Will stitches taken out in breast augmentation leave scars?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can increase the fullness and shape of the chest by using prostheses or autologous fat. However, when considering breast augmentation surgery, many people are worried about whether there will be scars after surgical suture removal. This issue will be elaborated from different aspects below.
Operation mode
First of all, the way of breast augmentation surgery will directly affect whether there will be scars after suture removal. The common methods of breast augmentation include axillary breast augmentation, breast augmentation around the areola and inframammary groove. Among them, the axillary breast augmentation and breast augmentation around the areola do not need to be operated on the front of the breast, so the scars are relatively insignificant. However, the method of augmentation mammaplasty in the inframammary groove needs to be operated under the breast, so the scar is relatively obvious. However, the technological progress of modern medicine has made the surgical incision smaller and smaller, and the scars after surgery are more and more hidden.
In addition, in the process of surgery, doctors' operating skills will also affect the formation of scars. Professional plastic surgeons will use suture technology to reduce the formation of scar after surgery. They will accurately select the location and method of the incision, and use absorbable suture, so that patients do not need additional treatment after suture removal, and also reduce the risk of scar formation.
individual difference
Everyone's body is different, so their sensitivity to scar after surgical suture removal is also different. Some people's skin is more prone to scars, while others' skin is not. Generally speaking, young and healthy people have a lower risk of scar formation than older, diabetic and other patients. In addition, following the precautions during the recovery period and proper wound care will also reduce the formation of scars.
For people who are prone to scar formation, doctors can evaluate before surgery and provide professional advice. They may recommend other surgical methods, or take other methods to reduce the formation of scars, such as using silicone dressing.
Postoperative care
Correct postoperative care is also the key to reduce scar formation. Doctors usually provide postoperative nursing guidance to patients, including wound cleaning, use of antibiotics to prevent infection, and avoidance of strenuous exercise. Follow the doctor's advice, pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the wound clean and dry, which can effectively reduce the formation of scars.
Summary
Whether or not there will be scars after suture removal in breast augmentation surgery depends mainly on the surgical method, individual differences and postoperative care. The use of underarm breast augmentation or breast augmentation around the areola will reduce the risk of scar formation. Individual differences make everyone have different sensitivity to scars after surgical suture removal, and young and healthy people have lower risk of scar formation. Correct postoperative care can minimize the formation of scars. If the patient is particularly sensitive to scars, the doctor can also recommend other surgical methods or take other methods to reduce the formation of scars.
