What materials are needed for breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as breast plastic surgery, is a surgical method to change the shape and size of the breast to achieve the purpose of beauty and remodeling. This surgery usually requires the use of a variety of materials to achieve breast augmentation. Next, we will introduce the materials needed for breast augmentation surgery from four aspects.
1. Implants
In breast augmentation surgery, the most commonly used material is implants. Implants are implants that are surgically inserted into the chest tissue. At present, there are two types of implants in the market: biomaterials and silicone implants.
Silicone implant is one of the most commonly used implant materials. It is a rubber capsule filled with silica gel, with soft texture and good biocompatibility. Silicone implants have high stability and durability, and can better simulate the touch of natural breasts.
Another common implant is biomaterials, such as autologous fat transplantation. This method collects the patient's own adipose tissue from other parts and injects it into the chest after specific treatment to achieve the effect of breast augmentation. Autologous fat transplantation has a lower risk of rejection and can improve the body shape of multiple sites.
2. Anesthetics
Thoracic augmentation surgery requires general anesthesia or local anesthesia to ensure that patients will not feel pain during the operation. Anesthetics are the key to anesthesia. Common anesthetics include intravenous anesthetics, inhalation anesthetics and local anesthetics.
Intravenous anesthetics can be injected into the body through intravenous injection, so that patients can quickly enter the anesthesia state and keep sleeping during the operation. Inhaled anesthetics are inhaled through the respiratory tract, and the concentration is adjusted by the anesthesia machine to make the patient reach the ideal depth of anesthesia. Local anesthetics are mainly used in the operation area, which can paralyze the nerves locally and make the operation area painless or feel less.
3. Surgical instruments
Breast augmentation surgery requires the use of a variety of surgical instruments to complete the surgical process. Common surgical instruments include scalpel, needle, scissors, suction device, suture device, etc.
The scalpel is mainly used to cut the skin and chest tissue, and the appropriate knife head is selected according to the surgical needs. Needles are often used to suture chest tissue, and various sutures can be used for suture. Scissors are mainly used to cut and trim tissues. The aspirator is used to absorb the liquid and blood produced during the operation. The suture device is an auxiliary instrument used to fix and tension tissues during the operation.
4. Surgical auxiliary materials
In breast augmentation surgery, some surgical auxiliary materials are needed to assist the operation. Common auxiliary materials include disinfectant, dressing, surgical gloves, etc.
Disinfectant is used to clean and disinfect the operation area to ensure that the operation site is sterile. The dressing is mainly used to cover and protect the wound after surgery, and helps to promote wound healing. Surgical gloves are protective gloves worn by surgeons during operation, which play a role in protecting patients and doctors.
summary
To sum up, the materials required for breast augmentation surgery include implants, anesthetics, surgical instruments and surgical auxiliary materials. These materials play a vital role in surgery, helping patients achieve the goal of breast remodeling and beauty. When performing breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will select suitable materials according to the specific situation of the patient to ensure the safety and effect of the surgery.
