How long does the breast augmentation surgery in Hangzhou Plastic Hospital need to fast?

Breast augmentation surgery is a common operation in women's beauty and plastic surgery. The plastic surgery hospital in Hangzhou provides high-quality breast augmentation surgery services for patients. Before the operation, the patient needs to pay attention to the fasting time to ensure the safety and smooth operation. The following details the time of fasting before breast augmentation surgery from the aspects of diet, drinking water, medical history and drugs.

1. Diet

Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to start fasting the night before the surgery, and the fasting time is generally more than 8 hours. This is because the operation requires general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Anesthetics will slow down the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis, which is easy to cause vomiting during the operation, and even make the operation difficult. Preoperative fasting can reduce food residues in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the risk of vomiting during surgery.

It should be noted that too long or too short fasting time will affect the operation. Long fasting time may lead to hypoglycemia and other problems during operation, while short fasting time may increase the risk of vomiting during operation. Therefore, patients should reasonably arrange fasting time according to the doctor's suggestions before surgery.

2. Drinking water

The time of water deprivation before surgery is usually 2 hours before surgery. Patients can drink light water before operation, but not too much. The purpose of water deprivation is to avoid the risk of aspiration of esophageal or gastric contents during surgery, so as to ensure the smooth operation.

3. Medical history

Before the operation, the patient needs to tell the doctor about his medical history, especially the history of allergy and chronic diseases. This is because some diseases or allergic reactions may affect the operation, and doctors need to make corresponding adjustments or preventive measures. The doctor will make a suitable preoperative preparation plan according to the patient's medical history.

In addition, for women, if they are in menstruation, it is best to choose to operate after menstruation to avoid increased bleeding during the operation, and also to facilitate rest and recovery after the operation.

4. Drugs

Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to inform their doctors of the drugs they are using, especially antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants, vitamin E and other drugs. These drugs may increase the risk of bleeding during or after surgery, and doctors need to decide whether to adjust the use of drugs according to the situation.

In addition, patients should avoid using too many drugs before surgery, especially over-the-counter drugs and health care products, to avoid unknown effects on surgery.

summary

Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to fast for a certain time to ensure the safety of the operation. Fasting time is generally more than 8 hours, while water deprivation time is usually 2 hours before surgery. In addition, patients need to inform doctors of their medical history and the drugs they are using, so that doctors can make corresponding adjustments and preventive measures. Reasonable fasting and preparation can guarantee the success of surgery and postoperative recovery.
