Treatment of infection in breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can improve the shape and size of the chest by implanting artificial breast to plump the chest. However, infection may occur after breast augmentation surgery, and patients should take appropriate treatment in time to reduce the risk of complications.
Importance of infection prevention
Prevention of infection is the most important step after breast augmentation surgery. Before surgery, patients should choose a regular and reputable hospital for surgery to ensure that the hospital has hygienic conditions and corresponding surgical equipment. During the operation, doctors and nurses should abide by strict aseptic operation specifications, and monitor the whole process of preoperative preparation, intraoperative operation and postoperative nursing.
After the operation, the patient should take medicine and change dressing according to the doctor's advice, and pay attention to keeping the operation site clean and dry. During recovery, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and external pollution, and keep the wound clean and ventilated.
Of course, if the patient has infection symptoms such as fever, redness, swelling, pain, secretion, etc. after surgery, he/she should immediately seek medical advice and inform the doctor of his/her own surgery history so that the doctor can take corresponding treatment measures.

Drug treatment generally includes antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to control the spread of infection and alleviate symptoms. In terms of local treatment, doctors may clean and clean the wound to help the wound heal and reduce infection.
In case of severe infection, doctors may need further surgical intervention, such as removing implants, reconstructing wounds or drainage, to completely remove the source of infection. During treatment, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's suggestions, pay attention to personal hygiene, and keep the wound clean.
