Why optometry is needed in breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is one of the ways that many female friends pursue beauty. Breast prosthesis is implanted through surgery to enlarge the chest, so as to beautify the body and enhance self-confidence. Although breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, doctors usually require optometry before surgery. So why does breast augmentation surgery need optometry? The following will be detailed from four aspects: preoperative preparation, surgical plan formulation, surgical results and postoperative effects.
1、 Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed preoperative examination, including optometry. Optometry is to test the eyes with professional instruments to assess whether there are eye problems such as abnormal diopter and corneal curvature. This is because breast augmentation surgery requires general anesthesia, which has a certain impact on the eyes, and eye diseases may have adverse effects on the surgical results. Eye problems can be found in time through optometry, and corresponding preventive measures can be taken during the operation to ensure the safety and success rate of the operation.
In addition to eye examination, the doctor will also conduct a comprehensive physical examination, including ECG, blood routine examination, etc., to assess whether the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery.
2、 Preparation of operation plan
According to the optometry results, doctors can understand the patient's vision, whether there are myopia, astigmatism and other problems. These conditions will play an important reference role in the formulation of the surgical plan. For example, if the patient has high myopia or astigmatism, the doctor needs to make corresponding adjustments to these problems to ensure the protection and repair of the patient's vision during the surgery. The optometry results also help doctors to select appropriate surgical methods and chest prostheses, and work with patients to develop the most reasonable overall plan to achieve the ideal surgical effect.
In addition, optometry can also be used to assess whether the patient has other eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, etc. These problems also need attention during the operation.
3、 Surgical results
Optometry is an important test in breast augmentation surgery, which provides an important basis for the evaluation of surgical results. Through eye detection, doctors can know whether the patient's vision is affected and whether there are new eye problems. This information is very important for evaluating the safety and effect of surgery, and also helps doctors to adjust and improve the postoperative effect at any time during the follow-up after surgery.
4、 Postoperative effect
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need a period of recovery and recuperation. The optometry results can provide the basis for postoperative vision examination. Through regular review of vision, doctors can timely find and deal with possible complications, such as keratitis, dry eye, etc. In addition, optometry can also evaluate whether the surgery has a certain impact on the eyes, and whether further special treatment and maintenance are needed.
Summary
To sum up, optometry is required to ensure the safety and success rate of breast augmentation surgery. Optometry can evaluate the vision of patients' eyes and the existing eye problems, provide reference for the formulation of the surgery plan, and also provide guidance for the protection and repair during the surgery. In addition, the optometry results can also be used as a reference for the evaluation of surgical results and postoperative effects to ensure the recovery of postoperative vision and eye health of patients.
