Is breast surgery good?

Breast plastic surgery has become popular in recent years and is also the cosmetic surgery method chosen by many female friends. They seek their own value by injecting hyaluronic acid or silicone into the breasts to increase the size of the breasts. Although breast plastic surgery can give women a proud figure, it can lead to difficulties in breastfeeding, inability to breastfeed, and breast deformation. It is recommended that women should pay attention to the care measures after breast augmentation.

1. Is breast plastic surgery good?

1.1. After breast augmentation surgery, some people may occasionally experience chest stiffness, which is the result of the implant being surrounded by the surrounding dura mater. The worst-case scenario at this time is to remove the implant and replace it. Of course, the incidence of this situation is extremely low. If you choose a safe and professional hospital, this situation can be prevented.

1.2. The patient's personal physical condition may make it difficult to adapt for a period of time after the operation. This side effect can be treated by massaging the chest according to the doctor's instructions. If you persist for a few months, it will improve. If you still feel uncomfortable, please communicate with the attending physician in time.

1.3. Filler rupture. This happens in only 5% of cases and occurs ten years after surgery. In this case, the filler needs to be removed and a secondary breast augmentation surgery needs to be performed.

2. What is breast plastic surgery?

Breast plastic surgery includes: breast augmentation with implants, breast augmentation with autologous fat transplantation, correction of inverted nipple, correction of ptosis, areolar surgery, nipple reduction, and breast reduction. Breast augmentation surgery with implants is a method of placing implant materials suitable for the patient's chest type on the chest through surgery. There are many types of incisions, which can be selected according to the patient's specific basic conditions.

3. Introduction to breast plastic surgery methods

3.1. The surgical incision is generally divided into axillary top incision, anterior axillary line incision, areola incision and inframammary fold incision;

3.2. According to the implantation level, the prosthesis can be divided into two types: the level behind the gland and the level behind the pectoralis major muscle;

3.3. Generally, the incision is made through the top of the axillary fossa and the posterior layer of the pectoralis major muscle, because the incision is concealed, feels natural, and is less likely to cause capsular contracture.

Problems after breast plastic surgery

1. Pain management in breast plastic surgery

Obvious pain usually occurs within 24 hours after surgery, and severe pain requires taking analgesics. Within 2 weeks after the operation, the falling and shaking of the breasts may sometimes cause pain. Wearing a suitable bra can play a good preventive role in this. Sudden swelling and pain in one breast may indicate severe bleeding or infection around the implant.

2. Bandaging for breast plastic surgery

For 24-48 hours after surgery, the breasts are usually bandaged with an elastic bandage. For patients whose surgical incision is in the armpit, it is more important to use an elastic bandage after surgery to prevent the implanted prosthesis from shifting upward. Within 2 weeks after the operation, the patient needs to wear a bra except when bathing.

3. Incision care for breast plastic surgery

The incision dressing should be changed regularly after surgery. You can take a bath after the operation, but the incision area and bra must be kept dry within 1 week after the operation. To prevent breast pain, you can wear a bra when bathing after surgery, and replace the wet bra after bathing. After one month, you can take off your bra when bathing.

4. The healing process of breast plastic surgery

After surgery, the breast tissue swells and appears larger. As the swelling subsides, the breasts will basically return to their normal shape after 2 weeks. Patients with slower recovery may need 6 weeks.
