Where is breast augmentation surgery stitched?
Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular plastic surgery at present, which can make women have plump and firm breasts. However, during the recovery after surgery, patients may be concerned about one question: where is the suture removed for breast augmentation surgery? Next, we will elaborate on this issue from four aspects: the operation process, the time of suture removal, the selection of hospitals and the precautions for suture removal.
Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation to improve the shape and size of the breast by implanting breast augmentation prosthesis in the chest. The operation usually needs to be carried out in the operating room. The doctor will first carry out general anesthesia, and then make incision at the lower edge of the breast, around the areola or armpit. Later, doctors will select suitable breast augmentation prosthesis according to the needs and actual conditions of patients, and implant it into the breast tissue or chest muscle below the breast.
Suture removal is the last and very important step in the whole operation process. The suture removal is usually performed 7 to 10 days after the operation.
Removal time
The time of suture removal is determined according to the specific operation mode and the patient's condition. In breast augmentation surgery, there are generally two suture removal methods: suture fixation and suture absorption.
Suture fixation means that the suture used in the operation needs to be removed after the recovery period, which usually needs to be done 7 to 10 days after the operation. When removing the suture, the doctor will first decide whether to re suture the wound. If the wound is well healed, the suture can be removed directly; If the wound has adverse reaction or infection, it needs to be sutured again.
The suture absorption method is that the suture used in the operation can be absorbed by itself without manual suture removal. This method is relatively simple, and patients can save the process of suture removal. Generally, line absorption takes 4-6 weeks to complete.
Hospital selection
It is very important to choose a suitable hospital for breast augmentation surgery. First, ensure that the hospital has relevant qualifications and certification, and has a professional plastic surgery team. Secondly, we should know whether the equipment and technology of the hospital are advanced. Finally, we can understand the strength and service quality of the hospital by checking the reputation of the hospital and previous patient evaluations. When choosing a hospital, we should consider many aspects and find a suitable hospital to ensure the safety and effect of the operation.
Precautions for wire removal
After suture removal, patients should pay attention to the following:
1. The wound after suture removal should be kept clean and dry to avoid contact with water or bathing.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, and try to keep a rest and light activities.
3. Visit again regularly and accept the doctor's inspection and guidance.
4. Keep a good attitude and eating habits to promote wound healing.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery usually needs to be performed 7 to 10 days after the surgery when removing the suture, but there are also ways to absorb the wire without manual suture removal. It is very important to select a suitable hospital for surgery, and factors such as hospital qualification, equipment and reputation need to be considered. Pay attention to wound protection and body recovery after suture removal, and follow the doctor's instructions for regular follow-up. Through the correct suture removal and recovery process, the patient can get a beautiful chest contour.
