Precautions after breast augmentation surgery in Shanghai Shiguang Plastic Hospital

Breast augmentation surgery is a common cosmetic surgery, which can help women improve their chest shape and increase self-confidence. However, postoperative chest care and precautions are very important to ensure a smooth recovery. The following are the precautions after breast augmentation surgery organized by Shanghai Shiguang Plastic Surgery Hospital.

Postoperative rest and diet

Rest and diet after breast augmentation surgery is the key. In the first week after surgery, patients need to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and physical activity. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and avoid standing or sitting for a long time to avoid poor blood circulation.

In terms of diet, the first week after surgery should focus on foods that are easy to digest and rich in nutrients. Avoid eating fried food, spicy food and too stimulating food to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. At the same time, timely supplement the vitamins and minerals needed by the body to help recover.

Between 7-14 days after operation, patients can gradually increase the type and amount of diet. However, it is still necessary to avoid overexertion and fatigue, so as not to cause adverse effects on the chest.

Pay attention to wound care

Postoperative wound care is very important to help prevent infection and promote healing. Patients should change wound dressing regularly to keep the wound clean and dry. Avoid using alcohol and irritant skin care products to avoid irritation to the wound.

There may be slight swelling and bruising on the wound after surgery, which is a normal reaction. The patient can apply cold compress properly, which is helpful to relieve discomfort and swelling. However, excessive cold compress may cause adverse effects on the wound, so the cold compress time should not be too long.

In addition, patients need to avoid strenuous activity and excessive force to avoid poor wound healing. Visit again regularly and carry out wound care and recovery training according to the doctor's suggestions.

Wear appropriate bra

Wearing proper bra is very important for postoperative recovery. In the first week after the operation, the patient needs to wear a professional fixed bra to help maintain the shape and fixation of the chest.

In a few weeks after the operation, it can gradually transition to a comfortable bra without steel ring and compression. The bra should be suitable, soft, breathable, and able to provide adequate support and protection. Avoid wearing too tight or loose bras to avoid unnecessary pressure or friction on the chest.

Replace the bra regularly to keep the chest clean and dry. In case of discomfort or inappropriate feeling, consult the doctor and adjust the bra in time.

Precautions during recovery

The following precautions should be taken during the recovery after surgery.

First, avoid smoking and drinking, which will affect blood circulation and wound healing. Secondly, avoid exposure to sunlight and high temperature to avoid irritation to the wound. When bathing, avoid spraying water directly to the wound, and follow the doctor's advice for cleaning.

In addition, patients need to visit again regularly to maintain communication with doctors. The doctor will adjust the treatment plan according to the recovery of the patient, and give necessary guidance and suggestions.

In conclusion, the precautions after breast augmentation surgery include rest and diet, wound care, wearing a suitable bra, and precautions during recovery. Patients should follow the doctor's guidance after surgery and consult the doctor in time to ensure a smooth recovery after surgery.
