Techniques and methods of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can increase the size and shape of the chest by implanting artificial plants or autologous fat, so as to improve appearance and self-confidence. There are many techniques and methods for breast augmentation surgery, which will be described in detail from the following aspects: surgical method, implant selection, surgical incision and postoperative nursing.
Operation mode
The methods of breast augmentation surgery are mainly divided into two types: the subaxillary approach and the inferior sulcus approach.
The subaxillary approach is to implant the implant through the subaxillary incision, which can avoid leaving obvious scars around the breast. The postoperative recovery period is short, but the operation is difficult and requires experienced surgeons to operate.
The inferior sulcus approach is to implant the implant through the incision at the lower edge of the breast, which is relatively common, has a shorter operation time, and can also achieve aesthetic effects.
Based on individual differences and patient needs, surgeons will select appropriate surgical methods according to the specific conditions of each patient.
Implant selection
Implants for breast augmentation surgery are mainly divided into two types: saline implant and silicone implant.
The saline implant is to inject saline into the cavity implanted in the chest after surgery. This implant has the advantage of adjusting the size of the chest, and the operation process is relatively simple.
Silicone implant is the most widely used implant at present. It has a more realistic touch and elasticity, and its shape is not easy to deform. However, during surgery, the complete implant needs to be placed in the chest, requiring a larger incision.
Surgeons will select appropriate implants according to the patient's size, expectations and medical conditions.
Surgical incision
There are two main choices for the incision location of breast augmentation surgery: periareolar incision and subaxillary incision.
The incision around the areola is made around the areola. The scar left after the operation is relatively less obvious, but the scope of the operation is narrower, and the surgical technique requirements are higher.
The subaxillary incision is made under the armpit. The scar after the operation is relatively hidden, but the scope of the operation is wide and the operation is difficult.
The choice of surgical incision will be based on the actual situation of the patient and the professional experience of the surgeon.
Postoperative care
After breast augmentation surgery, certain nursing care is required, including regular reexamination, massage and wearing special chest support.
The purpose of regular review is to evaluate the postoperative effect and find and deal with any possible complications.
Massage can help adjust and shape the implants, promote recovery and prevent the formation of chest capsule.
Wearing a special chest support device helps to maintain the position of the implant, reduce postoperative discomfort, and promote wound healing.
Patients need to be nursed in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations to achieve the best surgical effect.
Summary
There are a variety of techniques and methods for breast augmentation surgery. The surgical methods mainly include the axillary approach and the inframammary approach. The implants mainly include saline implants and silicone implants. The surgical incision positions mainly include the incision around the areola and the axillary incision. Postoperative care includes regular reexamination, massage and wearing chest support devices.
The choice of breast augmentation surgery technology will be based on the actual situation and expectations of patients, as well as the professional experience of surgeons. Therefore, before undergoing breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully understand different technologies and methods, and consult and discuss with doctors in detail to ensure that the surgery can achieve the desired results.
