What preparations should be made before breast augmentation repair?
Breast augmentation repair is a common plastic surgery, which can help those patients who have complications or unsatisfactory results after breast augmentation to restore and improve the appearance of the chest. However, before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to do some preparations to ensure the smooth operation and postoperative recovery. This article will elaborate from four aspects: preoperative examination, preoperative preparation, surgical selection and psychological preparation.
Preoperative examination
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to undergo a series of preoperative examinations to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for surgery. Common preoperative examinations include breast ultrasound, mammography and blood examination. Breast ultrasound can help doctors understand the condition of breast tissue of patients and determine whether it is necessary to replace implants or repair. Mammography can detect the position of implants and whether there are abnormalities, providing more accurate guidance for surgery. Blood tests can assess the patient's blood function and health status to ensure the safety of surgery.
In addition, patients also need to have an electrocardiogram and physical examination to exclude cardiovascular disease and other potential health risks. The doctor will evaluate the operation risk of the patient according to the examination results and provide corresponding suggestions.
Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to make some preoperative preparations to ensure the smooth operation. First, the patient needs to provide a detailed medical history and surgical history, and inform the doctor whether there is a potential history of allergy or drug allergy. The doctor will adjust the operation plan and drug use according to the patient's condition.
Secondly, patients need to stop smoking, drinking and other bad habits to reduce the risk of surgery and promote postoperative recovery. Smoking will affect blood circulation and wound healing. Drinking alcohol will increase the risk of surgery and postoperative discomfort. Therefore, it is necessary to completely quit smoking and drinking at least two weeks before surgery.
In addition, patients also need to pay attention to diet adjustment and preoperative fasting. Diet adjustment can help patients to reduce weight and prepare for the nutrition needed for surgery, and avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. Preoperative fasting is to avoid anesthesia related risks during the operation. Generally, fasting occurs within 6 hours before the operation, and only a small amount of water is allowed to drink.
Surgical selection
Breast augmentation surgery is based on the specific needs and conditions of patients to choose the appropriate surgical methods and implant types. Before the operation, the doctor will communicate with the patient in detail to understand the patient's expectations and needs, and determine the operation plan according to the situation of breast tissue and the difficulty of the operation.
Common breast augmentation surgery includes implant replacement, chest tissue reconstruction and breast correction. Implant replacement is applicable to those patients who have problems with or need to replace implants. Breast shape and size can be changed through surgery. Breast tissue reconstruction is applicable to those patients whose breast tissue is damaged or whose surgical effect is unsatisfactory. They can reconstruct the breast shape and contour through surgery. Breast correction is applicable to those patients with sagging or asymmetric breasts, and breast position can be raised and corrected through surgery.
Psychological preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to make some psychological preparations. First of all, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and effects of surgery and clarify their expectations and needs. The results of surgery may vary depending on individual differences, and patients should have correct expectations and psychological preparation.
Secondly, patients need to fully understand the whole process of surgery and postoperative recovery, and make adequate psychological preparation. There may be some discomfort and difficulties during the operation, and recovery after the operation also requires some time and patience. Patients should actively face various emotions and difficulties before and after surgery through communication with doctors and others and psychological self adjustment.
In short, breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that needs careful preparation. Before surgery, patients need to undergo preoperative examination, preoperative preparation, surgical selection and psychological preparation. Only by making these preparations, can we ensure the smooth operation and the satisfactory results after the operation.
