Do you need to wear corsets after breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery is the choice for many women to improve the shape of the chest through plastic surgery. However, during the recovery period after surgery, especially in the weeks after surgery, patients need to take some necessary measures to promote healing and stabilize the chest shape. One of the important measures is to wear corsets, which play an important role in the recovery and shaping process after surgery.

Function of corset

The corset is a special kind of tight fitting garment. Through external force compression, it can effectively reduce the edema of the surgical wound and provide support and stability. Specifically, corsets can play a role in the following aspects:

1. Reduce edema: after surgery, the chest often has edema. Wearing corsets can promote lymph and blood circulation through moderate pressure, reducing the occurrence and duration of edema.

2. Support the chest: corset can effectively support the chest, reduce the tension of the chest after surgery, and help the skin and tissues in the surgical area better heal and recover.

3. Keep shape: corsets can help patients keep the shape of the chest and prevent the breast from sagging or deforming.

How often do I need to wear corsets?

The length of wearing corset varies from person to person. It is generally recommended that patients start wearing corset on the first day after surgery, and the longest duration may reach 6 weeks. The following is the use schedule of corsets in general:

1. The first week: In the first week after the operation, the patient needs to wear a corset 24 hours a day to ensure the wound healing and shape stability.

2. The second to the fourth week: In the next 2-4 weeks, patients usually need to wear corsets for 16-20 hours every day, which can be temporarily removed when bathing and performing moderate exercise.

3. The fifth to sixth weeks: In the 5-6 weeks after surgery, patients can usually reduce the use time of corsets, and wear them for 8-12 hours every day.

matters needing attention

When wearing corsets, patients need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Choose the right size: the size of the corset is very important, too tight or too loose will affect the effect of the corset. It is recommended to choose the appropriate size under the guidance of the doctor.

2. Change and wash regularly: The corset should be cleaned and changed regularly to keep it clean and hygienic, and avoid irritation or discomfort to the skin.

3. Follow the doctor's advice: During the postoperative recovery, patients need to follow the doctor's guidance and advice, reasonably arrange activities and rest time, and avoid strenuous exercise and overwork.
