does not select the appropriate shape, and instead of a drip one, for example, inserts a round one. And then the image will look inharmonious.

A separately unsuccessful result can be noted in the case of individual intolerance to the implant. It happens that the body begins to reject a foreign object, thereby provoking scarring and turning the breast into stone. Unfortunately, even an experienced surgeon cannot predict this side effect, because everything is very individual. Implants with a textured coating can slightly reduce the risk.

Doley Parton


Dolly Parton is an American country singer who has topped the country charts more than twenty times. Breast augmentation, facelift, liposuction - this is just a small list of Parton's manipulations. She herself says that she is completely happy with her appearance now. But fans are worried: there is practically nothing left of the former beauty Doli. And it's not a matter of age.

Breast implant replacement is the most common procedure for revision breast surgery.

Repeated plastic surgery with removal of old implants and replacing them with new ones is carried out in the following cases:

  • the occurrence of certain complications, such as capsular contracture or infection
  • if it is necessary to replace outdated or low-quality implants
  • in case the patient is not satisfied with the size or shape of the breast acquired as a result of primary plastic surgery

In any case, the surgeon must carefully examine the patient before installing new implants. If necessary, she will be prescribed the necessary treatment and rehabilitation program. Surgery to correct unsuccessful breast surgery and installation of new implants is performed only after your doctor is completely confident in the patient’s recovery and the success of repeated breast surgery.

Don't expect results for life

It is believed that the result of the operation lasts for 7-10 years. But this is individual. If you constantly gain and lose weight, for example, your skin will stretch and sag much sooner. Proper nutrition, sleep, walks, vitamins and everything else that maintains healthy skin tone prolongs the tightening effect.

But the surgeon can also do something for long-term results. To prevent the skin and soft tissues from “sliding down” under the influence of gravity, they need to be properly tightened and properly fixed. Support thread system is one of the most reliable methods of tissue fixation, recognized throughout the world. And, by the way, it was developed here in Russia.
