Will it hurt after breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery. Breast augmentation prosthesis is implanted to change the shape and size of the breast. For many women, postoperative discomfort is a problem they are very concerned about and worried about. Next, we will discuss whether there is pain after breast augmentation from different aspects.
Pain during operation
First of all, it should be clear that breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery that requires general anesthesia, so there will be no pain during the operation. The operation time is generally short, usually between 1-2 hours. During the operation, the doctor will make a 3-4cm incision under the breast, then implant the breast augmentation prosthesis into the muscle tissue or breast tissue under the breast, and finally suture the incision. There is no obvious pain during the operation.
The postoperative pain mainly comes from the exhaustion of local anesthesia and the natural reaction after tissue injury. One or two days after the operation, you may feel pain and pressure, but compared with the pain before the operation, this pain is generally acceptable. The doctor will prescribe some appropriate painkillers to relieve the pain according to the patient's condition.
In addition, rest and proper posture should be kept after the operation to avoid exerting too much pressure on the breast. These measures will help to reduce the pain after surgery.
Pain in recovery period after operation
The recovery period after breast augmentation usually takes several weeks to several months. In this process, some discomfort and slight pain may occur.
In the first week after surgery, there may be some swelling and pain in the breast. This is a normal physiological reaction, which will gradually decrease over time. Small doses of painkillers can be used under the guidance of doctors to alleviate discomfort.
The swelling and pain of breast will gradually reduce in 2-4 weeks after operation. At this time, the patient can gradually return to normal life and light exercise, but should avoid strenuous exercise to prevent poor wound healing.
From 3 to 6 months after the operation, the shape and feeling of the breast will gradually return to normal. Most of the discomfort and pain will completely disappear during this period.
Complications and other factors
Although most breast augmentation surgery will not lead to serious complications, there are still some factors that may lead to longer postoperative pain. For example, complications such as infection, prosthesis rupture, and prosthesis displacement may cause pain. These situations need to be treated in time and according to the doctor's recommendations.
In addition, individual differences also affect postoperative pain. Some people may be more sensitive to pain and feel more uncomfortable after surgery. Therefore, before deciding whether to perform breast augmentation surgery, you should fully understand your physical condition and pain tolerance.
Summary
After comprehensive consideration of the pain during the operation, the pain in the recovery period, complications and individual differences, it can be concluded that there is some pain after breast augmentation. But most of the pain and discomfort can be accepted and relieved. With the guidance of doctors and reasonable precautions, postoperative pain can often be effectively controlled.
