Problems and precautions after breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation to improve the appearance of the chest by implanting a prosthesis or transplanting tissue. Although the current breast augmentation surgery technology is very mature, there are still some potential problems that need patients' attention after surgery. This article will elaborate on the problems after breast augmentation surgery from four aspects, and provide relevant precautions.
1. Infection and bleeding
Postoperative infection and bleeding are common complications of breast augmentation surgery. Infection may lead to wound nonunion or prosthesis displacement after surgery, and serious infection may also lead to abscess formation. Bleeding can lead to increased chest swelling and pain after surgery. In order to prevent infection and bleeding, patients should try to avoid strenuous exercise, keep enough rest and sleep, use antibiotics and hemostatic drugs according to the doctor's advice, and regularly go to the hospital for re examination.
In addition, patients should also pay attention to the cleaning and nursing of the wound after the operation, avoid touching the wound, and try to avoid sweat and water splashing on the wound. If there are abnormal conditions such as postoperative fever, wound redness and swelling, and obvious increase in pain, consult the doctor in a timely manner.
2. Prosthesis related problems
Prosthesis commonly used in breast augmentation surgery include saline prosthesis and silicone prosthesis. Postoperative patients may have problems such as displacement of prosthesis position, abnormal sensation or prosthesis rupture. In order to prevent these problems, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise or external force collision, follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance, and regularly review, so as to timely find and deal with potential problems.
In case of prosthesis displacement, the patient should seek medical advice in time and receive corresponding treatment. The abnormal sensation of the prosthesis may include the decrease of touch or pain or allergic reaction. It is necessary to report the symptoms to the doctor, who will make corresponding treatment according to the situation. If the prosthesis breaks, it needs to be repaired or replaced by surgery.
3. Scar formation and breast morphological changes
Breast augmentation surgery will leave certain scars on the chest skin. The formation of postoperative scars is related to individual differences and postoperative care. In order to reduce the formation of scars, patients should use postoperative care drugs and massage techniques to promote wound healing and reduce scars. However, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate scars, and patients should maintain appropriate psychology and expectations.
In addition, breast shape will also change after breast augmentation surgery. Postoperative breast morphology may be affected by many factors, including individual differences, preoperative breast status and surgical methods. The patient should treat the change of breast shape rationally, follow the doctor's advice, take regular reexamination, and actively cooperate in postoperative adjustment.
4. Psychological and life adaptation problems
Breast augmentation surgery is not only a physical change, but also has a certain impact on patients' psychology and life. Postoperative patients may have emotional fluctuations, anxiety, dissatisfaction with the surgical effect and other issues. In order to better deal with these problems, patients can reduce their psychological burden by communicating with doctors, seeking psychological support, and communicating with others.
In terms of life adaptation, patients need to pay attention to the reasonable arrangement in the recovery period, follow the doctor's guidance, avoid strenuous activities, maintain a balanced diet, and improve immunity. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to the normal maintenance of the breast, pay attention to the clothing and chest care after breast augmentation surgery to maintain the stability of the postoperative effect.
Summary
Although breast augmentation surgery can improve the appearance of the chest, it also has some risks and problems. Infection and bleeding are common complications. Prosthesis related problems may lead to displacement, paresthesia or rupture. Scar formation and breast morphological changes should also be noted. In addition, psychological and life adaptation issues also need attention. Patients should closely communicate with the doctor after the operation, follow the doctor's guidance, and do a good job in postoperative nursing and adjustment to obtain satisfactory breast augmentation effect.
