How to prevent infection after breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common way of modern women's beauty, but postoperative infection is a problem that needs attention. Infection may lead to pain, redness, swelling, fever and other symptoms after surgery, and even failure of surgery. Therefore, it is very important to prevent infection after operation. The following will elaborate on how to prevent infection after breast augmentation surgery from the aspects of postoperative wound care, diet conditioning, personal hygiene and standardized operation.
Postoperative wound care
Postoperative wound care is one of the key measures to prevent infection. First, try to avoid touching the wound, bathing and swimming within 24 hours after the operation. After that, wash with warm saline or the nursing agent directed by the doctor every day, and gently wipe dry. The wound after surgery is usually bound with gauze or transparent patch. The dressing should be replaced regularly to keep the wound dry. At the same time, avoid using any cosmetics or drugs on the wound to avoid infection.
In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention not to over activity or strenuous exercise after the operation, so as to avoid tearing or cracking of the wound after the operation, resulting in the risk of infection. Follow the doctor's instructions, recheck and remove the stitches on time, and consult the doctor in time whether the wound is normal and whether there is any sign of infection.
At the same time, diet conditioning is also an important link to prevent infection.
Diet conditioning
Diet plays an important role in postoperative recovery and prevention of infection. First of all, the doctor's dietary taboos should be followed after the operation to avoid spicy and irritating food, which will stimulate the stomach and affect the wound healing. Secondly, we should maintain a balanced diet, including adequate intake of protein, vitamins and minerals. Protein is an important nutrient necessary for wound healing and immune function enhancement. You can choose fish, poultry, beans and other protein rich foods for intake.
In addition, fiber and water in the diet are also important. Cellulose and water can promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation and intestinal infection. Therefore, you can eat more vegetables, fruits and grains, and drink enough water every day to keep your body hydrated.
Personal hygiene is also an important aspect of infection prevention.
personal hygiene
Pay attention to the details of personal hygiene after operation to avoid the risk of infection. First, keep your hands clean, wash your hands frequently, and avoid touching the wound directly. In addition, try to avoid wearing watches, rings and other jewelry after surgery to reduce the possibility of bacteria breeding.
Wear clean clothes and try to avoid wearing too tight clothes to avoid friction on the wound, and keep the skin ventilated. Use detergent to clean personal items such as underwear and underpants, and ensure that they are dry to avoid bacteria.
Finally, during the recovery period after the operation, it is necessary to maintain adequate rest and good attitude, reduce physical fatigue and emotional stress, help improve immunity and prevent wound infection.
Standardize operation
Standardizing the operation is the basis of preventing infection. It is very important to choose a regular and experienced hospital and doctor for surgery. The hospital should have good sanitary conditions, the operating room should have aseptic operation, a good air purification system, and the surgical instruments should be sterilized under high temperature and pressure before use. Doctors should have rich surgical experience and professional skills, be familiar with all aspects and risks of breast augmentation surgery, and operate in a standardized manner and follow the surgical procedures.
In addition, a comprehensive examination should be carried out before the operation to understand the patient's physical condition and avoid accidents during or after the operation. After the operation, the doctor should patiently check and follow up the wound after the operation, find out the potential signs of infection in time and deal with them.
To sum up, the prevention of infection is an important issue after breast augmentation surgery. Postoperative wound care, diet conditioning, personal hygiene and standardized operation are the key measures to prevent infection. Only by doing a good job in these aspects can we better prevent the occurrence of infection and promote the healing and recovery of postoperative wounds.
