Course of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of cosmetic surgery to increase the shape and size of the chest by implanting silicone or saline filler in the breast. For those who are not satisfied with their chest size, breast augmentation surgery can help them achieve a confident and satisfied appearance. However, breast augmentation surgery requires a series of courses of treatment. Next, we will introduce this process in detail from the aspects of preoperative preparation, surgical process, postoperative recovery and effect durability.
Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need comprehensive preoperative preparation. First, patients need to consult and discuss with plastic surgeons to determine the goals and expected results of surgery. The doctor will make a personalized surgical plan according to the patient's chest condition and personal physical condition.
After determining the surgical plan, patients need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that they are suitable for surgery. These tests usually include blood tests, electrocardiogram and mammography. In addition, patients also need to provide relevant personal information, such as medical history and medication, to help doctors assess the risk and safety of surgery.
Finally, the patient needs to sign the surgical consent form and receive comprehensive preoperative guidance. This includes fasting before surgery and avoiding the use of some drugs and cosmetics. These preparations usually take several weeks to ensure a smooth operation.
Operation process
During breast augmentation surgery, patients need local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Surgery is usually carried out in plastic surgery hospitals or professional clinics. The doctor will make an incision under the breast tissue or above the muscle according to the preoperative operation plan, and implant silicone or saline filler.
The operation time is usually about 1 hour, and the patient can be discharged immediately after the operation. During the operation, doctors will closely monitor the vital signs of patients and pay attention to the hygiene and aseptic operation during the operation to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
The specific procedure of the operation will vary according to the operation plan and the requirements of the hospital. Therefore, when selecting surgery hospitals and doctors, patients should try to choose formal plastic surgery hospitals to ensure the quality and safety of surgery.
Postoperative recovery
Postoperative recovery is a very important part of breast augmentation surgery. After surgery, the patient may feel pain, swelling and discomfort in the chest. The doctor will give necessary painkillers and detumescence drugs for relief. Patients need to use special bras to support their breasts and avoid strenuous exercise and high-intensity activities.
About two weeks later, the patient needs to go back to the doctor to check the healing of the wound and remove the suture as needed. About 6 months after the operation, the breast shape will gradually stabilize, and the effect will be more obvious. At this point, the shape and size of the patient's chest will achieve the desired effect.
Effect durability
The effect of breast augmentation surgery can last for a long time, but it is not permanent. Implants filled with silica gel or saline have a certain life span. After a certain period of time, they may need to be replaced or repaired. It is generally believed that silica gel filler has a longer durability than saline filler.
In order to maintain the shape and size of the breast, patients need to return regularly and receive guidance from doctors. The doctor will adjust the position and proportion of the implant according to the actual situation to keep the breast in an ideal state. In addition, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining good living habits and healthy diet to maintain overall health and long-term breast effect.

The course of operation includes preoperative preparation, operation process, postoperative recovery and effect persistence.
