What should we pay attention to after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the shape and size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis. Although a full chest can be obtained after surgery, postoperative care and precautions are critical to the success and health of the surgical results. The following aspects should be paid attention to after breast augmentation surgery:
Postoperative precautions
In the first week after the operation, the patient needs postoperative care under the guidance of the doctor. First of all, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and weight lifting to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the surgical site. Secondly, patients should wash the surgical site with warm water and soap every day to keep the wound dry and clean to avoid infection. In addition, patients also need to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time to help reduce postoperative pain and swelling.
In addition, for those patients who need to go home to rest, they should choose appropriate sleep posture to avoid pressing the chest. Lying on the side is a more appropriate sleeping position, which can reduce the pressure on the operation site.
In a few months after surgery, patients should avoid receiving strong shocks and external forces. Physical exercise, strenuous exercise or other activities that may exert pressure on the chest should be temporarily avoided. This measure is to protect the prosthesis at the operation site and avoid its displacement or rupture.
Diet conditioning
Dietary conditioning is also very important for postoperative recovery and maintenance of surgical effect. First, patients should avoid eating irritating food, such as spicy food and alcohol. These foods and drinks may cause congestion and pain in the chest, affecting postoperative healing. Secondly, patients should choose foods rich in protein and vitamins to help promote wound healing and normal metabolism.
In addition, patients should also maintain adequate water intake to help the body detoxify and maintain normal metabolism. Adequate water intake can also prevent constipation and keep the intestinal tract unobstructed.
Pay attention to the postoperative situation
Postoperative observation is essential, through which possible problems can be found and handled in a timely manner. The patient needs to pay attention to whether there are abnormal phenomena such as redness, swelling, pain or exudation at the operation site. If there are abnormal symptoms, they should report to the doctor in time. In addition, patients also need to return to see doctors regularly for examination and guidance.
During recovery, the patient may experience emotional fluctuations and physical discomfort, which is a normal reaction. However, if there is severe pain, persistent swelling or other unusual symptoms, the patient should contact the doctor in time.
Select a regular hospital
Choosing a regular hospital is an important step to ensure the postoperative effect and safety. Patients should choose plastic surgery hospitals with good reputation and complete facilities, and ensure that surgeons have rich experience and professional skills. This can minimize the risk of surgery and postoperative complications.
In conclusion, patients after breast augmentation surgery need to pay attention to postoperative care, diet conditioning, postoperative observation and choose a regular hospital. Following these precautions can help patients recover as soon as possible and maintain good surgical results.
