How long does Chengdu Breast Augmentation Hospital need to recover?
With the continuous development of cosmetic technology, more and more people choose breast augmentation surgery to improve the shape of the chest. As one of the medical centers in western China, Chengdu has some well-known breast augmentation hospitals. So, how long will it take for Chengdu to fully recover after breast augmentation surgery? The following four aspects will be elaborated in detail: postoperative nursing, activity limitation, swelling regression and scar repair.
Postoperative care
The recovery after breast augmentation surgery requires proper care. This includes keeping the surgical site clean, changing wound dressings regularly, and following the doctor's recommendations for medication. In the weeks after the operation, you may feel uncomfortable or have some pain. At this time, patients need to take painkillers according to the doctor's instructions to reduce discomfort. On the second day after the operation, the patient can take a bath, but it is necessary to avoid wiping the operation area with force, and try to avoid immersing the wound in water. In addition, keeping a good rest and getting enough sleep are also important aspects of postoperative recovery.
In terms of nursing, patients need to go to the hospital regularly for reexamination to ensure that the recovery after surgery is progressing well, and further treatment and adjustment should be made according to the doctor's suggestions.
Activity restrictions
Patients after breast augmentation surgery need to limit some activities within a certain period of time. In the first few days after surgery, the patient needs to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. Generally, within one week after surgery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise, bending, lifting or high-intensity exercise. In addition, in the first month after surgery, it is also necessary to avoid high-intensity upper limb movement to prevent unnecessary pressure and pulling on the surgical area.
The time limit of activities will vary according to individual conditions and different surgical methods. Therefore, you must consult the doctor after surgery and strictly follow the recovery guidance given by the doctor.
Swelling subsides
After breast augmentation surgery, patients usually experience a certain degree of swelling and congestion, reaching the peak on the second day after surgery, and then gradually reducing. Usually, after a week to ten days, the swelling will be significantly reduced. But complete regression may take longer, usually several weeks to several months.
In order to accelerate the regression of swelling, patients can carry out some physical therapy according to the doctor's suggestions, such as applying ice bags on the swelling area, injecting anti swelling drugs, etc. In addition, correctly wearing a tight bra can also help reduce swelling and provide support.
Scar repair
Breast augmentation surgery will leave scars on the breast, but over time, these scars will gradually fade and become less obvious. Usually, the scars after breast augmentation surgery need several months to about a year to be fully repaired. Within a few months after the operation, the patient needs to pay attention to protecting the scar and avoiding direct sunlight and irritation. Some scar repair products, such as scar cream and scar gel, can be used to help repair and fade scars.
Summary
For the recovery time after breast augmentation surgery in Chengdu, multiple factors such as postoperative nursing, activity limitation, swelling regression and scar repair need to be comprehensively considered. Normally, the postoperative swelling will be significantly reduced within one week to ten days, but it may take weeks to months for the swelling to completely subside. The treatment course is controlled within one year or so, and the scar will gradually fade and become less obvious. Therefore, after breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay close attention and follow the guidance of doctors to ensure smooth recovery.
