Postoperative recovery time
Breast augmentation is a kind of cosmetic surgery, which can increase the size and shape of breast by implanting silicone prosthesis or autologous fat. So, how long can we return to normal life after plastic surgery?
Generally speaking, the recovery time after surgery varies from person to person, but most people can return to normal life within 4-6 weeks after surgery. The recovery time after surgery will be introduced in detail from several aspects.
Postoperative rest and recovery
The recovery after surgery should first ensure adequate rest. The first week after the operation is a critical recovery period, so it is necessary to rest quietly as far as possible, and avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting. During this period, you should avoid driving cars and sitting still for a long time.
From the second week, the postoperative pain was significantly reduced, and some mild activities could be gradually increased, such as walking slowly, going up and down stairs, etc. However, it is necessary to avoid running, dancing, strenuous exercise and other intense activities to avoid causing too much pressure on the wound.
In 4-6 weeks after the operation, it is generally possible to gradually return to normal life. However, it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and activities that cause chest discomfort, such as basketball, table tennis, etc. The main task of this period is to let the wound heal completely and try to avoid wound infection.
Diet and Nursing
During the postoperative recovery period, diet should also be noted. On the first day after the operation, you can eat a moderate amount of light and digestible food, such as porridge, noodles, etc. From the second day after the operation, the normal diet can be gradually restored, but spicy and irritant food should be avoided, so as not to stimulate the breast and cause discomfort.
In addition, attention should be paid to the wound care after the operation. Clean the wound gently with warm water every day and keep it dry. At the same time, the wound dressing should be changed regularly to promote wound healing. If the wound has redness, swelling, exudation and other abnormalities, seek medical advice in time.
Psychological adjustment and precautions
After plastic surgery, there may be some psychological pressure during the recovery period. Therefore, postoperative psychological adjustment is very important. During the recovery period after surgery, it is necessary to do a good job in self psychological adjustment, maintain a happy mood, and avoid excessive tension and anxiety.
In addition, the following points should be paid attention to during the postoperative recovery:
- Avoid lifting heavy objects and overexerting to avoid pressure on the breast.
- Keep warm to prevent breast from getting cold.
- Avoid bathing and soaking in hot water to avoid wound infection.
- Follow the doctor's instructions, review regularly, and consult the doctor in time for any discomfort.
