Effect of breast augmentation surgery on lactation
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery to enlarge women's breasts by implanting prostheses. However, many women will worry about whether breast augmentation surgery will affect breast feeding when considering breast augmentation surgery. The influence of breast augmentation surgery on lactation will be described in detail from the following four aspects: surgical process, surgical method, postoperative nursing and medical research results.
Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is usually achieved by implanting prosthesis under breast tissue or pectoralis major muscle. During the operation, the doctor will try to avoid damaging the breast tissue and nipple, so as to reduce the impact on lactation. After surgery, patients usually need to rest for 1 to 2 days. During recovery, excessive force and strenuous exercise should be avoided.
During the operation, the doctor will pay attention to protecting the breast and nipple to minimize the impact of the operation on the breast. However, due to individual differences and surgical procedures and other factors, breast augmentation surgery may have a certain degree of impact on breast tissue.
Surgical methods
At present, there are two main methods of breast augmentation surgery: the lower breast and the armpit. In the lower part of the breast, the incision was made at the lower edge of the breast, and the incision was sutured after the prosthesis was implanted. In the armpit part, the prosthesis is placed under the breast through an incision in the armpit. These two methods have slightly different effects on lactation.
The lower part of the breast is relatively common, the incision position is relatively low, the impact on the breast and nipple is generally small, and the recovery period is relatively short. The incision position of the axillary method is relatively high, and the operation may have a relatively large impact on the breast and nipple, and the recovery period is relatively long.
Postoperative care
Postoperative nursing after breast augmentation surgery is also an important factor affecting lactation. After the operation, the patient needs reasonable nursing according to the doctor's requirements. This includes keeping the wound clean, paying attention to preventing infection, and returning to the doctor regularly.
During the postoperative recovery period, the patient needs to avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion, especially the movement of the arms and chest. If proper nursing during the recovery period, it can reduce the impact of surgery on breast and mammary gland.
Medical research results
The current medical research results show that breast augmentation surgery has a relatively small impact on lactation. A study found that most women who received breast augmentation surgery were able to successfully breast feed, while the operation had relatively little impact on the breast and mammary gland.
However, it is worth noting that factors such as preoperative breast conditions, surgical methods and postoperative care will have an impact on breastfeeding. Therefore, when considering breast augmentation surgery, professional doctors should be consulted in advance to understand their own breast conditions and the potential impact of the surgery on lactation.
Summary
To sum up, the impact of breast augmentation surgery on lactation mainly depends on the surgical process, surgical methods, postoperative care, individual differences and other factors. Although breast augmentation surgery may have some impact on breast and mammary gland, most women can still successfully breast feed. Therefore, before deciding to accept breast augmentation surgery, professional doctors should be consulted to understand the possible impact of the surgery, and personal needs and limitations should be comprehensively considered. For women who have undergone breast augmentation surgery, reasonable postoperative care and recovery period arrangement are also the key to ensure the success of breast feeding.
