How long does breast augmentation in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital take to recover?
Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, as a well-known general hospital in Nanjing, is recognized in the field of plastic surgery. Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery. Many women choose breast augmentation surgery for beauty and confidence. However, after breast augmentation surgery, many people will be concerned about the question, that is, how long will it take to return to normal after surgery? The following four aspects will be elaborated in detail, namely, postoperative effect, postoperative nursing, activity recovery and physical strength recovery.
1. Postoperative effect
After the breast augmentation surgery is completed, the patient will immediately see a preliminary surgical effect. However, a few days to weeks after the operation, swelling and congestion will appear at the operation site, which is a normal reaction. Generally speaking, most of the swelling and congestion will subside within 1 to 2 weeks after the operation, and the shape of the chest will gradually become more natural. However, individual differences and different surgical methods may lead to different recovery times.
In the next few months, the chest tissue will gradually recover completely and achieve the final effect. At this time, the patient will feel the chest more and more natural and soft.
Therefore, from the perspective of postoperative effect, the recovery time may vary from 2 weeks to several months.
2. Postoperative nursing
Postoperative care is very critical, which directly affects the length of recovery time. The professional medical team of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital will provide detailed postoperative nursing guidance for each patient.
Within a few days after the operation, the patient needs to wear a specific support bra to support and stabilize the chest tissue and promote healing. The doctor will tell the patient how to clean and replace the bra correctly every day, and should not be too active, so as not to affect the healing process.
With the passage of time after the operation, the doctor will guide the patient to give proper massage to relieve swelling and promote blood circulation. In addition, it is also necessary to visit the hospital regularly for inspection to ensure the smooth recovery of the surgical site.
In general, patients need to follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance, as well as regular return visits, in order to better restore the normal shape of the chest.
3. Activity recovery
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay attention to control the range of motion and avoid high-intensity exercise. Within a few days after the operation, the patient should pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. As time goes by, patients can gradually increase their range of activity, but they should avoid rapid and intense exercise.
Generally speaking, within 2 to 4 weeks after surgery, patients can resume normal daily activities, such as going down stairs and walking. However, heavy lifting and high-intensity physical exercise are prohibited. About 6 to 8 weeks after the operation, the patient can gradually start low-intensity exercise, such as yoga, jogging, etc. The specific recovery time shall be determined according to the doctor's suggestions and individual conditions.
4. Physical recovery
Breast augmentation surgery is a major trauma to the body, so patients need to rest and adjust moderately after surgery. In the first week after the operation, the patient will feel weak, which is normal. Patients should keep enough sleep to avoid overwork.
The patient's physical strength will gradually recover within 4 to 6 weeks after the operation. At this time, the patient can gradually increase the amount of daily activities, but should avoid excessive fatigue. It should be noted that everyone's body recovery speed is different, so the specific physical recovery time needs to be determined according to individual conditions.
Summary
To sum up, the recovery time after breast augmentation surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital is affected by many factors, which may take from 2 weeks to several months. After surgery, patients need to strictly follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance, especially wearing a supportive bra, massage and regular follow-up. In terms of activity recovery, patients need to gradually increase the range and intensity of activities. In terms of physical recovery, patients need to have moderate rest and adjustment to avoid overwork.
