1、 Applicable objects of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to enlarge and improve the shape of breast by implanting prosthesis, which is applicable to the following people:
1. Breast dysplasia: Breast dysplasia makes the breast too small, affecting women's body proportion and self image. For these patients, breast augmentation surgery can help adjust breast size and improve self-confidence.
2. Breast sagging: With the growth of age, pregnancy and lactation, breasts are prone to sagging. Breast augmentation surgery can improve the position of the breast by implanting a prosthesis to make the breast more plump and compact.
3. Breast asymmetry: Breast asymmetry is a condition where the size and shape of the breast are inconsistent. Breast augmentation surgery can adjust the size and shape of the breast by implanting different sized prostheses in the asymmetric breast to make the breast more symmetrical.
4. Repair after mastectomy: The treatment of breast cancer and other diseases may lead to partial or total mastectomy. For these patients, breast augmentation surgery can be performed to restore breast shape and female characteristics.
2、 Preparation before breast augmentation surgery
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to make detailed preoperative preparations, including:
1. Preoperative examination: The patient needs to undergo breast ultrasound or mammography to assess the status of the breast and select an appropriate breast augmentation surgery program.
2. Select the appropriate prosthesis: select the appropriate breast augmentation prosthesis according to the needs of patients and the guidance of doctors. The types of prosthesis include saline prosthesis and silicone prosthesis, which can be selected by patients according to their own conditions.
3. Operation risks and postoperative precautions: The patient needs to communicate with the doctor about the operation risks and postoperative precautions in detail, understand the possible risks and complications of the operation, and cooperate with the doctor for postoperative care.
3、 The process of breast augmentation surgery and postoperative nursing
Breast augmentation surgery usually requires general anesthesia, and the operation time is about 2-3 hours. The operation steps include:
1. Incision selection: according to the patient's body shape and needs, doctors can choose different positions of incision, generally including axillary incision, areola incision or cleavage incision.
2. Prosthesis placement: The doctor will form a "bag" under the breast tissue or pectoralis major muscle, and then place the prosthesis in the "bag" to increase the size and shape of the breast.
3. Suture and bandage: After the operation, the doctor will suture the incision and properly bandage and fix it to protect the breast after the operation.
After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's postoperative nursing recommendations, such as standardized use of supporting bras, avoiding strenuous exercise, and avoiding sleep compression of the breast, to promote postoperative recovery and reduce the risk of complications.
4、 Precautions for breast augmentation surgery
When choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients should pay attention to the following points:
1. Selection of surgical hospitals and doctors: select standard professional hospitals and experienced doctors for surgery to ensure the safety and effect of surgery.
2. Full communication before surgery: patients need to fully communicate with doctors and express their expectations and needs, and doctors also need to give reasonable suggestions according to the actual situation of patients.
3. Operation risks and complications: patients need to understand the risks and possible complications of breast augmentation surgery, such as infection, prosthesis rupture, etc., and carry out preoperative preparation and postoperative care according to the doctor's recommendations.
To sum up, breast augmentation surgery is suitable for people with breast dysplasia, breast sagging, breast asymmetry, and breast repair after mastectomy. Before surgery, patients need to make detailed preoperative preparations, including breast status inspection, selection of appropriate prosthesis, and understanding of surgical risks and precautions. During the operation, it is necessary to select the appropriate incision position and place the prosthesis. After the operation, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice for nursing and rehabilitation. When choosing breast augmentation surgery, patients need to choose appropriate hospitals and doctors, and understand the risks and complications of surgery.
