How long does it take to remove stitches after breast augmentation surgery?
After breast augmentation surgery, the general suture removal time is 7- 10 days, and the specific suture removal time depends on the position of the incision and the doctor's habits. The doctor will suggest that the stitches be removed in about 10 days, mainly to remove the external stitches and adhesive tape. After removal, the vicinity of the knife edge can be cleaned normally in 2 days. If the beauty seeker's knife edge does not heal well, the time for stitches removal will be extended accordingly. The position of the breast augmentation knife edge is relatively hidden, generally under the armpit, areola or breast fold, and the traces left after operation are not obvious, so the later suture removal will not affect the postoperative recovery. The most important thing is to keep the prosthesis stable and avoid abnormal adverse reactions. Beauty seekers should go to the hospital for dressing change, reexamination and stitches removal on time to prevent abnormal changes in breast augmentation caused by improper nursing after a period of time. After breast augmentation surgery, patients should pay special attention to the activities of both upper limbs, and do not lift heavy objects or engage in strenuous activities to prevent muscle friction and bleeding or abnormal changes in the shape of the prosthesis. The pain basically disappeared 3 days after diagnosis and treatment, and the stitches were removed 7- 10 days after operation, and the breast swelling lasted for 3 weeks.

Of course, there will be some differences depending on the individual's physique and the postoperative recovery. One of the old problems is that there will be capsule around the prosthesis after operation. Sometimes the capsule will harden, pressing the prosthesis, making the prosthesis harder than normal, and when it is important, it will cause discomfort and breast morphological changes. Therefore, according to the different phenomena of each person, how long it takes for prosthetic breast augmentation to recover is also different.

In addition to understanding the suture removal in a few days after breast augmentation, we also need to pay special attention to some postoperative protection work, among which the more important points are:

1, it is forbidden to take antibiotics after operation, and the drainage strip can only be pulled out after 4 hours, but it should be kept clean and dry.

2. The suture can only be taken out up and down one week after operation, but it can only rest half-horizontally, so as to ensure reasonable rest and avoid prosthesis displacement.

3. Appropriate massage can be performed after stitches are removed. If the prosthesis is displaced or asymmetrical on both sides, it can be adjusted by massage, or it can be manually adjusted by a doctor and fixed with a dressing pressure bag.

4. Avoid strenuous exercise after operation, have a light diet, and prohibit smoking and drinking.
