How long does breast augmentation surgery need to recover? Preparation before operation
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to enlarge the chest by implanting artificial prosthesis, which usually needs to be carried out in professional plastic surgery hospitals. Before surgery, patients need to be prepared in many ways.
First, patients need to choose a formal plastic surgery hospital for surgery. Choosing a well-known hospital can ensure the quality and safety of surgery. The patient can judge the reputation of the hospital by consulting the doctor, checking the qualification and operation records of the hospital.
Secondly, the patient needs to communicate with the doctor in detail to determine the purpose and expected effect of the operation. Doctors will recommend suitable prosthesis types and sizes for patients according to their body shape, chest shape, skin status and other factors.
Operation process
Thoracic augmentation surgery generally requires general anesthesia or local anesthesia, incision in the surgical area, and implantation of artificial prosthesis into the chest tissue.
The incision is usually located at the lower edge of the breast, under the armpit or around the areola. The doctor will select the most appropriate position according to the specific situation of the patient. The operation time is generally 1-2 hours, and you need to stay in hospital for observation for a period of time after the operation.
During the operation, the doctor will select the appropriate prosthesis type and size according to the patient's requirements and specific conditions. At present, the common prostheses on the market are saline prosthesis and silicone prosthesis. The saline prosthesis generally feels more natural, while the silicone prosthesis has a better appearance.
Postoperative recovery
The recovery time after surgery varies from individual to individual, and generally takes 2-4 weeks. During postoperative recovery, patients need to pay attention to the following points.
First of all, there will be swelling and pain in the chest after the operation. The patient needs to take medication and cold compress according to the doctor's instructions to alleviate the symptoms.
Secondly, postoperative patients need chest massage to promote the combination of prosthesis and surrounding tissues. At the same time, patients also need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, so as not to affect recovery.
In addition, patients also need regular follow-up visits after surgery, and doctors will help patients check the wound healing and prosthesis status to ensure the smooth recovery process.
