How long does breast augmentation take?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of cosmetic plastic surgery, which can make the breast more plump and straight by implanting silica gel or saline filler in breast tissue. Many women are dissatisfied with the shape and size of their breasts, so they choose breast augmentation surgery. However, how long does it take to complete a breast augmentation surgery? The following will be elaborated from four aspects.
Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, a series of preoperative preparations are required. First, you need to choose a regular hospital and an experienced plastic surgeon for consultation and surgery. You can select the appropriate hospital through the recommendation of relatives and friends or searching for relevant information on the Internet. Then, you need to consult with the doctor in detail to understand the price of the operation, the risks of the operation and the recovery after the operation. At the same time, the doctor will also check your physical condition to determine the feasibility of the operation. These preoperative preparations usually take one to two weeks.
Next, you need to carry out preoperative examinations, including blood, urine, ECG and other examinations, to ensure that your physical condition meets the requirements of the surgery. These examinations usually take one to two days. In addition, you also need to sign the operation consent form and pay part of the operation fee as the reservation fee.
Finally, you need to prepare according to the doctor's advice, such as stopping using certain drugs, eating taboos, etc., and prepare the items needed for surgery, such as loose tops, comfortable underwear, etc. The whole preoperative preparation phase usually takes two to three weeks.
Operation process
The procedure usually takes two to three hours. First, you will have general anesthesia to ensure the comfort and safety of the operation. Then, the doctor will choose a suitable breast augmentation method according to your requirements and physical conditions, such as selecting suitable implants, surgical methods, etc.
During the operation, the doctor will make an incision, then put the implant into the breast tissue, and adjust the position and shape of the implant to achieve the desired effect. The whole operation process is usually delicate and complex, requiring careful operation and professional skills of doctors. After the operation, the doctor will suture the incision with suture and perform necessary hemostasis.
After the operation, you will be sent to the recovery room for observation and rest. Generally speaking, you need to observe in the hospital for one night to ensure that your physical condition and surgical effect are good. The whole operation process takes about half a day to one day.
Postoperative recovery
Postoperative recovery is the most critical stage in the whole process of breast augmentation surgery. After the operation, you need to follow the doctor's instructions for proper rest and care. The doctor usually requires you to wear special support clothes to help breast recovery, and tells you to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting.
In the first few days after the operation, you may feel breast pain, swelling and tightness, but these symptoms will gradually reduce. A week later, you can go to the hospital for further consultation. The doctor will check your breast recovery and make a further recovery plan for you. Usually, the recovery phase after surgery takes one to two months.
Summary
To sum up, a breast augmentation surgery usually takes about two to three months from preoperative preparation to postoperative recovery. When choosing breast augmentation surgery, we should not only consider the cost and effect of surgery, but also pay attention to the time and process of preoperative preparation and postoperative recovery. I hope this article can help you better understand the schedule of breast augmentation surgery and make a wise decision.
