Does breast augmentation surgery require hospitalization?
With the continuous progress of science and technology and the change of social concepts, breast augmentation surgery has gradually become a common plastic surgery. For those who want to improve the shape of the chest, it is very important to know the details of the operation. One of the common questions is, does breast augmentation surgery require hospitalization? The following is a detailed description of this problem from four aspects, namely, surgical procedures, surgical methods, postoperative care and accidents.
1. Operation procedure
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery, which usually needs to be performed in the operating room. The whole operation usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the operation and the doctor's experience. Surgical procedures usually include local anesthesia or general anesthesia, preoperative marking, surgical incision, selection of implants and determination of implantation position. During the whole operation, the patient is usually in a conscious state.
After the operation, the doctor will sew the wound and carry out necessary treatment to ensure the hygiene and beauty of the operation area. After completing the surgical procedure, the patient will be transferred to the recovery room for observation and monitoring.
2. Operation method
There are two main methods of breast augmentation surgery: breast implants and autologous fat transplantation.
Breast implant augmentation is to increase the volume of the chest by implanting silicone or saline bags under the pectoralis major muscle. This method usually requires observation and recovery after surgery, and requires limited hospital stay. In general, silicone breast augmentation surgery requires about 1 to 2 days in hospital, while breast augmentation surgery with saline bags usually does not require hospitalization.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation is to extract the patient's own fat and inject it into the chest to achieve the effect of breast augmentation. This method is relatively more natural, but the operation takes longer and is more difficult. Hospital observation is needed for 1 to 2 days after surgery to ensure the survival of adipocytes and postoperative recovery.
3. Postoperative nursing
Postoperative care is required after breast augmentation surgery, including trauma treatment, pain relief, infection prevention and wound maintenance.
In the first few days after the operation, patients may experience chest swelling, pain, congestion and other discomfort. Doctors usually prescribe appropriate analgesics, and at the same time require patients to keep rest and avoid strenuous exercise and weight bearing activities. The doctor will also provide antibiotics to prevent infection, and give patients detailed postoperative nursing guidance.
Within a few weeks after the operation, the patient needs to return to the clinic for reexamination regularly, and the doctor will give corresponding treatment and guidance according to the specific situation of the patient. If the wound recovers smoothly without complications, the patient can gradually resume normal life and work.
4. Accidents
Although the risk of breast augmentation surgery is relatively low, there are still some risks. The possible complications include infection, bleeding, prosthesis rupture, and unsatisfactory postoperative chest shape. In case of any abnormal symptoms, the patient should seek medical advice and inform the doctor in time.
Some complicated breast augmentation surgery may require longer hospital stay, and patients need to receive longer observation and care after surgery. When selecting hospitals and doctors, patients should choose experienced professional hospitals and doctors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery usually needs to be performed in the operating room, and the operation time is about 1 to 2 hours. The surgical methods include breast augmentation with implants and autologous fat transplantation. The implants may require hospital stay for 1 to 2 days, while autologous fat transplantation usually requires hospital stay for 1 to 2 days. Postoperative care is required, including pain relief, infection prevention and wound maintenance. Although the risk of breast augmentation surgery is relatively low, there are still some risks. Patients should choose experienced professional hospitals and doctors for surgery.
