What should we pay attention to after breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery is one of the cosmetic surgery that has attracted more and more attention from women in recent years. It can increase the fullness and shape of the chest by implanting prosthesis or patients' own fat. However, postoperative care and precautions are equally important to ensure the success of the operation and smooth recovery. The following will elaborate on the matters needing attention after breast augmentation from four aspects.
Postoperative care
Correct nursing after breast augmentation is one of the keys to the success of the operation. There will be pain and discomfort after the operation. The doctor will prescribe corresponding analgesic drugs according to the actual situation and take them according to the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, the patient needs to keep rest, avoid strenuous movements and exercises, and avoid overexerting or lifting the arm too high. Patients should wear pressure clothing correctly, and try to avoid chest shower when bathing to avoid infection. In addition, regularly go to the hospital for inspection, follow the doctor's guidance, and timely deal with abnormal conditions, such as redness, swelling, pain, fever and other symptoms.
Postoperative chest massage is also an important part. Chest massage can help the chest shape recover better and help slow down the formation of scars. Before massage, professional massage lotion or pure vegetable oil can be used. The patient should gently massage the chest, from bottom to top, from inside to outside, to avoid overexertion. Generally speaking, a gentle massage can be started one week after the operation.
In addition, patients also need to pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the wound after surgery, and try to avoid contact with water in the first few days after surgery. If there are glandular processes or blisters on the wound, do not treat it by yourself or wipe it with a cotton swab to avoid infection. Follow the doctor's advice on dressing change, and change the dressing regularly after surgery.
Diet and living habits
The postoperative diet and living habits also need to be paid attention to by patients. Within a few days after the operation, the diet should be easy to digest and high in protein. You can choose light liquid food, and eat separately to avoid overeating at one time. At the same time, try to avoid eating stimulating and spicy food, as well as drinking and smoking. These poor diet and living habits may prolong the recovery period and increase the risk of postoperative complications.
In addition, it is also very important to adjust life schedule reasonably. After surgery, patients need to keep enough sleep to avoid staying up late and overwork. When sleeping, the correct sleeping position is also very important. It is recommended to lie on the back or side to avoid pressing the chest.
Review and observation
The purpose of postoperative reexamination and observation is to timely understand the postoperative recovery and find out whether there are complications. Generally speaking, reexamination is required one week, one month, half a year and one year after the operation. The doctor will make specific arrangements according to the patient's situation. During the reexamination, the doctor will check the wound healing of the patient, whether the chest shape meets the expectations, whether there is infection and rejection reaction, etc. Patients can also reflect their feelings and confusion after surgery to the doctor for better guidance and advice.
Psychological adjustment
Breast augmentation surgery is an important change for patients, so psychological adjustment is needed. Patients need to have sufficient psychological preparation, understand their own expectations and goals, and fully understand the physical and psychological changes that surgery may bring. Fully communicate with the doctor before the operation, and put forward their own needs and expectations to the doctor to obtain reasonable and satisfactory results. After surgery, patients may have mood fluctuations, such as anxiety, loss, pride, etc., which need the support and understanding of family members and doctors.
In a word, the precautions after breast augmentation include postoperative nursing, diet and living habits, reexamination and observation, and psychological adjustment. Attention to these aspects can help patients recover better and achieve ideal results. However, postoperative care and recovery vary from person to person. It is recommended that patients consult a doctor before surgery and develop a reasonable recovery plan according to their actual situation.
