How long can you resume normal exercise after surgery?
Nowadays, plastic surgery is more and more common in the field of beauty. Breast augmentation surgery, as one of the common plastic surgery, can help women realize their wish of plump breasts. However, normal exercise can only be started after a period of recovery after surgery. The following will elaborate the process of postoperative recovery from four aspects: 24-hour rest, mild activity in the first week, gradual recovery exercise in the fourth week, and the importance of doctor's guidance.
24 hour rest after operation
Plastic surgery is a wound to the body. Rest is vital in the 24 hours after surgery. Postoperative rest can reduce the pressure on the surgical site, help to heal the wound, and also help to reduce postoperative discomfort and swelling. Generally, doctors will advise patients to keep quiet and avoid strenuous activities within 24 hours after surgery. During this period, patients can choose to lie down or sit down for rest, but they need to avoid strenuous exercise, so as not to affect the postoperative rehabilitation process.
In addition, during this period, the doctor will arrange a follow-up visit after the operation, check the wound and replace the bra. The patient should be nursed and dressed according to the doctor's requirements, and should not remove the bra and bandage on the wound.
Mild activity in the first week
After a week, the patient can gradually resume some mild activities, but avoid strenuous exercise and lifting weights. Patients can perform some basic actions in daily life, such as getting up slowly, walking slowly, washing, etc. However, we still need to follow the doctor's advice, such as avoiding bathing when the water temperature is too high, avoiding standing for a long time, and avoiding going up and down stairs.
During this week, the wound will heal gradually, but it still needs to be carefully protected from the impact of external forces. The patient should avoid massaging the wound with force, and pay attention to keeping the wound dry and clean.
The fourth week's gradual recovery exercise
In the fourth week after operation, the patient can gradually resume some exercise. At this stage, patients can start some light exercises and daily activities, such as walking, yoga, etc. However, it is still necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and chest overexertion to avoid chest discomfort or wound splitting.
In addition, the patient still needs to continue to follow the doctor's requirements for further consultation. The doctor will check and evaluate the patient's condition to determine whether the exercise intensity can be gradually increased.
Importance of doctor's guidance
The recovery period after plastic surgery is very critical, and the guidance of doctors is crucial. Only under the guidance of doctors can patients adjust their diet and rest correctly and exercise reasonably. Doctors will provide targeted suggestions and guidance for patients according to their specific conditions and surgical effects.
The doctor's guidance also includes postoperative health care knowledge, such as how to properly clean the wound, how to wear a bra, and how to massage. These instructions can help patients recover better after surgery and avoid complications.
summary
Plastic surgery is an operation that needs a recovery period, and breast augmentation surgery is no exception.
