What should we pay attention to after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can help women to obtain ideal chest shape. However, some patients may have breast augmentation failure or complications, which requires breast augmentation surgery. The success of breast augmentation surgery depends not only on the technical level of doctors, but also on the postoperative care and precautions of patients. This article will elaborate on the matters needing attention after breast augmentation surgery from many aspects.
Postoperative rest and activities
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to rest fully and avoid strenuous activities and overexertion. Within a few days after the operation, the patient may feel chest pain, swelling and discomfort. At this time, excessive activity, especially upper limb force, should be avoided. The patient can properly carry out some mild activities, such as walking, but not strenuous exercise. Within 6 weeks after operation, patients should avoid lifting weights or performing strenuous exercises to avoid affecting the effect of chest repair.
In addition, the patient should keep a comfortable position when sleeping, and avoid sleeping on his side, so as not to cause compression and force on his chest. You can choose to use special sleep underwear to support your chest and reduce the discomfort of your chest.
Postoperative diet
Postoperative diet is very important for the recovery of breast augmentation surgery. Patients should follow the doctor's advice, choose light and digestible food, increase protein intake, and help wound healing and body recovery. In addition, patients should avoid eating spicy, irritant food and alcohol to avoid stimulating the gastrointestinal tract and affecting the surgical effect.
Water intake in diet is also very important. Patients should maintain adequate water supply, which helps the body metabolize waste and maintain good blood circulation.
Wound care
Postoperative wound care is one of the matters needing special attention after breast augmentation surgery. Patients should follow the doctor's instructions, clean the wound and change the dressing on time, and keep the wound dry and clean. At the initial stage of wound healing, patients should avoid touching or rubbing the wound to avoid infection or other complications.
In addition, patients need to comply with the doctor's requirements and take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs on time to prevent infection and alleviate pain and discomfort. In case of redness, swelling, exudation, fever and other abnormalities in the wound, consult the doctor in time and deal with them.
Regular follow-up and psychological adjustment
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to return regularly according to the doctor's recommendations. The doctor will check and evaluate the patients according to their postoperative conditions to find and deal with potential problems in a timely manner. The patient should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and nursing plan, observe the time of return visit, and conduct regular reexamination.
In addition, patients also need to pay attention to psychological adjustment after surgery. Breast augmentation surgery may have a certain impact on patients' psychology, such as the adjustment of their own image, the gap between expectations and reality. Patients should communicate with doctors and seek professional psychological consultation and support to maintain a good attitude and mood and promote postoperative recovery.
Summary

Patients should pay attention to rest and activities, reasonable diet, wound care and regular return visits, and pay attention to psychological adjustment. By following the doctor's advice and nursing plan, patients can achieve good repair effect, improve self-confidence, and obtain satisfactory chest shape.
