How long does breast augmentation take?
Breast augmentation surgery is a cosmetic surgery that changes the shape and size of the chest through surgery. For many women, having a plump and firm chest is their dream of pursuing beauty and self-confidence. However, people generally have doubts about the duration of breast augmentation surgery. Here we will introduce in detail how long breast augmentation surgery takes and whether Shanghai Meilai Shengzang Hospital is quick and efficient in operation.
Surgical preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to consult and evaluate with doctors in detail. The doctor will formulate a personalized surgical plan according to the patient's physical condition, expected effect, surgical method and other factors. The surgical preparation process mainly includes the following aspects:
First of all, patients need to have a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that their physical health meets the requirements of surgery. This includes ECG, chest X-ray and blood tests.
Secondly, patients need to choose appropriate implant materials and surgical methods. According to personal needs and doctor's recommendations, patients can choose silicone implants or saline implants, and decide whether to operate through the incision located under the armpit, the lower edge of the breast or around the nipple.
Finally, the patient needs to make preparations before surgery, such as stopping the use of blood clotting drugs, vitamin E and anti-inflammatory drugs, to ensure that no complications such as bleeding or infection will occur during surgery.
Operation process
Breast augmentation surgery is performed by experienced plastic surgeons in regular hospitals. The length of operation time depends on many factors, including the mode of operation, the type and size of implants and individual conditions. Generally speaking, the operation process can be divided into the following steps:
First, the doctor will give the patient general anesthesia to ensure the safety and painlessness of the operation process. Then, the doctor will mark and locate according to the predetermined surgical plan, and determine the location of the incision and the placement of the implant.
Next, the doctor will operate at a predetermined incision and place the implant under the breast tissue or muscle. The selection and placement of implant materials will vary according to the patient's requirements and the doctor's professional advice.
Finally, the doctor will carefully suture the incision to make it completely closed. The whole operation process usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the operation and the individual differences of the patients.
Postoperative recovery
Postoperative recovery is an important part of breast augmentation surgery. After the operation, the patient needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time to ensure that there are no surgical complications. In general, the following points should be noted during postoperative recovery:
First of all, patients need to wear a special bra according to the doctor's recommendations to protect the surgical site, reduce the tension of the surgical wound, and promote healing.
Secondly, avoid strenuous exercise, weight lifting and excessive activity, so as not to affect the healing of the surgical site and the fixation of the implant.
Finally, the patient needs to visit again regularly to accept the doctor's examination and assessment to ensure that the operation is effective and there are no complications.
