Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery. Many women use this surgery to improve their chest shape and size. However, after breast augmentation surgery, patients need to pay attention to some nursing matters to ensure recovery and effect after surgery. The following details the nursing matters that need attention after breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: rest after surgery, wound care, diet adjustment and regular review.
Postoperative rest
Postoperative rest is very important, and patients need to give themselves sufficient time to recover and rest. 3-5 days after the operation, the patient needs to stay in bed and rest, avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion, and try to keep the body stable and comfortable. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the surgical site dry to avoid the risk of contamination and infection.
During bed rest, pillows with appropriate hardness and softness can be used to support the surgical site to reduce the stimulation of exercise and pressure on the surgical site. In addition, avoid touching the surgical site with hands to avoid infection or discomfort. Maintaining good sleep quality and emotional stability is also very helpful for postoperative recovery.
Wound care
Wound care is an important part after surgery. Patients need to pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the wound. It is necessary to gently clean the surgical site with normal saline every day, then wipe around the wound with sterile gauze, and apply appropriate nursing drugs to promote wound healing. Before removing the suture or under the guidance of the doctor, avoid forcefully wiping and touching the surgical site to prevent infection.
In addition, patients should also pay attention to avoiding the use of cosmetics and lotions near the surgical site, so as not to stimulate the wound and cause infection. Regular gauze replacement and wound care under the guidance of doctors are also necessary.
Diet adjustment
The postoperative diet adjustment has an important impact on the recovery and effect of surgery. Within a few days after the operation, the patient needs to follow the doctor's advice, choose soft food or liquid food, and avoid eating spicy, stimulating and greasy food. Proper intake of fiber rich foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, will help digestion and defecation and avoid constipation.
In addition, the patient needs to increase the intake of protein and nutrients in an appropriate amount to help the wound healing and body recovery. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, caffeine and other substances harmful to rehabilitation will help speed up the process of postoperative rehabilitation.
Regular review

The reexamination includes evaluation of postoperative recovery, examination and dressing change of wounds, observation of breast morphology, etc. In addition, patients also need to follow the doctor's guidance and carry out relevant projects on time, such as massage and treatment, to promote the stability and durability of the surgical effect.
