How to maintain breast augmentation surgery

Many women with flat chests choose to use breast augmentation to make their breasts fuller. Breast augmentation is indeed a good choice, but we must understand the maintenance methods after breast augmentation, otherwise our breasts will be damaged to a certain extent, and the final result is that the chest will become flat as before. Next, let us understand what are the maintenance methods after breast augmentation? What knowledge can we learn from it?

1. There will be a simple dressing on the wound after the operation, and a bandage in the middle to fix the position of the breast. After two to three days, see your doctor for a follow-up check-up and you can bathe normally. Arrange a follow-up visit in one week, one month and six months. The stitches on the wound will dissolve automatically within ten days.

2. In the first month after the operation, you should wear a fitted soft bra or a positioning chest belt according to the doctor's instructions, or not wear a bra to allow the breast tissue to take shape naturally. The breasts will initially feel swollen and stiff, but after one to two months, the texture and shape of the breasts will become more natural. When you psychologically integrate it into your body and no longer notice the existence of the prosthesis, you will be completely healed.

3. Do not wear a bra with wires within six months after the operation to prevent breast deformation and capsular contracture (capsular fiber hardening).

4. Breast massage starts one week after the operation. The method is to push the breast upward, inward and outward as much as possible, hold the position for ten seconds, and do it for five minutes for each breast. Twice a day, morning and night, for the first month. Start doing it once a night from the second month and continue for a year. After one year, I changed to irregular massage. Breast massage can loosen the capsule fibrous tissue around the prosthesis and effectively reduce the occurrence of capsule contracture, so it should be persisted.

5. In addition, taking 800 units of vitamin E every day (400 units in the morning and evening) for six consecutive months after breast augmentation surgery can help prevent the shrinkage and hardening of the breast capsule tissue.

6. Scars from surgery will become hardened, raised and red in the first three months after surgery, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, they will fade away to inconspicuous marks after about half a year.

7. For women with thin bodies and weak breast tissue, the edge of the implant under the skin may be slightly felt by touch, especially at the lower and outer parts of the breast. Choosing silicone implants as the material and placing the implants under the pectoralis muscle can reduce but not completely avoid these problems.

8. After breast augmentation surgery, there will usually be pain and swelling in the breasts. The degree of pain and swelling varies from person to person, depending on the method and nature of the surgery and the individual's physical condition. The pain usually lasts for about two to three days and can be controlled by taking medication on time as instructed by the doctor. The swelling and bruising will subside in about one to two weeks.

9. After resting for two to three days, daily activities can generally be resumed two to three days after the surgery. You can return to work as usual five to seven days after the operation. Avoid raising your arms and lifting heavy objects during the first week after surgery. Steam baths and swimming should be avoided for two weeks. Vigorous exercise should not be performed until two weeks after surgery.

The above introduces the maintenance methods after breast augmentation from various aspects. We can see that the maintenance methods after breast augmentation are very important. If our methods are not done well, it is very likely to lead to the failure of our breast augmentation surgery, and of course the breasts will not become fuller.
