How long does Quanzhou Xihua Plastic Surgery Hospital need to restore breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the shape of the chest by implanting a prosthesis. Quanzhou Xihua Plastic Surgery Hospital is a professional plastic surgery hospital, providing breast augmentation surgery services for the majority of patients. After breast augmentation surgery, the patient needs a certain recovery time to gradually restore the surgical site to a good state. The following will elaborate on the recovery time of breast augmentation surgery in Quanzhou Xihua Plastic Hospital from four aspects: postoperative pain, activity limitation, incision healing and postoperative nursing.

Postoperative pain

The degree of pain after breast augmentation surgery varies from person to person. Generally speaking, the postoperative pain will peak 2-3 days after the surgery, and then gradually reduce. The hospital will prescribe appropriate analgesics to patients to help relieve postoperative pain. After one week, the pain will be significantly reduced, but this does not mean that the patient is fully recovered. The patient needs to continue to take medicine and take corresponding rest according to the doctor's instructions.

After 2-3 weeks, the patient's postoperative pain will almost disappear. At this time, the patient can gradually resume daily life and perform some mild activities. However, it is still necessary to avoid strenuous exercise or lifting heavy objects to avoid excessive pressure on the incision.

About 6 weeks after the operation, the scar has basically healed, and the swelling and pain around the incision will gradually disappear. At this time, the patient can resume normal work and life, and can also start moderate exercise, but still want to avoid excessive weight bearing and strenuous exercise.

Activity restrictions

Quanzhou Xihua Plastic Surgery Hospital recommends that patients stay absolutely in bed for rest within the first week after surgery, and avoid lowering their heads and lifting heavy objects. At this time, the incision area is still in the initial healing stage and needs to be fully rested and protected to avoid affecting the healing of the incision and causing complications.

One week after the operation, the patient can gradually return to normal daily life. However, excessive activity and strenuous exercise should be avoided, and excessive pressure and friction on the chest should be avoided, so as not to affect the fixation of the implant and the healing of the incision.

One month after the operation, the patient can take moderate exercise and activities, but it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and lifting heavy objects to avoid unnecessary pressure on the chest implants.

Incision healing

After breast augmentation surgery, Quanzhou Xihua Plastic Hospital will use special suture to close the incision to reduce obvious scars. The wound healing needs a certain time. Generally speaking, the suture is removed within one week after the operation, and the wound is basically healed 2-4 weeks later, but the scar still needs a certain time to completely fade.

In order to reduce the risk of incision infection and scar deformity, patients need to pay attention to the cleaning and nursing of the incision after surgery. Keep the incision dry to avoid moisture and infection. At the same time, avoid being impacted and rubbed by external forces, and avoid stimulating the incision, so as to promote the healing of the incision.

Postoperative care

Quanzhou Xihua Plastic Surgery Hospital will provide patients with detailed postoperative nursing guidance after surgery, including incision cleaning, incision care, diet conditioning, etc. Patients need to be nursed according to the doctor's instructions to keep the incision clean and dry to avoid infection and scar deformity.

In addition, patients should maintain a good psychological state after surgery, avoid excessive anxiety and tension, and pay attention to rest and diet to promote postoperative recovery and rehabilitation.

To sum up, the recovery time of breast augmentation surgery in Quanzhou Xihua Plastic Hospital mainly depends on individual differences and surgical conditions. Generally speaking, postoperative pain and activity limitation lasts for 1-2 weeks, and wound healing and scar regression take 4-6 weeks. Patients need to closely follow the doctor's guidance for postoperative care and recovery, in order to achieve the ideal plastic effect.
