Preparation before breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to change the shape and size of the chest by implanting prosthesis or transplanting autologous fat. Before breast augmentation surgery, a series of preparations are needed to ensure the safety and smooth operation.
Physician evaluation and consultation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need medical evaluation and consultation under the guidance of professional plastic surgeons. The doctor will understand the patient's health status, personal needs and expectations in detail to determine the feasibility of the operation plan, and explain and communicate the possible risks and complications of the operation.
In the consultation process, the doctor will also evaluate the patient's body shape, muscle structure, chest skin elasticity and other aspects, so as to select the appropriate prosthesis type, prosthesis material and surgical method. The doctor will also provide personalized preoperative preparation suggestions according to the individual differences of patients.
In addition, patients can also learn about the operation process, recovery period, postoperative care and other information through consultation to ensure that they fully understand the internal and external conditions of the operation.
Preoperative examination and test
Before surgery, patients need to carry out a series of preoperative examinations and tests to determine whether their health is suitable for surgery.
Generally speaking, preoperative examination will include the measurement of basic information such as height, weight, chest size, as well as chest ultrasound, X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging. These examinations can help doctors to judge whether the internal structure of the chest is suitable for surgery, and exclude whether the patient has breast hyperplasia, tumor and other diseases.
In addition, patients also need routine blood tests, urine tests and ECG tests to assess their overall health and the feasibility of surgery. These tests can also detect whether there are risks associated with surgery, such as bleeding tendency, infection tendency, etc.
Through preoperative examinations and tests, patients' physical problems can be found in advance, and the surgical plan can be adjusted in time to reduce the risk of surgery.
Preoperative fasting and forbidden drugs
In order to reduce the risk of surgery and postoperative complications, patients need to fast and prohibit certain drugs within a certain time before surgery.
Preoperative fasting is to reduce the drainage of gastric contents and the secretion of gastric acid during operation. Generally, fasting is required within 4-6 hours before surgery to prevent the contents of the digestive tract from being inhaled into the respiratory tract by mistake and reduce the risk of vomiting during surgery.
Some drugs that may increase the risk of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding need to be stopped before surgery, such as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants, etc. These drugs may affect blood agglutination function and increase the risk of surgical bleeding. The time of drug withdrawal and specific drug withdrawal should follow the doctor's advice.
At the same time, the patient also needs to inform the doctor whether there are other long-term medication situations, so that the doctor can adjust the operation plan and medication plan according to the actual situation.
Physical preparation and emotional adjustment
Before the operation, the patient needs to actively prepare physically and emotionally for the operation.
Physically, patients need to follow the doctor's advice to exercise to enhance the body's endurance and immunity. In addition, it is also necessary to maintain good living habits and pay attention to diet nutrition and rest rules to maintain a healthy state of the body.
Emotionally, patients need to maintain a good attitude and actively face the risks of surgery and postoperative discomfort. Psychological counseling or seeking support from family and friends can be carried out to reduce the pressure and anxiety of surgery.
In a word, the purpose of preoperative preparation is to ensure the safety and effect of surgery. The probability of successful operation can be improved and the occurrence of postoperative complications can be reduced through the preparation of doctors' assessment and consultation, preoperative examination and test, preoperative fasting and banned drugs, as well as physical preparation and emotional adjustment.
