How long can the effect be maintained after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can increase the size and fullness of the breast by implanting prosthesis or autologous fat. The effect of breast augmentation surgery is one of the most concerned problems for patients. However, how long can the effect of breast augmentation be maintained? This problem is described in detail from several aspects below.
1. Operation method determines the durability of the effect
First, the durability of breast augmentation surgery is related to the surgical method. At present, the commonly used methods of breast augmentation are prosthesis and autologous fat transplantation.
Prosthetic augmentation is to implant the prosthesis into the chest tissue, so the effect is relatively durable and stable. Generally speaking, after surgery, patients can maintain the effect for more than 5 years. If a more durable prosthesis material, such as silicone prosthesis, is selected during surgery, the effect can last longer.
The autologous fat transplantation is to extract and purify the patient's own fat and inject it into the breast tissue. The effect of this method is relatively natural, but because of the absorption and metabolic characteristics of fat cells, part of the injected fat will be absorbed by the body, so the effect is not completely permanent. Generally speaking, the effect after transplantation can be maintained for 3 to 5 years.
Therefore, the selection of appropriate surgical methods is the key to maintain the lasting effect of breast augmentation.
2. Effect of daily care and maintenance
Daily care and maintenance after breast augmentation surgery are also important factors to maintain the effect. Patients should follow the doctor's instructions for proper care, such as regular massage and use of care products.
Regular massage can promote blood circulation, help the prosthesis better integrate into breast tissue, and thus extend the durability of the effect. At the same time, the use of professional care products can help keep the skin moist and elastic, reducing the relaxation of breast tissue and the possibility of sagging.
In addition, good living habits are also an important part of maintaining the effect. Avoid excessive exercise and severe squeezing, which can reduce the impact and deformation on the breast.
3. Effects of age and physiological changes
With the growth of age, a series of physiological changes will occur in breast tissue, which will also affect the breast augmentation effect.
The growth of age will lead to relaxation and sagging of breast tissue, which may weaken the effect of breast augmentation surgery, or even cause obvious deformation. Therefore, with the growth of age, further plastic surgery may be required to repair the shape of the breast.
4. Preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up
Finally, preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up are also important links to maintain the effect.
Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will make a detailed assessment according to the specific situation of the patient, including the relaxation degree of breast tissue, skin elasticity, etc. Through reasonable evaluation, doctors can choose more suitable surgical methods and prosthetic materials to improve the durability of the effect.
After surgery, regular follow-up and examination are also very important. The doctor will evaluate the patient's postoperative recovery and make necessary adjustments and suggestions.
Summary
How long the effect of breast augmentation surgery can be maintained depends on the combined effect of multiple factors. Operation mode, daily care and maintenance, age and physiological changes, preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up and other factors will affect the durability of the effect. Therefore, before breast augmentation surgery, we should fully understand the characteristics of the surgical method, and choose the most suitable surgical program according to individual conditions. After operation, correct nursing and maintenance, and active follow-up guidance from doctors can help to extend the durability of the effect.
