The chest is very important for girls. It is not only a part of our body, but also a symbol of our charm. But everyone is not perfect. Some people have to have their breasts removed for some reasons, which will also cast a shadow on their hearts, thus making their lives changed dramatically, Now there is a project in the market called "Let women regain their charm and self-confidence", which is Breast reconstruction 。 Breast reconstruction It is a relatively common operation in the plastic industry. Its types of operations generally include breast prosthesis reconstruction, self tissue transplantation and pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap. Different operations have different effects, and beauty seekers can choose their own type according to their own conditions,

First, we can understand the differences and methods of these three types of surgery.

1. Prosthesis for breast reconstruction is actually the application of prostheses for breast reconstruction. The operation method is simple, and it is suitable for local good soft tissue Cover the patient who is unwilling to lose the autologous tissue of other parts of the body. The method is to place the prosthesis filled with silica gel, silica gel or saline under the skin flap or pectoralis major muscle after mastectomy.

2. Self tissue transplantation. This operation uses self tissue reconstructed breast, which is natural and durable , good aesthetic effect, etc* A variety of lower abdominal flaps and latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps are commonly used. Others, such as gluteus maximus myocutaneous flap, anterolateral thigh myocutaneous flap, transverse gracilis myocutaneous flap, tensor fascia lata myocutaneous flap, have been used in breast reconstruction to a certain extent, but have been rarely used.

3. The traditional pedicled transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap, which was first proposed by Hartampf in 1982, can carry either unilateral rectus abdominis as a pedicle or bilateral rectus abdominis as a pedicle. The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap has a large amount of tissue, reliable blood supply, and has the effect of abdominal wall plastic surgery, especially suitable for middle-aged patients with swollen abdomen.

Secondly, after knowing the type of breast reconstruction surgery, it is inevitable to know the postoperative precautions, so that the chest will recover to a good time.

1. After breast reconstruction, the negative pressure drainage should be continued for 48 hours, and the surgical wound should be pressurized and bandaged. Antibiotics were given intravenously for 5-7 days every 1500-200ml of intravenous infusion;

2. Open the dressing 48 hours after breast reconstruction and pull out the drainage tube; Observe whether the color of the skin flap or musculocutaneous flap has changed, and if there is a purplish red color, immediately take corresponding treatment and nursing;

3. Three to four days after breast reconstruction, patients may have heat below 38.5 ° C, which is mostly absorption heat, and can be given antipyretic drugs or physical cooling symptomatic treatment. However, in case of high fever after 5 days, whether there is infection should be considered, and timely inspection and treatment should be carried out, and effective antibiotics should be used;

4. Sutures for breast reconstruction can be removed intermittently 7 days after the operation, and how to take care of all sutures in 8-10 days after breast reconstruction. The elastic bra should be worn within 3 months after the operation to fix the breast and reshape the breast It can also reduce the tension of incision and prevent the prolapse and deformation of reconstructed breast.
