How long does it take for Nanjing Plastic Hospital to recover after breast augmentation surgery?
In this era, more and more women choose plastic surgery to improve their appearance. Breast augmentation surgery is a very common plastic surgery, which is also a beautiful way many women dream of. However, the recovery time after surgery is a concern of every woman. This article will elaborate from four aspects: postoperative symptom relief, physical activity recovery, postoperative care and precautions.
Postoperative symptom relief
Within a few days after the operation, the patient may experience pain, swelling and congestion. This is a normal postoperative reaction, but it usually disappears within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. In order to promote the relief of symptoms, patients need to take anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers according to the doctor's recommendations, and cold compress the chest in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to keep adequate rest and avoid strenuous exercise.
Within 2 to 3 weeks after the operation, the patient may also feel numbness and tension in the chest. This is caused by the stimulation during the operation and will gradually disappear. At this stage, patients need to follow the doctor's recommendations for massage and warm compress to promote blood circulation and nerve recovery.
After about 4 to 6 weeks, the patient's postoperative symptoms will be significantly reduced, and the chest will basically return to normal. However, it should be noted that everyone's recovery process is different, so patients should adjust the recovery time according to their own conditions.
Recovery of physical activity
In the first week after surgery, the patient needs absolute bed rest to avoid excessive physical activity. Doctors usually arrange follow-up examinations to ensure that there are no complications at the operation site.
From the second week, the patient can slowly resume mild activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, etc. However, patients need to avoid weight bearing and strenuous exercise to avoid adverse effects on the surgical site.
After about 4-6 weeks, the patient can gradually resume normal daily activities, such as mild exercise and work. But for strenuous exercise and high-intensity exercise, patients need to wait at least 2 to 3 months.
Postoperative care and precautions
Postoperative nursing is very important, which directly affects the effect of recovery. Patients should follow the doctor's advice to change the band aid and dressing regularly to keep the incision clean and dry. Be careful not to stimulate the incision, for example, do not massage or rub the incision too much.
In addition, patients need to wear special bras within a few months after surgery to maintain the shape of the chest and protect the postoperative effect. The doctor will determine the time to wear the bra according to personal conditions and surgical effects.
Finally, patients need to regularly visit the designated plastic surgery hospital for follow-up inspection, timely understand the recovery of the surgical site, and adjust and treat according to the doctor's recommendations.

The recovery time after breast augmentation surgery in plastic surgery hospitals varies from person to person, but usually the symptoms will be relieved within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, and basic recovery will be achieved within 4 to 6 weeks, while complete recovery will take several months.
