How to maintain skin after breast augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can help women improve the shape and size of the chest. However, during the recovery period after surgery, proper skin care is very important to ensure maximum surgical effect and reduce the risk of complications. Here are some aspects of skin care after breast augmentation surgery.
Follow doctor's advice
After breast augmentation surgery, the doctor will provide detailed postoperative nursing guidance. These suggestions are customized for personal situations, so they are very important and must be strictly followed. The doctor may advise the patient to avoid excessive exercise and strenuous activity, keep a rest, and avoid lifting heavy objects within a few weeks after the operation, so as not to affect the chest recovery. In addition, the doctor may also recommend the use of specific skin care products and drugs to promote skin healing and recovery.
In addition, during the recovery period after breast augmentation surgery, patients should return regularly to ensure the normal healing of the surgical area and the stability of the postoperative effect. The doctor will evaluate the rehabilitation process of the patient according to his/her personal situation and provide further advice and guidance.
Keep the postoperative area clean
The cleaning of the postoperative area is essential for skin recovery. Within a few days after the operation, the patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions, use mild detergent and soft towel when cleaning the operation area, and avoid rubbing or excessive massage. Keep the surgical area dry and clean, avoid dirt and bacteria breeding, and help reduce the risk of infection.
In addition, patients are advised to use special pillows or pillow pads when sleeping to maintain stability and comfort in the postoperative area. This will help reduce the pressure and tension in the surgical area and promote the healing and recovery of the skin.
Avoid sun exposure
The skin after breast augmentation surgery may be more sensitive and fragile, so special attention should be paid to avoid sun exposure. Ultraviolet rays in the sun will have adverse effects on the skin, which may lead to pigmentation, pigmentation spots and increased melanin. Therefore, the patient should avoid direct exposure to the sun within a few months after the operation, and pay attention to the use of sunscreen, sun hat and other protective measures.
In addition, when bathing, the patient should use warm water and avoid soaking or scrubbing the surgical area with hot water to prevent the skin from being excessively stimulated. Maintaining the moisture balance of the skin is also essential for the recovery and healing of the skin.

Follow the doctor's advice, including rest and recovery, regular follow-up, etc., to help patients achieve better surgical results. Keeping the postoperative area clean and dry and avoiding rubbing or excessive massage will help reduce the risk of infection and complications.
