Chongqing Shiguang Hospital: risks and precautions of breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery, which can help women improve the shape and size of the chest and enhance self-confidence. However, like any surgery, breast augmentation surgery also has certain risks. When choosing surgery, patients need to understand these risks and take appropriate precautions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery. The risks and precautions of breast augmentation surgery will be elaborated from four aspects.
1. Preoperative evaluation and preparation
Before breast augmentation surgery, patients need to undergo a comprehensive preoperative assessment and preparation. First, the doctor will perform a physical examination to assess the patient's overall health and chest shape. Patients should describe their expectations and needs to doctors in detail so that doctors can formulate the most appropriate surgical plan.
In addition, patients also need blood tests, electrocardiogram and mammography to assess whether the body is suitable for surgery. Patients should also stop taking NSAIDs and anticoagulants to reduce the risk of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding.
Finally, patients should communicate with their families or friends in advance to ensure their support and care for the operation. The postoperative recovery period is long, and the patient may need help to complete activities of daily living.
2. Risk of breast augmentation surgery
Although breast augmentation surgery is widely accepted and has achieved good results, there are still some risks. First, the operation itself may lead to complications such as postoperative bleeding, infection and scar formation. Secondly, the surrounding tissues and nerves may be damaged during the operation, resulting in abnormal breast sensation or nipple areola changes.
In addition, patients may have anesthesia risks, such as allergic reactions, dyspnea and cardiovascular events. After surgery, patients may also experience problems such as breast asymmetry, capsule contraction and rupture. Therefore, before deciding to perform breast augmentation surgery, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks of surgery and weigh the advantages and disadvantages.
3. Postoperative nursing and recovery
Postoperative nursing and recovery is an important link to ensure the success of the operation. Postoperative breast needs special care and protection. Patients should wear special bras according to the doctor's advice to avoid strenuous exercise and lifting heavy objects, so as not to affect the wound healing.
Swelling, pain and congestion may occur after surgery, which are normal reactions. Patients can relieve their discomfort by cold compress and taking pain relieving drugs. In addition, the patient should follow the doctor's regular follow-up arrangements and pay attention to whether the breast healing is normal.
The postoperative recovery period is generally 4 to 6 weeks, during which strenuous exercise and excessive breast stimulation should be avoided as far as possible. Patients should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and patiently wait for the recovery process. In case of abnormal symptoms, the patient should contact the doctor for consultation and treatment.
4. Understand postoperative risks and keep healthy
The results of breast augmentation surgery are long-term, but not permanent. Breast implants may need to be repositioned or replaced, so patients need to see a doctor regularly to monitor the condition of the breast. In addition, patients should also have regular breast examinations and pay attention to whether there are abnormal changes.
In order to maintain breast health, patients should pay attention to avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays, and avoid smoking and excessive drinking. Reasonable diet and proper exercise can help maintain the health of the body and help maintain the breast for a long time.
Summary
Breast augmentation surgery is an effective method to improve breast shape and size, but it also comes with certain risks. When choosing surgery, patients should fully understand the risks and precautions of surgery and fully communicate with doctors. Preoperative evaluation and preparation, risks of the operation itself, postoperative care and recovery, and understanding and keeping healthy of postoperative risks are all important links to ensure the success of the operation and breast health.
