What discomfort will there be after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation to enlarge the breast by implanting a prosthesis. Although this operation can improve breast shape and increase self-confidence, some discomfort may occur after breast augmentation surgery. The following will elaborate on the possible discomfort after breast augmentation surgery from several aspects.
Postoperative pain and discomfort
Pain and discomfort may occur in the surgical area after breast augmentation surgery. This is because the breast tissue is stimulated and stretched during the operation, and the symptoms such as swelling, congestion and edema in the operation area will cause this discomfort. Generally speaking, the pain and discomfort will gradually decrease in a few days to weeks after the operation. The doctor will recommend appropriate painkillers to relieve the discomfort according to the specific situation of the patient.
At the early stage after operation, breast sensitivity and tingling may also occur. This is a normal postoperative reaction. These symptoms will gradually disappear with the recovery of the surgical area.
It is worth noting that in case of continuous severe pain, fever or other abnormalities, patients should consult and seek help from doctors in a timely manner.
Swelling and congestion
After breast augmentation surgery, swelling and congestion often occur in the surgical area. This is a normal physiological reaction caused during the operation. Usually, this swelling and congestion will gradually subside within a week or two after surgery. Patients can apply ice compress to reduce the discomfort of swelling and congestion.
During postoperative recovery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice and avoid strenuous exercise and strenuous activity to reduce the degree of swelling and congestion.
Breast sclerosis and discomfort
After breast augmentation surgery, breast prosthesis needs to be combined with surrounding tissues and healed. During this process, breast sclerosis occasionally occurs. Breast sclerosis may cause discomfort and pain, and some patients may also have breast asymmetry or foreign body feeling when touching.
Breast sclerosis may occur within a few months after surgery, but it usually gradually decreases or disappears. Therefore, patients need to visit again regularly after surgery, communicate with doctors and receive corresponding treatment.
Postoperative activity restriction
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice for a period of time after the surgery and limit some activities to reduce postoperative discomfort and complications. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous exercise, weight lifting and other activities that may lead to breast displacement. Patients also need to avoid pressure or pressure beyond the breast position during sleep within weeks after surgery.
In addition, patients also need to avoid tight clothing and restrict upper limb activities to promote the healing of the surgical area and postoperative recovery.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, after which some discomfort may occur. These symptoms include postoperative pain and discomfort, swelling and congestion, breast sclerosis and discomfort, and postoperative mobility restrictions. However, these symptoms usually gradually abate or disappear after surgery.
After surgery, patients should follow the doctor's advice, properly care for the wound after surgery, return regularly and carry out recovery training according to the doctor's guidance. If there are abnormal symptoms or any questions, the patient should consult the doctor in time to get timely help and treatment.
