What should Jining Affiliated Hospital avoid after breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can help women improve the shape and appearance of the chest. However, special attention should be paid to postoperative care and maintenance after operation to avoid complications or affect the operation effect. The following are some things that Jining Affiliated Hospital reminds us to avoid after breast augmentation surgery.

Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor

In a period of time after surgery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor to avoid impact, compression and friction on the chest, affecting wound healing and chest recovery. Generally, doctors will advise patients not to take high-intensity physical exercises such as running, weight lifting, swimming, etc. within 3-4 weeks after surgery. Patients can choose some mild exercises, such as walking and yoga, which will help improve blood circulation and postoperative recovery.

In addition, patients should avoid maintaining the same posture or bending, squatting and jumping for a long time to avoid compression and pulling on the chest and increasing wound tension. In daily life, patients should avoid carrying heavy objects and excessive force to prevent unnecessary pressure on the chest.

Avoid corsets and tights

After surgery, patients should avoid wearing corsets and too tight clothes during recovery, because these clothes may compress and pull the chest, affecting the wound healing and surgical effect. Corsets and tights will not only cause discomfort to the chest after surgery, but also may lead to wound dehiscence or other complications.

Doctors usually advise patients to use special chest care products after surgery, such as fixed bra or pressure bra. These products can provide proper chest support and protection, promote wound healing, and help shape the chest.

Avoid exposure to sunlight and high temperature

Postoperative chest is sensitive to external stimuli and environmental changes, so patients should avoid long-term exposure to sunlight and high temperature for a period of time. Sunlight and high temperature environment may cause chest redness, swelling and pain, and even affect wound healing.

Patients should avoid going out for a long time in hot weather as far as possible, and avoid frequent access to environments with large temperature difference, such as sauna, hot bath, swimming pool and other places. If you must go out, use a sunshade and wear breathable and comfortable clothes to avoid direct contact with the sun.

Avoid smoking and drinking

Smoking and drinking have adverse effects on postoperative recovery and wound healing, so postoperative patients should try to avoid smoking and drinking. Smoking will cause vasoconstriction, reduce blood supply and oxygen supply, and affect the speed of wound healing. Drinking alcohol may lead to poor blood circulation and increase the risk of postoperative infection and other complications.

If the patient cannot quit smoking or limit drinking, he should stop smoking and drinking at least for a period of time after surgery. This can minimize the risk of complications and promote postoperative recovery.

In a word, Jining Affiliated Hospital reminds patients with breast augmentation surgery to follow postoperative care and avoid some behaviors that are not conducive to wound healing and surgical effect. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, wear corsets and tight clothing, exposure to sunlight and high temperature, and smoking and drinking are all aspects that should be paid attention to after surgery. Only by following these suggestions reasonably can patients recover better and obtain satisfactory surgical results.
