Do you need nursing after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can increase the size and fullness of breast by implanting prosthesis or autologous fat. For many women, breast augmentation surgery can help them realize their beauty aspirations. However, proper nursing is also very important after the operation. The following will elaborate on the nursing after the breast augmentation operation from four aspects: rest, wound nursing, wearing a bra and precautions.
rest
Rest after surgery is particularly important for recovery. In the first few days after the operation, the patient should have enough rest and avoid strenuous exercise or standing for a long time. Lying flat on the bed and using additional pads to lift the upper body will help reduce breast swelling and pain. In addition, avoid lifting heavy objects or overexerting to avoid affecting wound healing.
At the same time, patients also need to follow the doctor's advice, exercise regularly and gradually increase the amount of activity to help restore the flexibility of the chest. However, during the recovery period, strenuous exercise should not be carried out. High intensity activities, such as weight lifting or jumping, should be avoided.
Wound care
After breast augmentation surgery, wound care is very important. Generally speaking, doctors will provide patients with detailed instructions on dressing changes. The patient needs to change the gauze regularly, and ensure that the wound is clean to avoid infection each time. At the same time, the patient should also avoid tearing off the adhesive tape or incision tape on the wound, so as not to cause the wound to split or bleed.
In addition, patients need to pay close attention to the abnormal conditions of the wound, such as redness, swelling, bleeding, exudation, etc. If these conditions occur, consult a doctor immediately and seek medical assistance.
Wear a bra
Wearing a suitable bra is very important for postoperative recovery. Within a few weeks after surgery, patients should choose soft and comfortable bras, and try to avoid using bras with steel rings. This is because the bra with steel ring may exert additional pressure on the surgical site, causing discomfort or affecting wound healing.
In addition, the size of the bra is also critical. The patient needs to be sure to choose the correct size to avoid putting too much or too little pressure on the breast. Generally speaking, a suitable broadband bra should be selected during the postoperative recovery period to provide better fixation and support.
matters needing attention
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following matters:
First, avoid exposure to the sun, and use sunscreen to protect the skin of the surgical site to reduce pigmentation and scar formation.
Secondly, keep good eating and drinking habits to promote wound healing and health.
Finally, regular follow-up visits are very important. During the follow-up period, the doctor will evaluate the recovery after the operation and give corresponding suggestions and treatment. The patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions for further consultation and report any discomfort in a timely manner.
To sum up, nursing after breast augmentation surgery is very important. The patient needs to have a full rest, properly care for the wound, select a suitable bra, and follow the doctor's advice and precautions. Only in this way can the rehabilitation effect and breast health after surgery be guaranteed.
