Steps of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as breast augmentation surgery, is a common cosmetic surgery to improve the shape and size of women's breasts by implanting artificial prosthesis or transplanting autologous fat. Breast augmentation surgery can provide women with a more confident and satisfactory appearance, so that they have a more perfect figure. The steps of breast augmentation surgery will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, the hospital will arrange patients to have a comprehensive preoperative evaluation and preparation. This includes detailed consultation and communication between doctors and patients, understanding patients' needs and expectations, and evaluating patients' physical conditions. The doctor will also conduct a preliminary examination of the patient's breast, and measure the size and shape of the breast to determine the appropriate prosthesis type and size. In addition, patients also need to provide relevant health information and accept necessary laboratory tests.
The preoperative preparation stage also includes psychological counseling and education for patients to help them understand the risks and complications of surgery and clarify the expected effect of surgery. Doctors can also recommend appropriate surgical methods, such as silicone prosthesis implantation or autologous fat transplantation, according to the patient's physical condition and needs.
2. Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, but in some cases general anesthesia may be required. During the operation, the doctor will select the most suitable operation plan according to the preoperative evaluation and the needs of the patient.
For the operation of implanting silicone prosthesis, the doctor will make a small incision in the areola or the lower side of the breast below the breast, and then implant the prosthesis into the breast through the incision. The doctor will adjust the shape, size and position of the prosthesis according to the patient's needs and medical knowledge to achieve the best cosmetic effect.
For the operation of autologous fat transplantation, the doctor will extract the fat from the abdomen or buttocks of the patient through fat suction, and then inject the fat into the breast after fine separation and purification. Fat transplantation does not require incision, but can be injected through a small needle, which can recover quickly and naturally after operation.
3. Postoperative nursing
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need a period of postoperative care. The doctor will arrange a follow-up visit for the patient within a few days after the operation, check the wound healing, and give corresponding medicine and nursing guidance. Patients need to follow the doctor's advice, maintain rest and diet adjustment, and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy object extraction to promote wound healing.
In addition, patients also need regular breast massage and pain management to reduce postoperative swelling and discomfort. For patients with silicone implants, doctors will recommend regular mammography to ensure the stability and safety of the prosthesis.
4. Effect evaluation
The effect of breast augmentation surgery usually takes some time to really show. The breast shape and size of the patient will gradually stabilize from weeks to months after surgery, and the wound will also fully heal. Patients can gradually resume their normal work and life, and enjoy the beauty and confidence brought by breast enlargement.
However, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks and complications, such as postoperative infection, breast ptosis, prosthesis rupture, etc. Therefore, patients need to visit the hospital regularly for further consultation and examination to ensure health and safety.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery. Its steps include preoperative preparation, surgical process, postoperative care and effect evaluation. Before the operation, the doctor will communicate and evaluate with the patient in detail to determine a suitable operation plan. During the operation, silicone prosthesis or autologous fat transplantation can be selected. After surgery, patients should follow the doctor's nursing guidance and return regularly to ensure the effect of surgery and health and safety.
