Shanghai Jialong Chest Hospital: How long does it take for the chest plastic surgery to recover?

Chest plastic surgery is a kind of surgery that can change the shape, size and contour of the chest to meet the aesthetic requirements of women on their own chest. As a well-known plastic surgery hospital in Shanghai, Shanghai Jialong Chest Hospital has rich clinical experience and professional medical team, and has won a good reputation in the field of breast surgery. Among the patients who are considering undergoing thoracic plastic surgery, a common concern is how long it will take to fully recover after surgery. This article will elaborate from four aspects: the recovery of surgical wounds, the dissipation of congestion, the disappearance of swelling and the healing of scars.

Surgical wound recovery

In chest plastic surgery, doctors usually operate through the incision around the nipple, under the armpit or at the bottom of the breast. The recovery of surgical wound is the first step of plastic surgery recovery. Generally speaking, there will be some pain and discomfort in a few days after the operation, but it can be alleviated by the analgesic drugs prescribed by the doctor. The wound will be changed a few days after the operation. As time goes by, the wound will gradually heal. Usually, about one month after the operation, the wound healing is basically completed.

The recovery of surgical wound is not only related to the operation itself, but also related to individual differences, preoperative maintenance, postoperative nursing and other factors. In order to promote the recovery of the wound, patients need to pay attention to the rest and diet after surgery, and avoid strenuous activities and eating spicy and stimulating food.

Blood stasis dissipates and swelling subsides

After chest plastic surgery, local congestion and swelling will occur due to the stimulation of the surgical wound and the operation process. Stasis usually dissipates within a few days after surgery, while swelling takes longer. The speed of blood stasis and swelling regression is related to individual differences, surgical methods and postoperative care. Generally speaking, congestion dissipates 1-2 weeks after surgery, and swelling will take 1-2 months or even longer to completely subside.

In order to accelerate the dissipation of congestion and swelling, patients can massage their breasts properly, use ice compress and warm compress. In addition, it is also very important to follow the doctor's advice, carry out reexamination and postoperative care on time.

Scar healing

After chest plastic surgery, scars will be left at the incision. The healing process of scars varies greatly from person to person. Most people's scars will gradually fade a few months after surgery, and eventually they will be basically fused with the surrounding skin. A few people may have scar hyperplasia or pigmentation and need further treatment.

In order to promote the recovery of scars, patients can do a good job in postoperative wound care, avoid sun exposure and excessive stimulation, and use scar repair products at the right time.

Summary

Shanghai Jialong Chest Hospital is a hospital specializing in chest plastic surgery. Its medical team has rich clinical experience and professional technical level. The recovery time of thoracic plastic surgery is related to the factors such as the recovery of surgical wound, the disappearance of congestion, the disappearance of swelling, and the healing of scar. Generally speaking, it takes about one month to recover the surgical wound, more than 1-2 months to dissipate the congestion and swelling, and several months to heal the scar. In the process of postoperative recovery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to rest, diet conditioning and postoperative care to promote recovery and obtain satisfactory plastic effect.
