What materials are needed for breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to increase the size and shape of women's breasts by implanting prosthesis or fat transplantation. In this operation, a variety of materials were used, including prostheses, sutures, hemostatic drugs, etc. The following will elaborate on the materials required for breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: prosthesis materials, suture materials, hemostatic materials and postoperative nursing materials.
1. Prosthesis materials
Prosthesis is one of the most critical materials in breast augmentation surgery. Commonly used prosthesis materials include saline implant bags, silicone implants and bioactive materials.
The physiological saline implant bag is a kind of bag, the outer layer is made of medical silica gel, and the inside is filled with physiological saline. This prosthesis is suitable for patients who want to increase breast size but want to maintain a natural feeling. Its advantages are cheap, safe and simple operation.
Silicone filler is a softer and more authentic material than saline implant bag. It can be adjusted according to the needs of each patient, and different shapes and sizes can be selected. Silicone filler can provide a more flexible and natural breast effect, and is the most commonly used prosthesis at present.
Bioactive materials are relatively new materials, mainly including autologous fat transplantation and stem cell culture. Autologous fat transplantation is to inject the patient's own fat into the breast area, which can be used for both fat reduction and breast augmentation. The stem cell culture is to use the stem cells in the patient's own fat for culture, and then inject them into the breast to achieve the breast augmentation effect.
2. Suture material
In breast augmentation surgery, suture materials are used to suture the incision, and support and fix the prosthesis. Common suture materials include absorbable suture and non absorbable suture.
The absorbable suture is generally made of hydroxyapatite and poly self suture. These materials will be gradually degraded and absorbed in the human body, and there is no need to operate again to remove the suture. Absorbable suture is generally used for small incision or suture requiring special shape.
Non absorbable suture is generally made of polypropylene, polyester or polyamide. These materials will not be absorbed by the human body and need to be removed again after surgery. Non absorbable suture is generally used for larger incision or more firm suture.
3. Hemostatic materials
In order to ensure the safety and success of the operation, hemostatic materials need to be used to control the bleeding. Common hemostatic materials include hemostatic forceps, hemostatic agents and hemostatic gauze.
Hemostatic forceps are tools used to clamp blood vessels to prevent bleeding. They are often used for vessels with a greater tendency to bleed during surgery. Hemostatic agent is a kind of drug that can quickly coagulate blood. It is commonly used in hemostatic agents to quickly solidify blood, form blood clots, and stop bleeding. Hemostatic gauze is a kind of gauze used to cover the incision and stop bleeding point. It has elasticity and water absorption, and can effectively control bleeding during surgery.
4. Postoperative nursing materials
Postoperative nursing materials are an indispensable part of breast augmentation surgery. Postoperative nursing materials include pressure bra, dressing and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Pressure bra is a special bra specially designed for breast augmentation surgery. It can provide external support and stability for the breast and help to restore the breast shape. The dressing is mainly used to protect the incision, absorb wound exudates, and help the wound heal. Antiinflammatory drugs are used to prevent and treat infection that may occur after surgery.
summary
Breast augmentation surgery involves the application of a variety of materials, including prosthesis materials, suture materials, hemostatic materials and postoperative nursing materials. Prosthetic materials are the most critical part in surgery, and commonly used materials include saline implant bags, silica gel fillers and bioactive materials. Suture materials are used to sew incisions and fix prostheses. The common suture materials are absorbable suture and non absorbable suture. Hemostatic materials are used to control bleeding during surgery, including hemostatic forceps, hemostatic agents and hemostatic gauze. Postoperative nursing materials include pressure bra, dressing and anti-inflammatory drugs. Understanding the application of these materials in surgery can help patients better understand the whole surgical process and prepare for postoperative care.
