What examinations should be done for breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which aims to increase the size and shape of the breast by implanting breast augmentation prosthesis, so as to beautify the breast curve. However, before breast augmentation surgery, doctors usually require patients to carry out a series of examinations to ensure their health and smooth operation. This article will elaborate on the examination before breast augmentation surgery from many aspects.
1. Breast related examination
Before breast augmentation surgery, breast related examinations are essential. First of all, breast B ultrasound or mammography can help doctors understand the internal conditions of the breast and exclude diseases such as breast hyperplasia and cysts. In addition, for women over 35 years old, mammography (mammography) is also required to exclude the possibility of breast cancer. Finally, breast hyperplasia is often accompanied by abnormal estrogen levels, so corresponding hormone tests are also required.
In general, these breast related examinations can ensure that patients have no breast disease and reduce the risk of surgery.
2. Cardiac and pulmonary function examination
Cardiac and pulmonary function tests are very important for preoperative evaluation. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common method to check the heart function, which can evaluate whether the patient's heart is normal and whether there is heart disease. At the same time, through chest X-ray examination, the patient's lung condition can be understood and lung diseases can be excluded.
Breast augmentation surgery requires general anesthesia, so patients must have good cardiopulmonary function to ensure the safety and smooth operation.
3. Mammography and CT examination
Mammography and CT examination are important auxiliary examinations for breast augmentation surgery, which are mainly used to measure the size and shape of patients' breasts and provide reference for surgery. Among them, mammography can understand the three-dimensional structure of the breast by taking pictures from different angles, and select suitable breast implants by measuring the breast size. CT examination can more accurately evaluate the breast tissue structure and blood vessel distribution.
Through these imaging examinations, doctors can better understand the breast structure and morphological characteristics of patients, so as to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of surgical plans.
4. Other necessary inspections
In addition to the above routine examinations, other necessary examinations may be required according to the individual conditions of the patient. For example, for pregnant or lactating women, it is necessary to determine whether the breast is in a stable physiological state; For patients who have suffered from certain diseases, it is necessary to coordinate with doctors in other departments for corresponding examination and evaluation.
Through comprehensive examination, the safety and success rate of breast augmentation surgery can be ensured, and other complications caused by the surgery can also be avoided. Therefore, before deciding to accept breast augmentation surgery, patients should try to understand in detail and cooperate with the doctor's inspection requirements.
Summary
Examination before breast augmentation surgery usually includes breast related examination, heart and lung function examination, mammography and CT examination, and other necessary examinations. These examinations can ensure that the patient has no breast disease and normal cardiopulmonary function, and provide scientific basis for surgery. Comprehensive examination can ensure the safety and success rate of the operation and reduce the risk and complications of patients.
