Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of cosmetic plastic surgery, which aims to improve the size and shape of women's breasts. The following are common procedures for general breast augmentation surgery:
First, doctors will consult with patients in detail to understand their expectations and needs, and assess their physical conditions. Doctors need to know the patient's general health status, past medical history and whether there is a history of allergy.
Next, doctors will choose appropriate breast augmentation surgery according to the needs and physical conditions of patients. The common methods of breast augmentation surgery include autologous fat transplantation, silica gel implantation and saline implantation. For different operation methods, the operation process will be different.
On the day of operation, patients will be assigned to the operating room for general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The doctor will make a incision around the patient's nipple, armpit or under the breast, and then build a tunnel at an appropriate location to place the implant into the chest tissue. During the operation, the doctor will adjust the position and shape of the implant as needed to achieve the desired effect of the patient.
After the operation, the patient will be sent to the recovery room for observation for a period of time to ensure stable physical condition. Generally, patients can leave the hospital on the same day or the next day, but they need to follow the doctor's postoperative care recommendations.
Surgical risk
Although breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, there are still some risks. Here are some common risks of breast augmentation surgery:
1. Postoperative infection: The incision of breast augmentation surgery is a way to implant bacteria, so postoperative infection is a common risk. If the patient has fever, redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms, he should seek medical advice in time.
2. Postoperative bleeding: During the operation, vascular damage may occur, leading to postoperative bleeding. If the patient has obvious bleeding, congestion or swelling, he should seek help from a doctor immediately.
3. Implant rupture or displacement: Implant may rupture or displacement, resulting in asymmetry or deformation of the chest. This condition may require a second operation to repair it.
4. Postoperative breast induration: During the recovery period after surgery, patients may have breast induration. This may be caused by scar tissue formation or reaction of tissue around the implant. The patient should follow the doctor's advice and carry out breast massage and examination regularly.
Although breast augmentation surgery has certain risks, it can greatly reduce the occurrence of surgical risks by selecting regular hospitals and professional doctors and following postoperative nursing guidance.
Postoperative care
Postoperative nursing is the key to ensure the operation effect and reduce complications. The following are some common postoperative nursing instructions:
1. Wear a suitable bra: The doctor will recommend that the patient wear a suitable bra to fix the breast and reduce displacement and pain. Patients should try to avoid wearing bras with steel rings or compression.
2. Massage breast regularly: The doctor will recommend breast massage to patients to prevent and reduce the occurrence of breast induration. Massage can promote blood circulation and stability of implants.
3. Avoid excessive activity: The patient should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for a period of time after surgery, so as not to affect the surgical effect and recovery process.
4. Regular return visit: The patient should return visit regularly according to the doctor's suggestions, so that the doctor can evaluate the surgical effect and check the status of the implant.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery to improve the size and shape of women's breasts. The surgical process includes consultation between doctors and patients, selection of surgical methods, establishment of surgical incision and tunnel, and adjustment of implants. Surgical risks include postoperative infection, bleeding, implant rupture or displacement, and breast induration. In order to reduce the risk, patients need to follow the postoperative nursing recommendations, such as wearing a suitable bra, massaging the breast regularly, avoiding excessive activity, and returning regularly. By selecting regular hospitals and professional doctors, patients can safely perform breast augmentation surgery to achieve the desired results.
