What to pay attention to after breast augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can change the shape and size of the chest by implanting plant breast prosthesis or autologous fat. Although this kind of operation has good cosmetic effect, the nursing and precautions after breast augmentation are also very important. The following four aspects will be described in detail, namely, pay attention to rest, keep the wound clean, take medicine on time and pay attention to diet.
1、 Pay attention to rest
After breast augmentation surgery, the body needs to recover and rest. The first few days after the operation is the recovery period, which requires rest to promote wound healing. Lying down or half sitting is the best choice to avoid tearing wounds caused by excessive activity.
Within 1-2 weeks after the operation, avoid strenuous exercise and weight bearing, and do not do excessive activities, especially upper limb strength activities, so as not to affect the wound healing. At the same time, avoid chest vibration caused by intense exercise, such as running, dancing, etc.
There will be some swelling and pain after the operation. You can apply some cold compress to relieve discomfort. However, it should be noted that too long or too long cold compress is not allowed to damage the skin.
2、 Keep the wound clean
Keeping the wound clean is an important part of postoperative nursing. Within 3-4 days after operation, shower should be avoided to avoid direct impact of water on the wound. Clean your body with a wet towel.
7-10 days after the operation, you can slowly switch to a shower, but you should be careful not to let the water directly hit the wound. Use warm water to bathe, and gently rub the skin around the wound with your fingers, without overexerting. After finishing, gently pat with a clean and soft towel to dry. Do not rub and smear.
During wound healing, pay attention to whether the skin around the wound has redness, swelling, exudation or abnormal infection. In case of any abnormality, seek medical advice in time.
3、 Take medicine on time
After the operation, the doctor will prescribe appropriate antibiotics and painkillers according to personal conditions, and guide patients to take medicine on time. In the first few days after surgery, antibiotics should be taken on time every day to prevent infection.
The use of painkillers should follow the doctor's advice and be selected according to the degree of pain and individual constitution. Early morning and evening are the most painful times. You can choose to take medicine at these two time points to ensure that the pain is controlled.
During the use of drugs, you need to pay close attention to your own physical reactions and side effects, including allergic reactions, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. In case of any discomfort, inform the doctor in time and adjust the medication plan.
4、 Pay attention to diet
Postoperative diet is very important. In the first few days after the operation, you can choose liquid food or soft food to avoid irritation to the stomach and intestines. Eat a balanced diet, and take more food rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, which is conducive to wound repair and body recovery.
Normal diet can be gradually restored on the second day after operation, but spicy and greasy food should be avoided to prevent excessive stimulation. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid consuming stimulating drinks and caffeinated drinks, such as coffee, strong tea, etc.
Pay attention to proper diet, avoid overeating, and try to eat less junk food, high sugar and high-fat food. Proper diet contributes to good health and chest healing.
