Breast augmentation is a common plastic surgery, which can improve the shape of women's breasts and make them more plump and straight. Many female friends want to have breast augmentation surgery, but they are not sure how long the surgery will last. The following will elaborate on the time of breast augmentation and breast augmentation surgery from the aspects of preoperative preparation, surgical process, surgical duration and postoperative recovery.
Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation and augmentation surgery, patients need to make some necessary preoperative preparations. First of all, the patient needs to consult and communicate with the plastic surgery hospital to understand the specific situation of the surgery, surgical risks and precautions. The doctor will determine the most suitable surgical plan according to the patient's body shape and expected effect. Next, the patient needs to carry out some necessary examinations, such as blood routine examination, electrocardiogram, etc., to evaluate the safety of the operation. In addition, patients should avoid taking blood thinning drugs, vitamin E and other drugs that may increase the risk of surgery one week before surgery.
The whole preoperative preparation process usually takes 2 weeks, mainly including consultation, examination and communication with doctors.
Operation process
Breast augmentation and augmentation surgery usually adopts the method of breast augmentation prosthesis implantation, which can choose the subaxillary approach or the approach around the areola. During surgery, patients will generally be given local anesthesia or general anesthesia first to ensure painless operation. Then, the doctor will make an incision at the predetermined position and implant the prosthesis into the chest tissue to adjust it to the ideal position. The whole operation process usually takes about 2-3 hours, and the specific time will vary according to the operation site and specific conditions.
Operation duration
The duration of the operation refers to the time from the beginning to the end of the operation. Generally speaking, the duration of breast augmentation surgery is 2-3 hours. This time includes the preparation, operation and patient recovery of the operation, and also takes into account the factors that may need to be adjusted during the operation. The operation lasts for a long time, mainly because the operation requires careful operation to ensure safety and effect.
Postoperative recovery
Postoperative recovery is an important part of breast augmentation surgery. After the operation, the patient needs to rest and care under the guidance of the doctor, and pay attention to the cleaning and protection of the wound. Within one week after the operation, the patient should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, so as not to affect the wound healing and prosthesis fixation. In addition, patients also need to conduct regular reexamination as required by doctors to ensure stable and good surgical results. The whole process of postoperative recovery usually takes 4-6 weeks, during which patients need to pay attention to diet and nutrition, avoid fatigue and maintain a comfortable mood.
To sum up, the time of breast augmentation and augmentation surgery is elaborated from four aspects: preoperative preparation, surgical process, surgical duration and postoperative recovery. Preoperative preparation usually takes 2 weeks, the operation process usually lasts 2-3 hours, and postoperative recovery takes 4-6 weeks. These times are for reference only, and the actual time should be determined according to the individual condition of the patient and the operation plan. If you are interested in breast augmentation surgery, it is recommended to consult a formal plastic surgery hospital and have a detailed communication and understanding with a professional doctor.
