How does breast augmentation surgery change the shape of the chest?
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the shape and size of the chest in a surgical manner. By injecting fillers or implants into the chest, the contour of the chest can be enlarged, enhanced or changed, so as to achieve the purpose of beautifying the chest shape. The following will elaborate on how breast augmentation surgery can change the chest shape from the aspects of preparation stage, operation process, postoperative nursing and effect sustainability.
Preparation phase
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to consult and evaluate with plastic surgeons in detail. The doctor will comprehensively consider the patient's physical condition, chest shape, expected effect and other factors to develop a personalized surgical plan for the patient. Patients also need to carry out relevant examinations, such as breast ultrasound, mammography or MRI, to understand the structure and lesions of the chest and ensure the safety and rationality of the operation.
According to the doctor's suggestion, the patient also needs to make preparations before breast augmentation surgery. This includes stopping some drugs that may affect the operation, such as anticoagulants and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; Quit smoking and drinking to reduce the risk of surgery; Adjust diet, increase protein intake and supplement vitamins to promote wound healing and recovery after surgery.
The detailed assessment and preparation in the preparation stage will help ensure the safety, effectiveness and long-term effect of the operation.
Operation process
The specific steps of breast augmentation surgery may vary according to the specific situation of the patient, generally including the following steps:
1. Anesthesia: Before the operation, the doctor will give the patient local anesthesia or general anesthesia to ensure the comfort and safety of the operation.
2. Incision: The doctor will make an incision at the proper position of the chest according to the shape and expected effect of the patient's chest. Common incision positions include around the areola, the lower edge of the armpit or the breast fold.
3. Implantation of implants or prostheses: According to the needs of patients and the suggestions of doctors, autologous fat or implants can be selected for breast augmentation, or implants can be selected. The filler can be normal saline, hyaluronic acid, etc., and the prosthesis is generally silicone or saline prosthesis.
4. Suture of incision: After the operation, the doctor will suture the incision to promote the healing of the wound.
Postoperative care
Postoperative nursing is the key to ensure the lasting and healthy effect of breast augmentation surgery. After surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Rest and recovery: You must have sufficient rest after the operation to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, so as not to affect the wound healing and stability of the prosthesis.
2. Pay attention to diet: follow the doctor's dietary recommendations after surgery, and supplement protein and vitamins in an appropriate amount to facilitate wound healing and health recovery.
3. Regular follow-up: regular follow-up after surgery is an important way to timely find and deal with postoperative complications. The patient should follow the doctor's advice for further consultation and report the postoperative situation to the doctor in time.
Effect continuity
The effect of breast augmentation surgery is generally lasting and stable, but it will be affected by some factors:
1. Individual differences: everyone's physical characteristics and recovery ability will be different, so the continuity of postoperative recovery and effect will also be different.
2. Life habits: life habits, such as diet and exercise, will also affect the sustainability of postoperative effects. Keeping healthy living habits will help to prolong the duration of the surgical effect.
3. Prosthesis aging: The implanted prosthesis has a certain service life, usually 10-15 years, and the aging or rupture of the prosthesis may affect the postoperative effect.
In general, breast augmentation surgery can beautify the chest shape by changing the shape and size of the chest. The patient needs to make preparations before the operation. During the operation, the doctor will choose the appropriate method and prosthesis for breast augmentation according to the patient's needs. Postoperative care and living habits will also have an impact on the sustainability of the effect. Therefore, before undergoing breast augmentation surgery, patients need to fully understand the risks and effects of the surgery, fully communicate with doctors, and develop their own surgical programs to ensure the success and satisfaction of the surgery.
