However, postoperative care and precautions are very important to ensure the success of the operation and smooth recovery. This article will elaborate on the matters needing attention after breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: postoperative nursing, diet conditioning, activity restriction and regular review.
Postoperative care
1. Adequate rest: Breast augmentation surgery is a large-scale operation, and the body needs to recover after the operation, so the patient needs sufficient rest to help the body recover. It is very important to get enough sleep and avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Keep the wound clean and dry: The wound after surgery needs to be cleaned regularly, but it should not be wiped hard to avoid infection. It is also important to keep the wound dry. You can use gauze with good permeability for dressing.
3. Pay attention to diet: patients may have a bad appetite after surgery, but they still need to maintain a balanced diet and take more food rich in protein and vitamins, which is conducive to physical recovery.
Diet conditioning
1. Drink more water: postoperative patients need to drink more water to maintain water balance, which is conducive to wound healing and metabolism.
2. Avoid spicy food: the chest will be more sensitive after surgery, and avoiding spicy food can reduce irritation and discomfort.
3. Control of salt intake: too much salt intake will lead to water retention in the body and increase the risk of chest edema, so patients need to pay attention to control salt intake after surgery.
Activity restrictions

2. Pay attention to the sleeping position: when sleeping, try to choose the side lying position to reduce the pressure on the chest after surgery. Avoid sleeping face down to avoid chest discomfort.
3. Preparation for technical sports: If the patient is engaged in some technical sports, such as swimming, table tennis, etc., they need to wait until the healing is well and the doctor agrees to restart after the operation.
Regular review
1. Regular review is the key to ensure the success and recovery of breast augmentation surgery. Patients need to go to the hospital regularly for reexamination according to the doctor's suggestions to ensure the wound healing and the progress of body recovery.
2. If there are abnormal conditions after surgery, such as wound infection, persistent swelling, etc., the patient needs to seek medical advice in time to avoid delayed treatment and consequences.
3. Regular reexamination can also help doctors to evaluate the results after surgery. If necessary, doctors can put forward further suggestions and adjustments.
