Precautions after breast augmentation surgery in Guangzhou Hospital

With the development of society, breast augmentation has become one of the choices for many women to pursue perfect figure. As a surgical operation, patients need to pay attention and care after breast augmentation to ensure the surgical effect and postoperative recovery. The following are the precautions after breast augmentation surgery in Guangzhou Hospital.

Keep rest and bed rest after operation

Within 24 hours after the operation, the patient needs to remain completely in bed. At this time, strenuous activities should be avoided and rest is the key to promote wound healing and reduce postoperative discomfort. The patient should try to stay flat, not sit for a long time or alternate sitting and lying, and avoid overexertion, so as not to affect the postoperative effect. At the same time, keeping a rest can also help reduce postoperative pain.

Within 48 hours after the operation, you can exercise properly, but you still need to avoid strenuous exercise, such as weight lifting, fast running, etc. We should slowly resume daily activities according to our own conditions to avoid overwork and increase the risk of postoperative complications.

Pay attention to keep the wound dry and prevent infection

Within two weeks after the operation, the patient should pay attention to keeping the wound dry and clean. The patient may feel slight pain and swelling after the operation. When cleaning the wound, avoid wiping it with force. It is recommended to gently wipe the wound with the cleaner or normal saline recommended by the doctor, and then use clean gauze for dressing.

When bathing, try to avoid the direct impact of water on the wound to avoid infection or wound dehiscence. Choose warm water for bathing, and pay attention to gently dry the skin around the wound with a clean towel.

Pay attention to wear and exercise after operation

It is very important to wear the correct bra after surgery. Doctors usually advise patients to use special postoperative bras to provide the best support and protection. The selection of bra should be appropriate, not too tight or too loose, so as not to affect the postoperative effect and wound healing.

Generally, patients can resume mild exercise within two weeks after surgery, such as walking, yoga, etc. However, it is necessary to avoid high-intensity exercise and excessive use of pectoralis major. The doctor will make a suitable exercise recovery plan according to the specific situation of the patient, and the patient should strictly follow the doctor's instructions to reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Pay attention to living habits and diet

After surgery, patients should adjust their living habits to avoid the influence of some bad habits on the surgical effect. For example, we should avoid staying up late, smoking and drinking alcohol, which will not only increase the risk of postoperative infection, but also may affect the surgical effect.

In terms of diet, patients should follow the doctor's advice, choose nutritionally balanced food, and take more protein and vitamins, which is conducive to wound healing and postoperative recovery.

To sum up, patients after breast augmentation surgery need to pay attention to the precautions of keeping rest and bed rest, keeping the wound dry and preventing infection, wearing and exercising correctly, adjusting living habits and diet, etc. Following these guidelines can minimize postoperative discomfort and promote wound healing, thus effectively improving the surgical effect.
