Suture removal procedures for breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to change the shape and size of the chest by implanting implants, which is suitable for women who want to change the shape of the chest. Breast augmentation surgery has different specific operation steps in different hospitals. The following will elaborate the suture removal steps of breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: preoperative preparation, surgical process, suture removal steps and precautions.
Preoperative preparation
Before the suture removal for breast augmentation surgery, the patient needs to carefully complete the preoperative preparation. First of all, patients need to consult and communicate with doctors in detail to understand the risks of surgery, surgical methods and recovery process after surgery. Secondly, patients need to provide relevant physical examination reports to ensure that their physical health is suitable for surgery.
In addition, patients need to stop some drugs that may affect the surgical effect, such as anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs. The patient needs to fast the night before the operation to ensure the smooth operation.
Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is generally divided into two types: implantable and autologous fat transplantation. Implantation is to implant silica gel or saline into the chest tissue, while autologous fat transplantation is to transplant the patient's own fat into the chest.
Before the operation, the patient will be given general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The doctor will make an incision on the skin below the breast and open a space at the appropriate position to implant implants or adipose tissue. The doctor will determine the shape and size of the implant according to the patient's needs and body shape.
The operation time is usually between 1-3 hours, and the aforementioned suture removal steps will be carried out after the operation.
Disassembly steps
Suture removal is a key step in breast augmentation surgery, which marks the end of surgery and further recovery after surgery. The suture removal is usually performed 7-10 days after the operation.
First, the doctor will disinfect the surgical wound before removing the suture to prevent infection. Then, the doctor will use small tweezers to hold the thread, gently cut the thread, and gradually remove the thread from the wound.
During the suture removal process, the patient may feel some slight tingling or discomfort, but generally it will pass soon. After the suture is removed, the doctor will check the wound to ensure that it is well healed, and give proper disinfection and care.
matters needing attention
During the suture removal of breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following points:
First, patients need to pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry to avoid infection. The doctor will give corresponding postoperative nursing guidance, and the patient needs to be treated according to the doctor's recommendations.
Secondly, after suture removal, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise or activity, and try to avoid excessive stretching at the wound, so as not to affect the wound healing and surgical effect.
Finally, the patient needs regular follow-up after suture removal, and the doctor will follow up and observe the wound after surgery to ensure that the wound healing is good, and give further guidance and suggestions.
Summary
The suture removal step of breast augmentation surgery is the last step of the surgery, which marks the end of the surgery and further recovery after the surgery. During the suture removal process, the doctor will sterilize, cut the thread head and gradually take it out, and then check and treat the wound. After surgery, patients need to pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry to avoid infection, and follow the doctor's recommendations for postoperative care and regular follow-up.
From the above, we can understand that the suture removal procedure of breast augmentation surgery is a key and meticulous process, which requires the professional skills of doctors and the cooperation of patients. After suture removal, patients need to pay attention to keeping the wound clean and nursing to ensure the surgical effect and smooth recovery after surgery.
