Wuhan Wuzhou Breast Augmentation Hospital: How long does breast augmentation surgery take to recover?
Breast augmentation surgery is a kind of surgery to increase the size and shape of the chest by implanting silicone or saline prosthesis. Before choosing breast augmentation surgery, many women are concerned about how long it will take to fully recover after the surgery. The following four aspects will be elaborated in detail: postoperative precautions, recovery time, postoperative pain and activity limitation.
Postoperative precautions
After breast augmentation surgery, patients need to follow the postoperative nursing guidance given by the doctor. The duration of postoperative bandaging usually varies from 3 to 7 days. During this time, the patient needs to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and lifting objects. In the first week after the operation, try to avoid using the arm force, and do not lift or extend the arms horizontally. In addition, patients should be prepared for changes in breast position, because there will be some swelling and congestion after surgery.
In addition, regular reexamination is required after surgery, usually in the first week, the first month, the third month and the sixth month after surgery. The doctor will give further suggestions according to the reexamination, and check the fixation of the prosthesis and the healing of the patient.
recovery time
The recovery time of breast augmentation surgery varies according to individual differences. Generally speaking, patients can return to normal light work and daily life within 3-4 weeks after surgery. However, full recovery may take longer, usually 3-6 months.
During the recovery period, it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, so as not to increase the pressure on the chest and affect the healing. Also avoid the stimulation of low temperature environment to avoid local infection and inflammation.
Postoperative pain
After breast augmentation surgery, patients usually have some degree of pain and swelling, which is a normal physiological reaction. The doctor will give corresponding analgesics according to the patient's condition. Generally, the pain will gradually reduce within 2-3 days after the operation, but it may last for a period of time during the healing process of deep tissue. If the pain is too obvious or cannot be relieved, the patient should contact the doctor in time.
Activity restrictions
At the initial stage after the operation, it is necessary to avoid excessive activity and fatigue, so as not to affect the wound healing and the fixation of the prosthesis. It is generally recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor at least 4-6 weeks after surgery, and to avoid excessive chest pressure, such as the choice of sleeping position and wearing suitable underwear.
Normal exercise and daily activities can generally be gradually restored 6 weeks after the operation. However, patients should have moderate endurance in any activity to avoid excessive exercise and chest vibration.
To sum up, the recovery time of breast augmentation surgery varies with individual differences. Patients need to follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance, regularly review and pay attention to postoperative pain and activity restrictions. Only reasonable nursing can ensure the operation effect and recovery effect, and avoid postoperative complications.
