Postoperative nursing steps of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can improve the shape and size of the breast by implanting plant or silicone prosthesis. Postoperative nursing is an important link to ensure the operation effect and promote wound healing and recovery. The following will elaborate on the postoperative nursing steps of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: wound care, bra wearing, diet care and regular review.
Wound care
After surgery, wound care is critical to help reduce infection and pain. First, the sterilized bra should be replaced as soon as possible after the operation, and it should be replaced regularly to keep the wound clean. Secondly, apply medicine according to the doctor's suggestions, such as protecting the periumbilical area to prevent irritation and rupture. In addition, avoid bumping or rubbing the wound to avoid infection and affect the recovery speed.
In addition, in the process of wound care, attention should be paid to keeping the surrounding area of the wound dry to prevent the wound from being too wet. Antibacterial and hemostatic drugs can be properly used to help the wound heal. At the same time, avoid using alcohol or irritant drugs to clean the wound to avoid irritation and infection.
Wear a bra
Wearing proper bra is an important step after breast augmentation surgery. After the operation, the doctor will guide the patient to choose the appropriate bra and emphasize the importance of daily wear. First, choose a bra of appropriate size, which cannot be too tight or too loose, so as not to affect the wound recovery or breast shape. Then, wear the bra correctly, avoid pressing the wound or breast, and maintain proper support and comfort.
In addition, the time for wearing a bra after surgery also needs to be mastered. At the initial stage, you may need to wear a bra 24 hours a day after surgery, and gradually reduce the wearing time according to the doctor's recommendations. Avoid not wearing a bra for a long time or using underwear that cannot provide support, so as to avoid breast sagging or affecting the postoperative effect.
Diet and health care
Diet and health care are essential for wound healing and recovery after surgery. First of all, we should follow the doctor's advice and take an appropriate amount of high-quality protein and vitamins to help wound healing and improve immunity. At the same time, too much salt and irritant food should be avoided to avoid swelling and infection.
In addition, adequate water intake should be maintained after surgery to promote metabolism and detoxification. Avoid drinking alcoholic and caffeinated drinks to avoid interfering with wound healing and affecting postoperative effects.
Regular review
Regular reexamination is an important part of postoperative nursing, which can timely understand the wound healing and postoperative effects. After the operation, the doctor will arrange the time for reexamination, and the patient should go to the hospital on time for examination. The doctor will evaluate the breast shape, wound healing and breast sensation, and carry out follow-up treatment and adjustment plans according to the evaluation results.
During regular reexamination, patients can also consult the doctor about postoperative precautions and nursing methods, as well as other questions. The doctor will give reasonable suggestions and guidance according to the individual situation, ensure the postoperative effect, and timely solve the patients' doubts and confusion.
