How to care after breast augmentation surgery?

Breasts are very important organs for women. Every woman wants to live a wonderful life. However, women with small breasts or flat breasts are very distressed. In order to regain their confidence, many people choose to use breast augmentation implants to regain their confidence and charm. Although breast augmentation is good, postoperative care is also very important. How should we care after breast augmentation implants?

How to care after breast augmentation surgery?

1. 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.

2. After resting for two to three days, daily activities can generally be resumed two to three days after the operation. 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.

3. There will be a simple dressing on the wound after the operation, and sometimes a bandage will be used 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.

4. In the first month after the operation, you should wear a well-fitting 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. Initially the breasts will feel swollen and not soft, 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.

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

6. Avoid sexual intercourse within two weeks after the operation to avoid injuring the breast.

7. If you are planning to get pregnant, wait six months after the surgery until the breast shape stabilizes. Breast augmentation surgery generally does not affect the ability to breastfeed.

What are the disadvantages of breast augmentation surgery?

1. Capsular contracture may occur after breast augmentation surgery. This is the body's normal reaction to the entry of foreign matter. It also manifests itself in different physical conditions. There is no need to worry too much. It will automatically disappear over time.

2. Some prosthetic fillings will rupture, seep, etc. after a period of time. This is caused by the substandard quality of the prosthetic materials. Therefore, we remind all beauty-conscious women to choose regular medical institutions for treatment.

3. Redness, swelling, fever, pain, etc. may occur, which may be induced by any surgery.

4. If hematoma occurs, it can be effectively avoided through cooperation between doctors and patients. Follow the doctor's instructions for postoperative care.
