Detailed description of breast augmentation procedures
Breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery that changes the shape and size of the breast by implanting a prosthesis or fat. It can provide women with fuller and more attractive breasts. The steps of breast augmentation surgery will be introduced in detail below.
1. Preoperative preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, doctors need to consult and examine patients in detail. This includes understanding the patient's health status, expected surgical results, and selecting appropriate implant types. Before surgery, some necessary examinations, such as blood examination and mammography, should be carried out to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery.
The preoperative preparation also includes the communication between the doctor and the patient, answering the patient's doubts and providing necessary preoperative guidance, such as whether to stop medicine, fasting before surgery, etc. In addition, patients also need to sign an informed consent form for surgery to understand the risks and possible complications of surgery.
2. Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery generally adopts general anesthesia or local anesthesia, and the operation time is generally between 1-2 hours. The operation process can be roughly divided into the following steps:
2.1 Incision opening: doctors make about 3 to 4 cm incision around the areola, under the armpit or under the breast according to the patient's needs and body shape characteristics. The choice of incision location follows the principle of minimizing the visibility of postoperative scars.
2.2 Prosthesis implantation: doctors insert the prosthesis into the muscles or breast tissue below the breast tissue through an incision, and then adjust its position to achieve the ideal shape and size. There are many types of prostheses to choose from, such as saline bags, silicone implants, etc.
2.3 Wound suture: After the prosthesis implantation, the doctor will suture the incision and use absorbable suture or non absorbable suture. After the suture is completed, the doctor will give appropriate analgesic drugs and bandages to protect the wound and relieve postoperative pain.
3. Postoperative nursing
Postoperative patients need to stay in hospital for observation for a period of time, usually 1-2 days. The doctor will regularly check and change the dressing to ensure that the incision is well healed. Patients need to pay attention to the following:
3.1 Proper rest: adequate rest is required after operation to promote wound healing. Avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise.
3.2 Pay attention to diet: After surgery, patients should choose food that is easy to digest, and avoid spicy food and stimulating drinks to prevent adverse stimulation to the wound.
3.3 Use of chest support: After surgery, the doctor will recommend the patient to wear a special bra or bandage to support the breast and reduce postoperative discomfort.
4. Effects and risks of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery can improve the shape and size of the chest, and enhance women's self-confidence and image beauty. The results of surgery can usually be gradually displayed within weeks to months after surgery, and the final results will vary depending on individual differences.
However, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks and complications, such as infection, prosthesis rupture, postoperative pain and discomfort, and breast hardening. Therefore, when choosing surgery, patients should understand the risks and effects of surgery in detail, and make decisions based on their own conditions.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery. Breast shape and size can be changed by implanting prosthesis or fat. The operation steps include preoperative preparation, operation process, postoperative nursing, etc. Surgery can improve the appearance and self-confidence of women's breasts, but there are also risks and complications. When choosing surgery, patients should fully understand the effect and risk of surgery, and fully communicate with doctors to make wise decisions.
