Movement restrictions after breast augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation to improve the shape and size of the breast by implanting a prosthesis. Although this kind of surgery is very common in the field of beauty, some activity restrictions need to be strictly observed after surgery. These restrictions help promote wound healing and protect the surgical area to avoid complications.
Weightlifting and strenuous exercise
In a few weeks after breast augmentation surgery, patients should avoid weight lifting and strenuous exercise. These activities will increase the tension of chest muscles, which may cause swelling and pain in the surgical area. In addition, weight lifting and strenuous exercise may increase the risk of prosthesis displacement or implant rupture.
Doctors usually advise patients to avoid these activities within 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. During this period, gradually resume daily activities and light exercise, but be sure to follow the doctor's advice.
Some common activities to avoid include weight lifting, running, high-intensity aerobic exercise and other strenuous exercise. Instead, take a walk, yoga or other light exercise to keep your body active.
Driving and working
After breast augmentation surgery, patients usually need to rest for a few days to recover. During this time, driving and going to work may not be suitable activities.
Within a few days after the operation, the patient may feel tired and uncomfortable, and is not suitable for sitting for a long time. In addition, in the early stage after surgery, activities are limited and it may be impossible to flexibly drive or work.
Doctors usually advise patients to avoid driving and going to work within 7 to 10 days after surgery. During this period, you should keep enough rest to give your body time to recover.
Swimming pool and hot bath
In the weeks after surgery, patients need to avoid soaking in swimming pools and hot baths. This is because bacteria and chemicals in the water may infect the surgical wound and cause complications.
Doctors usually advise patients to avoid these activities within 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. During this period, shower can be resumed gradually, but attention should be paid to keeping the operation area dry and clean.
Selection of underwear and clothing
It is very important to wear proper underwear and clothing in the weeks after surgery. Appropriate underwear can provide support and stabilize the breast, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of the surgical area.
Doctors usually recommend that patients wear specially designed surgical bras within 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. This bra is specially designed in shape, fabric and size to adapt to the breast after surgery. During this period, try to avoid wearing pressured underwear and clothing to avoid unnecessary pressure on the breast.
In addition to proper underwear selection, it is also necessary to avoid too much collision and pressure on the chest, and avoid wearing tight or hard clothes to protect the surgical area.
Summary
The movement restriction after breast augmentation surgery is very important, which can promote the rehabilitation of the surgical area and reduce the occurrence of complications. Weightlifting and strenuous exercise, driving and going to work, swimming pool and hot bath, as well as suitable underwear and clothing choices are all areas that need special attention after breast augmentation. It is critical to follow the doctor's advice and gradually resume activities after surgery. Only patients abide by these restrictions can ensure the lasting and safe operation effect.
