What should we pay attention to after breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of operation to improve the breast shape by implanting a prosthesis. After surgery, patients need to do some special care and precautions to ensure the effect of surgery and avoid complications. The following will elaborate on the matters needing attention after breast augmentation from four aspects.
Postoperative care
After the operation, the patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions for nursing during the recovery period. First, keep the wound clean to avoid infection. The patient should clean the wound regularly and use the disinfectant recommended by the doctor for disinfection. Secondly, we should avoid intense physical activity and strenuous exercise, so as not to affect the wound healing. It is also necessary to wear a proper bra according to the doctor's advice to maintain the stability and compression of the breast and promote recovery.
In addition, postoperative care also includes adjustment of diet and sleep. Patients should maintain good eating habits and take in enough nutrients to promote wound healing. At the same time, to ensure adequate sleep can improve postoperative recovery.
Pay attention to the wound
Patients need to observe the wound every day to find out whether there are redness, swelling, exudation, pain and other problems. In case of any abnormality, contact the doctor for further inspection and treatment. In addition, abnormal sensation is also a concern, such as breast numbness or pain, which may be a manifestation of nerve damage, and should be treated in time.
In addition, patients need to avoid direct hand contact with the wound to avoid wound infection. If the wound needs to be cleaned, use the methods and tools recommended by the doctor to avoid the use of irritating substances.
Pay attention to lifestyle and health care
After the operation, attention should be paid to adjusting the lifestyle and health care habits to promote recovery and maintain the effect of the operation. First of all, smoking and drinking should be stopped and restricted, because smoking and drinking will affect wound healing and breast health. Secondly, avoid excessive exposure to the sun, especially in the first few months after the operation, to avoid pigmentation of the wound.
In addition, proper movement is necessary, but it is necessary to avoid intense movement and activities subject to collision. Proper exercise can promote blood circulation and lymph flow, and help reduce edema and muscle stiffness.
Regular follow-up and examination
After surgery, patients need to have regular follow-up visits and examinations according to the doctor's requirements to evaluate the surgical effect and find potential problems. During the follow-up visit, the doctor will conduct breast examination, ultrasound or X-ray examination to ensure the stability of the prosthesis and the health of the breast. In addition, regular follow-up is also an important way to timely find and deal with postoperative complications.
During the follow-up visit after surgery, the patient can also consult the doctor about adjusting the surgical effect, such as the shape and size of the breast. Doctors will provide professional advice according to the needs and actual situation of patients.
