Will breast augmentation surgery have obvious scars?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, through the implantation of prosthesis to increase the shape and size of the breast. However, many people will worry about whether there will be obvious scars after breast augmentation surgery. The following will elaborate on whether breast augmentation surgery will leave obvious scars from several aspects.
Selection of surgical incision
The choice of incision for breast augmentation surgery is one of the important factors affecting scar formation. At present, there are three common incisions: axilla, areola and cleavage.
1. Subaxillary incision: Implantation of prosthesis through subaxillary incision in breast augmentation surgery is one of the relatively concealed surgical methods. The incision is located under the armpit, so it is not easy to expose when dressing after the operation, and the scar is usually invisible.
2. areola incision: the areola incision is to place the incision at the edge of the areola, and the scar will be more obvious than the axillary incision, but under normal circumstances, the color of the areola will also be incorporated, which will not be particularly obvious.
3. Breast groove incision: The breast groove incision is located at the breast groove in the center of the chest. Compared with the axillary incision and areola incision, the scar of the cleavage incision is easier to be noticed. However, the common scar of the cleavage incision will gradually fade over time and become almost invisible after a few months.
Individual differences affect scar formation
In addition to the choice of surgical incision, individual differences will also affect the formation of scars. Different people will have different reactions during the healing process. Some people may form more obvious scars, while others may have almost no obvious scars.
In fact, before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed preoperative assessment, including the assessment of the patient's skin elasticity, healing ability and scar formation tendency. Select the appropriate surgical plan and incision according to the individual characteristics of each person to minimize the formation of scars.
Postoperative care and recovery process
Postoperative nursing and recovery process is also one of the important factors affecting the formation of scars. After the operation, the doctor will give the patient detailed nursing guidance, including rest, regular dressing change, and avoiding irritation. Correct nursing can reduce the occurrence of infection and other complications, which is conducive to wound healing and reduce the formation of scars.
In addition, it is also necessary to follow the guidance and advice of the doctor during the postoperative recovery, such as avoiding lifting heavy objects, following prescribed exercise and diet. Correct recovery process can ensure the stability of breast prosthesis and reduce the formation of scar.
conclusion
In general, the scar formation of breast augmentation surgery is closely related to the surgical incision, individual differences, postoperative care and recovery process. Choosing appropriate surgical incision and preoperative evaluation according to different conditions, and correctly carrying out postoperative care and recovery can help reduce obvious scar formation. The final effect also depends on the surgeon's technical level and experience. Therefore, when choosing hospitals and doctors, we should choose regular, qualified and skilled plastic surgeons, and make full communication and understanding before surgery, so as to make wise decisions.
