Postoperative nursing of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of cosmetic surgery, which can increase the size and shape of breast by implanting prosthesis or transplanting autologous fat. Postoperative nursing is very important for the recovery of the operation and the beauty of the results. After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects of nursing:
Rest and recovery
Postoperative rest and recovery period are critical to the success of the operation. One to two weeks after surgery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects and doing too tiring activities. At this time, we should pay attention to rest, maintain a good mental state, and avoid being hurt by external pressure and friction.
During the recovery process, patients need to be reexamined regularly according to the doctor's requirements. The doctor will check the recovery of the wound and replace the dressing if necessary. In case of any abnormal situation, such as wound infection and increased pain, seek medical advice as soon as possible to obtain timely treatment.
In addition, patients need to take drugs, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, with the doctor's advice after surgery to prevent infection and reduce pain.
Keep the wound clean
Postoperative wounds need to be kept dry and clean. The patient should follow the doctor's advice to bandage the wound or change the dressing. Use a sterile cotton swab to gently wipe around the wound and do not use force to wipe or stimulate the wound. At the same time, patients should avoid bumping wounds and keep the room clean and ventilated to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
If the doctor suggests, the patient also needs to massage the tissues around the wound regularly to help reduce edema and blood stasis. However, we should pay attention to the moderate strength of the massage and avoid overexerting so as not to affect the postoperative recovery.
Wear suitable underwear
Suitable underwear is very important for postoperative recovery and breast shape. Doctors usually recommend that patients wear specially designed supportive underwear to provide good support and protection. The underwear should be comfortable and fit, and can firmly fix the breast in the best position to avoid breast sagging or shape change.
During postoperative recovery, patients should avoid using bras with steel rings because they may cause pressure and friction on the wound. At the same time, avoid wearing tight or airtight underwear to prevent skin discomfort or infection.
Pay attention to diet and living habits
The adjustment of diet and living habits also plays an important role in postoperative rehabilitation and breast beauty. Patients need to pay attention to avoid spicy and irritating food to prevent digestive discomfort or edema around the breast. In addition, alcohol and smoking should be avoided as they may interfere with wound healing and breast recovery.
During the recovery period after surgery, the patient should pay attention to maintaining a good posture, and avoid lowering his head for a long time or overexerting. In addition, avoid direct sunlight and ultraviolet radiation to avoid harm to the breast.
In a word, the key points of postoperative nursing after breast augmentation surgery are rest and recovery, keeping the wound clean, wearing suitable underwear, and paying attention to diet and living habits. Patients need to be nursed strictly according to the doctor's instructions, and seek medical advice in time to deal with any abnormalities. Only correct nursing methods and good living habits can help patients recover smoothly and achieve satisfactory results.
