There are two most common types of breast reconstruction:
1. Breast prosthesis implantation is the simplest method, but it needs enough skin and pectoralis major muscles locally. If the prosthesis is implanted under the skin, a serious fibrous capsule will form around the prosthesis, and the contraction of the fibrous capsule can deform the breast, so most patients need secondary surgery to correct it. After the implantation of pectoralis major, the massage function of pectoralis major helps to maintain the softness of the breast. There is a loose layer in the back area of pectoralis major, which is easier to peel off, less bleeding and less injury, thus greatly avoiding the disadvantages of fibrocystic spasm.
2. Breast reconstruction can be carried out with skin and muscles in other parts of the body. If the chest skin and pectoralis major muscle are insufficient, latissimus dorsi flap, epigastric transverse flap and thoracoabdominal transposition flap can be selected for breast reconstruction. The transfer of latissimus dorsi flap to the anterior chest wall is short and easy to operate. The latissimus dorsi flap is innervated by nerves, so the reconstructed breast is soft, elastic and feels good, and the surgical scar is located in the hidden area of the chest and back. The operation of rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap reconstruction is simple, and it can also achieve the effect of abdominal wall plastic surgery for middle-aged and elderly women with loose abdominal wall, killing two birds with one stone.
Nursing care after breast augmentation
1. Use antibiotics according to the doctor's advice after breast augmentation, and observe the wound after breast augmentation. In the case of severe infection, the prosthesis must be removed and operated alone.
2. Patients seeking beauty after breast augmentation should have their stitches removed 7 days after operation. After the stitches are removed, patients should wear tights and stereotypes bras. It is forbidden to wear a general bra in the nursing after breast augmentation to prevent the prosthesis from deforming. It is forbidden to do strenuous exercise within 1 month after operation.
3. After the stitches are removed, you can do breast massage. As the incision heals, you can gradually increase the intensity of massage. Nursing after breast augmentation Early local massage may be painful, so don't give up massage because of the pain of breast augmentation. One month after breast augmentation surgery, you can do chest expansion, arm lifting, conscious deep breathing and other chest activities for more than half a year.
