1、 Precautions after operation
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can help women improve the shape and size of the chest and enhance self-confidence. However, after surgery, patients need to pay close attention to some precautions to ensure the surgical effect and smooth recovery process.
First of all, the postoperative wounds need regular cleaning and nursing. The wound after surgery is usually sutured by doctors with absorbable suture, without removing the suture. Patients can use warm boiled water or normal saline to clean the blood and secretions around the wound and gently wipe them dry.
Secondly, patients should wear special bras to protect their breasts. In a few weeks after the operation, the breast may feel swollen and painful. Wearing a bra can reduce discomfort and help maintain the shape of the breast. Patients should choose bras that provide adequate support and comfort, and avoid wearing tight clothing.
In addition, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. Within a few weeks after the operation, the breast needs enough time to recover and heal. Exercise and weight lifting may cause wound dehiscence or breast deformation, so patients should temporarily avoid these activities. Doctors usually give specific recovery time according to personal conditions.
2、 Diet and lifestyle adjustment
The adjustment of diet and living habits after surgery is equally important. First, patients need to maintain good nutritional status to promote wound healing and recovery. A balanced diet should include adequate protein, vitamins and minerals. In addition, patients should avoid smoking and drinking, which may interfere with the wound healing process.
In addition, patients need to pay attention to maintaining good sleep habits. Adequate sleep is conducive to the recovery of the body and metabolism. In a few weeks after the operation, the patient may feel tired and sleepy. At this time, the patient should keep enough sleep.
In addition, patients should avoid exposure to sunlight and high temperature after surgery. Sunlight and heat can increase breast swelling and increase the risk of infection and bleeding. Patients should try to avoid outdoor activities and ensure that the indoor environment is comfortable and cool.
3、 Follow the doctor's instructions
During the recovery period after surgery, patients need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions and guidance. The doctor will give specific recovery guidelines according to personal conditions, including rest time, activity restrictions and drug use.
Patients should return regularly according to the doctor's requirements, so that the doctor can evaluate the surgical effect and recovery. If the patient has bleeding, infection, swelling and other abnormalities after surgery, he should report to the doctor in time and seek help.
In addition, patients should not adjust or replace wound ointment by themselves, and should not reduce or stop using drugs prescribed by doctors without authorization. Patients should carry out recovery and drug management according to the doctor's recommendations to ensure the maximum effect of surgery.
4、 Psychological guidance and support
In addition to physical precautions, postoperative patients also need psychological counseling and appropriate support. Plastic surgery may affect patients' psychology, including anxiety, inferiority and fear. Patients should actively seek professional help for psychological counseling and consultation.
In addition, patients can seek family members, friends or people who have also experienced plastic surgery for communication and support. Their understanding and support can help patients overcome discomfort and confusion during postoperative recovery.
In a word, the precautions after breast augmentation surgery include wound care, wearing a bra, avoiding strenuous exercise and lifting heavy objects. Diet and lifestyle adjustment are equally important, including balanced diet, sufficient sleep and avoiding exposure to sunlight and high temperature. Patients should follow the doctor's instructions, return regularly and do not adjust drug management. In addition, patients also need psychological counseling and appropriate support.
