Preoperative preparation for breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic plastic surgery that changes the shape and size of the breast through surgery. Adequate and accurate preoperative preparation is critical to the success and safety of surgery. The following are the key points of preoperative preparation for breast augmentation surgery.
Doctor selection and preoperative consultation
First, patients should choose experienced and qualified plastic surgeons for surgery. We can do a preliminary screening by searching hospitals with good reputation and real success stories, and reading doctors' professional background, experience, academic papers, etc. online. After selecting a doctor, you can make an appointment for preoperative consultation.
Preoperative consultation is a very important part. It helps patients better understand the whole process and risks of surgery, determine the goals and expected effects of surgery, and carry out necessary physical examinations. The patient can raise any questions and concerns about the surgery to the doctor, and provide their own physical conditions and breast characteristics so that the doctor can develop a personalized surgical program.
During the preoperative consultation, the doctor will inform the patient of the precautions and contraindications of the operation, conduct an overall assessment of the patient, and determine the feasibility of the operation. If the patient has some special conditions or other diseases, further examination and treatment may be required.
Breast shape evaluation and surgical plan selection
In the preoperative preparation, the doctor will evaluate the breast shape of the patient and formulate an appropriate surgical plan according to the patient's expectations and goals.
Breast shape assessment includes the size, shape, position, skin elasticity, nipple areola position and other factors of the breast. Doctors may use professional measuring tools, such as breast ruler and chest circumference ruler, to make detailed measurements in order to more accurately understand the characteristics of the patient's breast.
According to the results of breast shape assessment and the expectations of patients, doctors will develop personalized surgical programs for each patient. The surgical plan may include the selection of appropriate types of breast augmentation (such as silicone implants, saline implants, etc.), surgical site and incision position, postoperative morphological adjustment, etc.
Before determining the operation plan, the doctor will also take a detailed preoperative photograph of the patient, so as to compare and evaluate the operation effect after the operation.
Physical examination and preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to have a comprehensive physical examination to ensure the safety and feasibility of the surgery. Common examination items include blood routine test, blood biochemistry, coagulation function, electrolyte, etc.
The patient should inform the doctor about his/her disease history, medication history, allergy history, etc., and carry out the corresponding examination in strict accordance with the doctor's requirements.
In addition, patients should follow the preoperative preparation instructions given by the doctor before surgery, such as stopping smoking, avoiding alcohol, and avoiding the use of unnecessary drugs. These preparation measures can reduce the risk of surgery and promote postoperative recovery.
Signing of operation consent and understanding of costs
Before surgery, the patient needs to sign a consent form for surgery. Operation consent is an important legal document, which contains information about the purpose, process, possible risks and complications of the operation. The patient should carefully read and understand the contents of the surgical consent form, and sign it after confirmation.
In addition, patients also need to know about the operation costs and related insurance matters with the hospital. The cost of breast augmentation surgery includes the cost of surgery, anesthesia, materials, etc., which may vary depending on the hospital and the surgery. Knowing the cost of surgery can help patients make wise decisions and be financially prepared.
summary
The preoperative preparation for breast augmentation surgery includes doctor selection and preoperative consultation, breast shape assessment and surgical plan selection, physical examination and preparation, signing of surgical consent and cost understanding. Adequate and accurate preoperative preparation is critical to the success and safety of surgery. Patients should choose professional doctors for consultation, and fully understand all aspects of surgery, so as to make wise decisions.
In a word, through adequate preoperative preparation, patients can be more confident to carry out breast augmentation surgery and obtain satisfactory results.
