Specific steps of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which aims to improve the size and shape of the breast by transplanting implants or injecting fillers. The specific surgical procedures are as follows:
First, the plastic surgeon will conduct a detailed interview and preoperative evaluation with the patient. The doctor will ask the patient about his/her health status, expected surgical effect and recovery time after surgery. At the same time, the doctor will check the patient's breast to determine the surgical plan.
On the day of operation, the patient will be scheduled to receive general anesthesia. Then, the doctor will make an incision in the cleavage area or armpit below the breast. Incision is usually hidden in natural skin folds to reduce postoperative marks.
Next, doctors will select suitable breast augmentation materials according to the patient's body shape and desired effect. Common breast augmentation materials include saline implants and silicone implants. The doctor will insert the implant into the tissue under the breast through the incision, and then gradually add appropriate filler to achieve the ideal volume and shape.
After the operation, the doctor will suture the breast incision and cover the wound. The patient may need to wear a special support bra to help stabilize and recover the breast. After surgery, patients may feel some pain and discomfort, but these problems can usually be alleviated by using pain relief drugs.
Preoperative preparation for breast augmentation surgery
Preoperative preparation is the key to ensure the success of breast augmentation surgery. The following are the key points of preoperative preparation:
First, patients should have a detailed communication with plastic surgeons. They need to tell their doctors what they expect and why they want to have breast augmentation surgery. The doctor will make a suitable operation plan according to the patient's expectations and physical conditions.
Secondly, patients need to have a comprehensive physical examination, including breast examination and related testing items. These tests help doctors assess the condition of the patient's breasts and eliminate any potential health risks.
In addition, patients need to follow preoperative guidance. Doctors may advise patients to stop taking certain drugs or supplement certain nutrients to avoid potential risks during the operation. In addition, patients should also stop smoking and drinking because these habits may affect the effect of surgery and the speed of recovery.
Postoperative recovery and nursing
The postoperative recovery period is the key stage to ensure the operation effect. The following are some aspects of postoperative recovery and nursing:
Within a few days after the operation, the patient may feel pain, tightness and swelling in the breast. The doctor will prescribe painkillers to relieve the discomfort. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting to reduce discomfort to the breast.
Within a few weeks after the operation, the patient needs to wear a special support bra according to the doctor's instructions to help stabilize and recover the breast. At the same time, the patient should also avoid lying flat and try to maintain a semi sitting position to reduce the pressure on the breast.
Regular follow-up after surgery is very important. The doctor will check the breast recovery and give further guidance. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to breast maintenance and health to ensure the surgical effect.
Risks and precautions of breast augmentation surgery
Although breast augmentation surgery is a relatively safe plastic surgery, there are still some risks and precautions:
First, surgical risks include infection, bleeding, scar formation and breast asymmetry. Patients should choose regular hospitals and experienced plastic surgeons for surgery to reduce the risk of surgery.
Secondly, patients should understand that the effect after surgery will take a certain time to show gradually. Within a few months after surgery, the breast may feel unnatural or asymmetrical. Patients need to wait patiently and follow the doctor's advice for regular follow-up visits.
In addition, breast augmentation surgery is not permanent, and the prosthesis may need to be replaced in the next few years. Patients need to receive regular breast examinations to ensure the safety and health of the prosthesis.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can improve the size and shape of the breast by transplanting implants or injecting fillers. The specific steps of surgery include face assessment, incision development, implant insertion and incision suture. Preoperative preparation includes communication with doctors, physical examination and preoperative guidance. Postoperative recovery and nursing included the use of painkillers, wearing a supportive bra and regular follow-up visits. There are certain risks and precautions in surgery, including infection, scar formation and prosthesis replacement. Patients need to choose a regular hospital and an experienced doctor for surgery, and follow the doctor's recommendations to ensure the effect of surgery and health and safety.
