Does Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital need anesthesia during breast augmentation surgery?

Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital, as a professional maternal and child health hospital, provides a variety of cosmetic and plastic surgery, including breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation surgery is to improve the shape and size of the chest by implanting a prosthesis into the chest. When performing breast augmentation surgery, many people will worry about whether anesthesia is needed during the operation. This question will be answered in detail from different aspects.

Preparation before operation

Before breast augmentation surgery, doctors will conduct detailed preoperative examinations, including comprehensive understanding of the patient's physical condition, understanding of the patient's expectations and needs, and conducting necessary examinations and tests. Depending on the patient's condition, the doctor will decide whether anesthesia is necessary.

Generally speaking, two kinds of anesthesia can be selected for breast augmentation surgery: general anesthesia and local anesthesia. General anesthesia requires that the patient be completely put into sleep, and there is no pain during the operation. Local anesthesia only anesthetizes the operation site, and the patient is still awake, but will not feel pain during the operation.

Anesthesia selection during operation

Whether anesthesia is needed during breast augmentation surgery depends on the following factors:

First of all, according to the patient's physical condition and the difficulty of the operation, the doctor will choose an appropriate anesthetic method. For patients with complicated surgery or high requirements for anesthesia, general anesthesia is usually selected to ensure the safety and effect of surgery. For patients with simple surgery, local anesthesia can be selected to reduce the risk of general anesthesia.

Secondly, according to the wishes and needs of patients, doctors will fully understand the patient's ability to accept anesthesia. Some patients may have concerns or fears about general anesthesia, so they can choose local anesthesia to better control the operation process.

Finally, depending on the type of operation and the time of operation, the doctor will comprehensively consider the patient's situation and select the appropriate anesthesia mode. For example, general anesthesia can provide better surgical conditions and patient comfort for some large-scale breast augmentation operations that require a longer operation time.

Postoperative recovery and precautions

After breast augmentation surgery, the patient needs to have a recovery period. Anesthetics may have some side effects on the patient's body after surgery, so patients need to use and rest related drugs under the guidance of doctors. Doctors will make individualized recovery plans according to the specific conditions of patients, including postoperative care, diet guidance, etc.

In addition, patients should also pay attention to the nursing of the surgical site to avoid getting cold, collision and excessive activity, so as not to affect the surgical effect. During the recovery period after surgery, the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment and further consultation, and report the abnormal situation to the doctor in time.

Summary

When performing breast augmentation surgery in Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital, doctors will choose appropriate anesthesia methods according to the patients' conditions and the needs of the surgery. Generally speaking, both general anesthesia and local anesthesia can be used for breast augmentation surgery. The choice of anesthesia mode should comprehensively consider the patient's physical condition, the difficulty of surgery, the patient's willingness, the type of surgery and other factors. After surgery, patients need to be reasonably recovered and nursed under the guidance of doctors to achieve the best surgical effect.
