How long does it take to recover after mastectomy?

Many women have more accessory breasts in their bodies during puberty because they have not developed well. At this time, their breasts look smaller. In addition, some underwear models are not suitable because of the accessory breasts. At this time, some women will choose accessory breast removal surgery for health and beauty. However, accessory breast removal surgery is generally a minimally invasive surgery with a relatively small incision. So how long does it take to recover after accessory breast removal surgery?

The removal of accessory breast is a relatively minor traumatic surgery, and the operation is performed on the subcutaneous layer. The wound will heal in about seven days, and the wound and deep tissue will be completely healed in about a month.

Accessory breast surgery is generally a relatively minor operation, and all operations are performed in the subcutaneous layer, including fat extraction and breast removal. After accessory breast surgery, pressure bandage is required. Its purpose is to make the wound fit better and allow the cavity after the accessory breast removal to be better closed. After the operation, regardless of the length of the incision, its healing time is the same. The wound will heal in about 7 days, so the stitches can be removed after 7 days. It generally does not have a significant impact on daily work. Do not eat spicy food after surgery. It is best to avoid exercise within four days after surgery, as this is mainly beneficial to the adhesion of deep tissues. At the same time, keep the surgical site clean and avoid getting it wet. After four days, you can do light exercise. After seven days, you can increase the amount of exercise slightly and gradually resume some small-amplitude upper limb abduction exercises, but avoid raising your upper limbs, mainly to prevent the scar from widening. For at least three weeks, you should not engage in strenuous physical collision sports. The reason for limiting your activities is to avoid scar formation. After about a month, you will be able to do some slightly more strenuous exercise, and the wound and deep tissue will have healed completely.

There are many advantages to accessory breast removal surgery. First of all, the surgical incision is small and hidden, and there is no scar after the operation. Secondly, the surgical site is smaller and the intraoperative bleeding is less. Furthermore, the human skin has a strong ability to retract, and with the tight elastic top worn after the operation, there will be no obvious wrinkles after the accessory breast is removed, and there will be no possibility of recurrence.

We should also pay more attention to the maintenance of the breasts in our daily lives. If we want to prevent the occurrence of accessory breasts, the most important thing we should pay attention to is to choose underwear that suits our own size to prevent local fat accumulation in the breasts and the formation of accessory breasts. We should also do more upper limb exercises and breast massages to successfully prevent the formation of accessory breasts.

Although accessory breast is a symptom caused by congenital tissue abnormalities, most accessory breast symptoms can be cured by surgical removal. Women do not need to panic when undergoing accessory breast removal. They just need to avoid their menstrual cycle, follow the doctor's advice before the operation, undergo a comprehensive physical examination and tests, and avoid taking medications that may cause wound bleeding before the operation. After proper recuperation, the disease can be cured smoothly.
