Precautions before breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to enlarge the breast by implanting a prosthesis. It has attracted much attention because it can improve the shape and size of the breast. However, before surgery, patients need to make a series of preparations to ensure the safety and smooth operation.
First of all, it is very important to choose the right hospital and doctor. Patients should choose a reputable and advanced hospital for surgery to ensure the safety of surgery. In addition, to select a doctor with rich experience for surgery, you can evaluate the professional level of doctors by checking their qualification certificates, experience and surgical cases.
Secondly, patients should be consulted and evaluated in detail before surgery. The doctor will carefully check the patient's physical condition and breast condition to understand the patient's expectations and needs, so as to determine the most suitable surgical program. In addition, the patient also needs to inform the doctor of his or her allergy history and medical history so that the doctor can make corresponding treatment during the operation.
Finally, the patient needs a comprehensive physical examination before surgery. This includes blood routine, ECG, chest X-ray and other examinations to ensure that patients do not have organ dysfunction or other potential health risks. If there are serious health problems, the doctor may advise the patient not to operate temporarily.
Precautions after breast augmentation surgery
Although breast augmentation surgery can improve the effect immediately after the operation, patients still need to pay special attention to some matters after the operation to ensure the lasting and safe effect of the operation.
First of all, the patient needs to have proper rest and recovery after surgery. Within a few days after surgery, patients should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting, so as not to affect wound healing and prosthesis positioning. In addition, patients also need to follow the doctor's recommendations for ice and local drug treatment to reduce swelling and pain.
Secondly, postoperative patients need to pay attention to wound care. Patients should change dressing regularly, keep the wound clean, and use disinfectant, antibiotics, etc. according to the doctor's instructions to prevent infection. At the same time, patients should also avoid overexertion or strenuous exercise to avoid affecting wound healing.
In addition, patients need regular follow-up visits after surgery. The doctor will arrange a return visit within a period of time after the operation to evaluate the operation effect and the recovery of the patient through examination and inquiry. The patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions for further consultation and contact the doctor in time in case of abnormal conditions.
Risk and complications of breast augmentation surgery
Although breast augmentation surgery is a relatively safe cosmetic surgery, there are still some risks and complications.
First, infection may occur after surgery. Because the surgery will implant a prosthesis in the body, if personal hygiene or wound care is improper, it may cause infection. Symptoms of infection include redness, swelling, pain, pus, etc. The patient should seek medical treatment in time.
Secondly, the prosthesis may be displaced or ruptured after operation. During a period of time after surgery, patients should avoid overexertion or strenuous exercise to avoid displacement or rupture of the prosthesis. In case of discomfort or displacement of the prosthesis, the patient needs to seek medical advice in time.
In addition, breast deformation and tactile abnormalities may occur after surgery. The patient should fully communicate with the doctor before the operation to understand the possible impact of the operation and make psychological preparations before the operation.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, but before this surgery, patients need to fully understand the precautions and possible risks and complications of the surgery. Patients should choose regular hospitals and experienced doctors for surgery, detailed consultation and evaluation, and complete a comprehensive physical examination. After the operation, the patient needs to rest and recover properly, pay attention to the wound care, and visit again regularly. At the same time, patients should also be aware of the risks of surgery, such as infection, prosthesis displacement, and make psychological preparations before surgery. Only by making these preparations and precautions, can patients safely and effectively perform breast augmentation surgery.
