How to correctly wear the hospital's underwear after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a popular cosmetic surgery, which can increase the size and fullness of the chest by implanting prosthesis or autologous fat. After the surgery, the hospital will usually be equipped with special underwear to provide necessary support and protection, so that the chest can heal better. However, the correct wearing of hospital underwear is crucial to the surgical effect and recovery process. The following will elaborate on how to correctly wear the underwear provided by the hospital after breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.
1. Importance of size selection
First of all, choosing the right size of underwear is very important for the recovery process. Underwear should be close to the chest to provide proper support and reduce the possibility of chest movement. Underwear of too small size will restrict blood circulation and increase the risk of infection, while underwear of too large size cannot provide enough support. Before wearing the underwear provided by the hospital, make sure to measure the bust circumference and cup size correctly, and consult the doctor for advice.
At the same time, the surgical area may swell after breast augmentation surgery, so it is important to choose underwear suitable for the swelling situation. Generally speaking, the underwear provided by the hospital will have adjustable buttons or hook eyes to adapt to the changes in postoperative swelling.
2. Correct way of putting on and taking off
The correct way of putting on and taking off is also the key to ensure that underwear can play its role effectively. First of all, before putting on and taking off your underwear, you should unfasten the buttons or hook eyes of your underwear. In addition, excessive force shall be avoided during threading to avoid stimulation or pulling on the operation area. Try to choose loose and soft underwear fabric to reduce friction on the surgical area.
In addition, pay attention to maintaining the correct posture recommended by the doctor when putting on and taking off. Usually, patients after surgery need to stoop, so when putting on and taking off underwear, they can choose to sit on the bed or chair, and try to avoid overextending their arms and upper body.
3. Regular replacement and cleaning
After breast augmentation surgery, underwear needs to be replaced and cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene and comfort. Postoperative patients often have wound exudation or fetal membrane discharge, so underwear is easy to become dirty. Replacing clean underwear can provide better protection and reduce the risk of infection.
When cleaning underwear, use mild detergent to avoid using irritating cleaning products. It is best to wash by hand to avoid damaging the material and structure of underwear. After washing, it should be dried thoroughly to avoid bacteria reproduction caused by residual water.
4. Follow the doctor's advice
Finally, the use and wearing methods of underwear related to surgery should be carried out according to the doctor's recommendations. Each patient's situation is different. The doctor will give personalized suggestions according to factors such as the operation method, physical condition and recovery process. Therefore, timely communication and following the doctor's instructions are essential.
To sum up, it is very important to correctly wear hospital underwear after breast augmentation surgery for recovery effect. Proper selection of underwear with proper size, correct wearing and taking off methods, regular replacement and cleaning, and good communication with doctors are the keys to ensure that underwear plays its role. By correctly wearing underwear, patients can better protect the surgical area and promote healing and recovery.
