How long does breast augmentation surgery in Nanjing Plastic Hospital need to be restored?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of plastic surgery that can increase breast size and improve breast shape by implanting prosthesis or autologous fat. In Nanjing, many plastic surgery hospitals provide breast augmentation surgery services. Although the recovery time varies from patient to patient, it generally takes about 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover after breast augmentation surgery. The following four aspects will be described in detail: the first week, one month, three months and half a year after the operation.
First week after operation
In the first week after surgery, breast swelling and pain will occur. Doctors will put special bras on patients to stabilize the implanted prosthesis and prevent its displacement. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining rest, avoiding strenuous activities, and take pain relievers as instructed by the doctor. At this time, the patient may need to temporarily stop some heavy physical activities in work and daily life.
In addition, the first week after surgery is also a critical period for wound care. The patient needs to change the dressing regularly according to the doctor's order to keep the wound clean and dry. Avoid contact with water and bacteria to prevent infection.
1 month after operation
One month after the operation, the patient's breast will gradually return to normal size and reduce swelling, and the pain will gradually reduce. The doctor may ask the patient to perform breast massage to help the prosthesis better integrate with the surrounding tissue. At this point, the patient can gradually resume mild daily activities and gradually start work.
However, at this stage, patients still need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical activity to avoid unnecessary pressure on the breast. In addition, regular follow-up visits are also important. Doctors can check the wound healing and adjust the follow-up treatment plan according to individual differences.
3 months after operation
Three months after the operation, the swelling and pain symptoms of the breast basically disappeared, and the shape gradually stabilized. At this time, patients can try more daily activities and light exercises, such as walking, yoga, etc. However, it is still necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, while maintaining stable support of the chest.
In addition, patients also need to pay attention to breast massage to help the prosthesis better integrate with surrounding tissues and improve the overall effect. Further consultation is still necessary to ensure the final effect and health status of breast augmentation surgery.
Half a year after operation
Six months after the operation, the breast has basically recovered and its shape is more natural. The patient can resume normal daily life and exercise. The breast has been fully fused with the surrounding tissue, and its shape is stable and reliable, and no special nursing measures are needed.
However, patients still need to return regularly, keep in touch with doctors and receive breast health examination. In case of abnormality or discomfort, the doctor should be consulted immediately to ensure breast health.

Rest and wound care should be paid attention to in the first week after the operation. Slight activity should be gradually restored one month after the operation.
