Postoperative nursing of breast augmentation surgery in public hospitals
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of plastic surgery to increase the size and fullness of women's breasts by implanting prosthesis or transplanting autologous fat. Postoperative nursing is the key link to ensure the success of the operation and the health recovery of patients. The following will elaborate on the postoperative nursing of breast augmentation surgery in public hospitals in terms of postoperative wound care, drug use, wearing support bras and precautions.
Wound care
Postoperative wound care is an essential part of postoperative care. First, keep the wound clean, change the wound dressing in time, and check the wound regularly for redness, swelling, exudation, infection, etc. Secondly, avoid external pressure and impact on the wound, and avoid slightly squeezing the breast. At the same time, doctors will decide whether to perform wound suture or suture removal according to individual differences of patients and surgical conditions, which also needs to be handled in a timely manner.
After the operation, attention should also be paid to the scar care, and some ointment or essential oil for scar repair should be selectively used to accelerate the wound healing, such as cytokines, aloe gel, etc. During the normal healing process, slight swelling, redness and exudation may occur around the wound, which is a normal phenomenon. Don't worry too much. However, if the wound has obvious signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pain, increased exudation, etc., seek medical advice immediately.
drug use
After surgery, some drugs are often needed to reduce the pain of patients and prevent infection. Doctors will prescribe appropriate drugs for patients according to individual differences and surgical conditions. First, some pain relievers will be given after the operation, such as over-the-counter ibuprofen or paracetamol. Pay attention to the correct use of these drugs and take them in accordance with the doctor's advice to avoid excessive or long-term use. Secondly, antibiotics are often used to prevent infection after surgery, and it is very important to use antibiotics on time and in quantity.
When using drugs, we should also pay attention to understand the side effects and contraindications of drugs. In case of drug allergy, excessive bleeding, nausea and vomiting, the drug should be stopped immediately and the doctor should be consulted. In addition, patients should also comply with the doctor's requirements for taking medicine every day and checking the wound to ensure full cooperation in treatment.
Wear a support bra
Wearing a supportive bra is an important part of postoperative nursing. Patients need to wear a special support bra after surgery to ensure that the breast is well supported, reduce the pressure on breast tissue, and promote breast recovery. The doctor will recommend the type and time of bra to wear according to the surgical effect and individual differences.
First, you need to wear a special bra in the first few days after the operation to protect and fix the operation area and reduce breast movement and external stimulation. Then, according to the surgical effect, gradually transition to the conventional supportive bra to maintain the shape of the breast. When choosing a bra, you should pay attention to choosing a bra of your own size, and avoid choosing a tight bra, so as not to affect the comfort and recovery effect after breast surgery.
matters needing attention
After the operation, patients need to pay attention to some matters to ensure a good postoperative recovery. First of all, pay attention to limiting high-intensity physical activity and breast movement, and avoid severe friction and collision, so as not to affect wound healing and breast shape.
Secondly, avoid smoking and drinking, because smoking and drinking will affect wound healing and blood circulation, and delay the recovery process after surgery.
Finally, regular follow-up should be carried out after the operation to pay close attention to the recovery of the breast and deal with possible complications, such as infection, subcutaneous hydrops, etc. Good communication and cooperation with doctors and nursing according to doctors' requirements can promote the good effect of postoperative recovery.
Summary
Postoperative care of breast augmentation surgery in public hospitals includes wound care, drug use, wearing support bras and precautions. Proper care of the wound, rational use of drugs and understanding of their side effects, wearing suitable support bras, and following the doctor's advice can effectively promote the effect of postoperative recovery. In postoperative nursing, patients should maintain communication and cooperation with doctors, regularly return to see doctors and deal with possible complications in a timely manner, and follow the doctor's requirements for nursing to achieve the desired surgical effect.
