After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to be hospitalized for a period of time for recovery and observation. The following will elaborate on the operation process, nursing during hospitalization, length of stay and precautions after discharge.
Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is to achieve breast fullness and enlargement by implanting silicone prosthesis into breast tissue. During the operation, the doctor will make an incision at the lower edge of the breast or the armpit, and then put the silicone prosthesis into the breast tissue. The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia, and the operation time is about 1 to 2 hours. After the operation, the patient needs to stay in the hospital for observation to ensure that the operation effect and physical recovery are good.
Postoperative care
During hospitalization, the hospital will provide considerate nursing services for patients to ensure the effect of surgery and the recovery of patients. The nurse will regularly check the patient's wound and change the dressing to ensure that the wound is dry and clean. The patient needs to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and use pillows to raise the upper body to reduce pain and swelling. At the same time, doctors will also prescribe corresponding drugs according to the specific conditions of patients, such as analgesics and antibiotics, to help patients alleviate pain and prevent infection.
Length of stay
The length of stay for breast augmentation surgery depends on the patient's recovery after surgery. Generally, patients need to stay in hospital for observation for 1 to 2 days. During this period, doctors will pay close attention to the wound healing, physical condition and postoperative complications of patients. If the patient recovers smoothly and is in good health, he can be discharged under the guidance of the doctor. Before leaving the hospital, the doctor will explain the postoperative precautions for the patient again, and make an appointment for a return visit to further track the recovery of the patient.
Precautions after discharge
After discharge, the patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions and go to the hospital for further consultation on time. Within one week after the operation, the patient needs to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, keep a rest, pay attention to the wound cleaning and prevent infection. At the same time, patients also need to wear the bra correctly according to the doctor's instructions to avoid squeezing the breast and promote wound healing. During the whole recovery period, patients should also follow healthy eating habits and increase nutrition intake, which will help promote the recovery of breast tissue and the shaping effect of the chest.
