Selection of materials for breast augmentation surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, mainly through the implantation of breast prosthesis to improve the shape and size of the breast. Before breast augmentation surgery, doctors need to select appropriate materials to implant in the breast area. The following will elaborate on the selection of materials for breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.

1. Selection of breast prosthesis

Breast prosthesis is one of the most commonly used materials in breast augmentation surgery. At present, there are two main types of breast prosthesis on the market: saline prosthesis and silicone prosthesis.

The saline prosthesis is composed of the outer silicone shell and the inner saline. Its advantage is that the price is relatively low, and it is easier to detect and deal with leakage. However, the saline prosthesis has a hard texture, poor hand feel and is prone to wrinkles.

Silicone prosthesis is composed of outer silicone shell and inner silicone filled with different shapes and textures. The advantages of silicone prosthesis are soft texture, good fit and more natural. However, silicone implants are relatively expensive and require regular inspection to ensure that there are no leaks.

According to individual needs and doctors' suggestions, patients can choose their own breast prosthesis.

2. Selection of preoperative examination materials

Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to undergo a series of preoperative examinations to ensure the safety and success of the surgery. These tests include blood tests, mammograms, etc.

Blood examination can detect the blood routine test, coagulation function and other indicators of the patient to assess whether the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery. Mammography can check the condition of breast tissue and help doctors determine the operation method and implantation position.

The selection of these preoperative examination materials will directly affect the smooth operation and the prediction of the effect.

3. Selection of surgical instrument materials

When performing breast augmentation surgery, doctors need to use some specific instruments and materials. For example, a dilator is used to expand the surgical area and maintain the implantation position; Suture is used to suture the wound and ensure the healing of the wound.

With the progress of medical technology, the choice of device materials is more and more diversified. Doctors can select suitable instruments and materials according to the needs of surgery and the special conditions of patients to improve the success rate of surgery and postoperative effects.

4. Selection of postoperative nursing materials

After breast augmentation surgery, patients need a period of postoperative care. This includes the use of specific care materials to protect wounds, reduce pain, and reduce swelling.

Common postoperative nursing materials include wound patches, detumescence ointment, pain killers, etc. The selection of these materials should meet the doctor's recommendations and the patient's needs to promote wound healing and postoperative comfort.

summary

The selection of materials for breast augmentation surgery includes breast prosthesis, preoperative examination materials, surgical instrument materials and postoperative nursing materials. According to the needs of patients and doctors' suggestions, selecting appropriate materials can improve the success rate of surgery and postoperative results.
