How long does breast augmentation take?
With the development of society, more and more women begin to pay attention to their appearance and image. Breast augmentation surgery has become a common way of cosmetic surgery, which can improve the shape of the chest and make women have a fuller and more beautiful chest. So, how long does breast augmentation take? Let's introduce it in detail from several aspects.
Preparation before operation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to make a series of preparations. First of all, we need to go to the hospital for an interview and communicate our expectations and requirements with the doctor in detail. Then, the doctor will develop a personalized surgical plan according to the patient's physical condition and expected effect. Next, the patient also needs to carry out various physical examinations to ensure that the physical condition is suitable for surgery. These preparations generally take 1 to 2 weeks.
In addition, some special precautions should be observed before surgery. For example, stop taking blood thinning drugs and anticoagulants, avoid eating saturated fat and high-fat foods, and avoid drinking and smoking. The time for these preparations varies from one to two weeks depending on individual circumstances.
Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed in the operating room. Before the operation, the patient will receive local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The operation time varies according to the individual condition and the method of breast augmentation. For example, common breast augmentation methods include implantation of silicone prosthesis and fat transplantation. Breast augmentation with silicone prosthesis generally takes 1 to 2 hours, while fat transplantation takes a relatively long time, which may take 2 to 3 hours.
During the operation, the doctor will perform incision and implant prosthesis according to the predetermined operation plan. The incision position is generally selected around the areola, armpit or cleavage to reduce the scar after surgery. Then, doctors will inject silicone prosthesis or fat into the chest to adjust the shape and size to make the chest look fuller and more natural.
Postoperative recovery and effect
After the operation, the patient needs to be recovered and nursed under the guidance of the doctor. Generally, patients need to stay in hospital for one day to ensure safety and recovery during surgery. After discharge, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for postoperative care and regular follow-up.
The recovery period after surgery varies according to individual conditions, but it usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. During this period, the patient needs to rest well, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, and keep the wound clean and dry. Over time, the chest will gradually recover to the final shape and achieve the desired effect.
