The early stage after operation is the most critical period in the recovery process. The patient needs to have full rest and recovery, and avoid strenuous exercise and activity. It is best to rest at home the day before the operation to avoid fatigue and fatigue and ensure adequate sleep.
After discharge from hospital after surgery, patients need to pay attention to rest, keep supine position, avoid going up and down stairs and standing for a long time. Take medicine regularly and on time, follow the medication plan given by the doctor, and pay attention to the dosage and time of the medicine.
In addition, patients need to pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of wounds during postoperative recovery. Clean properly every day, use non irritating detergent and warm water to clean the wound, keep the wound dry and clean, and do not rub the wound hard.
2. Avoid smoking, drinking and restricting diet
Alcohol and smoking should be avoided after surgery, because alcohol and tobacco have a certain impact on wound healing. Chemicals in tobacco can damage blood vessels and adversely affect tissue regeneration and healing. Alcohol will reduce immunity and increase the risk of infection.
In addition, postoperative patients should pay attention to the choice and restriction of diet. It is recommended to choose foods with high protein, low salt and low fat, such as fish, tofu, vegetables, etc. Avoid eating spicy, irritant food and too greasy food, so as not to stimulate the stomach and affect the function of the digestive system.
At the same time, seafood and food rich in vitamin E should not be eaten after surgery to avoid affecting wound healing. In addition, avoid consuming caffeinated drinks, such as coffee and tea, so as not to affect postoperative sleep and recovery.

After surgery, we should also pay attention to breast massage and apply special breast care products. Massage helps to promote blood circulation and lymph flow, and relieve swelling and pain. Breast care products can keep breasts smooth and tight, and prevent skin relaxation.
In addition, patients should also pay attention to avoid overexertion of chest muscles, and do not carry out strenuous exercise and weight lifting exercise within a few months after the operation. Avoiding overexertion of pectoral muscles can reduce the risk of breast displacement and compression deformation of implants.
4. Regular follow-up
Regular follow-up is an important part of postoperative nursing. Regular follow-up visits can check the wound healing and implant conditions, and find and deal with accidents in a timely manner. At the same time, doctors can adjust the follow-up treatment plan according to the recovery of patients during the follow-up period.
During the follow-up visit after surgery, patients should describe their feelings and problems to the doctor in detail, and consult the doctor's opinions and suggestions in a timely manner. During the follow-up visit, the patient can also ask the doctor about the postoperative precautions and daily care methods to better protect the health and appearance of the breast.
