Specific steps of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as breast augmentation surgery, is a plastic surgery that increases the size and shape of the breast by implanting breast implants. The specific steps of breast augmentation surgery will be introduced in detail below.
Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to consult and evaluate with plastic surgeons in detail. The doctor will carefully understand the patient's expectations and needs, and evaluate the breast shape, skin elasticity and physical health of the patient. Preoperative preparation also includes medical examination, blood examination and chest imaging examination to ensure that the patient is suitable for surgery.
After determining the operation plan, the doctor will discuss the details of the operation with the patient and answer the patient's possible doubts and concerns. The doctor will also inform the patient of precautions before and after the operation, such as stopping taking certain drugs before the operation, fasting on the day of the operation, etc.
Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and the operation time is about 1-2 hours.
First, the doctor will mark according to the surgical plan discussed with the patient. These marks will be used to guide the operation during the surgery to ensure that the breast shape and position expected by the patient are achieved.
Later, the doctor will make an incision at the lower edge of the breast or the armpit. The length and position of the incision will be determined according to the specific situation of the patient. Generally, it will be concealed in the natural folds of the skin as far as possible.
Next, doctors will separate breast tissue to create space for breast implants. The implant can be placed between the breast gland and the pectoralis major, or under the pectoralis major. The doctor will select the most suitable position according to the patient's specific situation and expectations.
Before implanting the implant, the doctor will select the appropriate size, shape and material of the implant according to the patient's requirements. Implants can be saline filled prosthesis or silicone filled prosthesis, and doctors will choose according to individual differences and patient expectations.
Finally, the doctor will carefully examine the wound to ensure hemostasis and suture the incision. Absorbable suture is usually used, without taking out the suture.
Postoperative care
At the end of the operation, the patient will be transferred to the recovery room for observation until the anesthetic effect completely subsides. The doctor will give patients corresponding pain relief drugs and antibiotics to reduce postoperative pain and prevent infection.
Patients need to follow the doctor's postoperative care instructions, keep a rest, and avoid strenuous activities and bearing weight. Patients also need regular follow-up visits. The doctor will check the wound healing and recommend proper breast massage and post breast augmentation care.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a safe and effective plastic surgery, which can help patients achieve the ideal breast shape and size. The operation process includes preoperative preparation, operation process and postoperative care. When choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients should consult professional plastic surgeons to fully understand the risks and effects of surgery and make wise decisions.
