What are the necessary examinations for breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a modern cosmetic technology. Silica gel or saline is implanted into breast tissue through surgery to increase breast size and improve breast shape. Before breast augmentation surgery, doctors need to carry out a series of examinations to ensure the safety and success of the operation. The necessary examinations for breast augmentation surgery will be described in detail from four aspects.
Physical examination
Before performing any surgery, physical health is the primary consideration. Before breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will ask the patient to perform a series of physical examinations, including blood tests, electrocardiogram, X-ray and ultrasound examinations. Blood test can check blood routine, liver function, kidney function and other indicators to ensure that patients are healthy and no unexpected complications occur during the operation. The ECG can assess the patient's heart condition to ensure that the operation will not cause too much burden on the heart. X-ray and ultrasonic examination can check the condition of breast tissue to determine whether breast augmentation surgery is suitable.
In addition, the patient also needs to be evaluated by the anesthesiologist to determine whether the patient is suitable for general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Anesthesia has high requirements on patients' physical conditions. Doctors need to assess patients' cardiopulmonary function, liver and kidney function and other indicators to ensure the safety of the operation.
Mammography
The purpose of breast augmentation surgery is to change the shape and size of the breast, so a detailed examination of the breast is required before surgery. The doctor will assess the condition of the patient's breast by means of palpation and breast ultrasound. Palpation can understand the texture, size and shape of breast tissue, and exclude breast hyperplasia, cysts and other diseases. Breast ultrasound can more accurately evaluate the breast tissue and nipple, and provide reference for surgery. According to the condition of the patient's breast, the doctor can determine the specific plan of breast augmentation surgery, such as selecting suitable implants, implantation positions, etc.
Psychological assessment
Breast augmentation surgery is a major physical change, which has certain requirements on the mental health of patients. Before the operation, the doctor will conduct a psychological assessment to understand the expectations and needs of the patient and ensure that the patient understands and accepts the operation. Through face-to-face communication, doctors can help patients rationally understand the risks and effects of surgery, and reduce postoperative psychological pressure and regret.
In some cases, if the patient has serious mental illness or has unrealistic expectations for the surgical results, the doctor may not recommend breast augmentation surgery, or suggest the patient to make a decision after receiving psychological treatment.
Hospital selection and preoperative communication
Breast augmentation surgery is a complicated procedure, which needs to be carried out in a regular hospital. Before choosing a hospital, patients should conduct full investigation and understanding, and choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgery hospital. In particular, ensure that the hospital has qualified plastic surgeons and good surgical equipment.
Before the operation, the doctor will communicate with the patient in detail, answer the patient's doubts and questions, and inform the risks and precautions during the operation. The doctor will make a personalized operation plan according to the patient's situation, and inform the patient of the recovery period and postoperative care. The patient should also sign the informed consent form before the operation to ensure the transparency and legality of the operation process.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic surgery that requires careful preparation and examination. Physical examination, breast examination, psychological evaluation, hospital selection and preoperative communication are the necessary inspection links for breast augmentation surgery. Through these examinations, we can ensure the safety and success of the operation, and avoid postoperative complications and psychological problems. When choosing to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should choose a regular hospital, communicate fully with doctors, and fully understand the relevant information of the surgery.
