How long does breast augmentation surgery need to be hospitalized?
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery in which silicone or saline is implanted into the breast to make the breast fuller. Many people have doubts about the length of hospital stay for breast augmentation surgery. The following will elaborate on breast augmentation surgery in terms of preoperative preparation, surgical process, postoperative recovery and length of hospital stay.
Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and preoperative examination according to the specific conditions of the patient. Preoperative preparation includes detailed communication with the doctor, understanding the purpose, methods and risks of the operation, and determining the operation plan. At the same time, imaging examinations such as breast CT or MRI are also needed to evaluate breast tissue and determine the size and location of implants.
In addition, the patient also needs to prepare some preoperative physical examinations, such as blood routine, electrocardiogram, breast color ultrasound, etc., to ensure that the physical condition is suitable for surgery. The doctor will also inform the patient of the time of fasting and water deprivation before surgery and the precautions for drug prohibition.
The preparation time before surgery is usually one or several days before surgery to ensure that the patient's physical condition meets the requirements of surgery.
Operation process
The specific process of breast augmentation surgery is usually carried out on the operating table and requires general anesthesia. The doctor will operate according to the operation plan prepared in advance. First, the doctor will cut the skin vertically under the breast and create a tunnel for the implant under the breast tissue.
Next, the doctor will implant silicone or saline into the breast, and adjust the position and size of the implant according to the patient's needs and the doctor's recommendations. The operation time is generally between 1-2 hours, depending on the patient's condition and the operation plan.
Postoperative recovery
A certain recovery period is required after breast augmentation surgery. On the first day after the operation, the patient needs to continue to be hospitalized for observation, and the doctor will carry out corresponding post-operative treatment, such as changing the dressing and giving appropriate analgesic drugs. At this time, the patient needs to keep rest and avoid strenuous activities.
In 2-3 days after the operation, the patient will have some breast swelling and pain. At this time, pay attention to rest, maintain good posture, and apply cold compress and hot compress as instructed by the doctor. During this period, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and weight lifting, so as not to affect postoperative recovery.
Generally, the recovery period after breast augmentation surgery is 1-2 weeks. During this period of time, the patient needs to come back for inspection on time, and the doctor will observe the wound healing and make corresponding treatment. At the same time, patients need to carry out restorative exercises according to the doctor's recommendations to promote postoperative recovery and breast shape shaping.
Length of stay
As breast augmentation surgery is a relatively complicated operation, it usually requires one to two days of hospitalization. During hospitalization, the doctor will closely observe the patient's postoperative condition and check the wound to ensure that the patient has no serious complications.
During hospitalization, patients can receive timely care and guidance from medical staff, and can also communicate with doctors and solve postoperative problems in a timely manner. Observation and nursing during hospitalization effectively promoted the recovery of patients and provided safe and reliable guarantee.
To sum up, the hospital stay for breast augmentation surgery is generally one to two days. Comprehensive preparation before operation, precise operation during operation, recovery after operation and hospitalization observation are all important links to ensure the success of operation and the safety of patients.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery to make breast fuller by implanting silicone or saline. Preoperative preparation includes communication and examination with the doctor. Rest and restorative exercise should be paid attention to in postoperative recovery. The hospital stay is usually one to two days. Breast augmentation surgery should be carried out in a real hospital, and doctors' suggestions and precautions should be strictly followed.
