How painful is breast augmentation surgery? With the inclusive progress of society, more and more women have breast augmentation. Many female friends who love beauty choose breast augmentation to regain their confidence. Most people may not know about breast augmentation. How painful it is to do breast augmentation surgery below.

How painful is breast augmentation surgery? 1 Breast augmentation surgery is generally not particularly painful, and these pains are tolerable for most people. Moreover, breast augmentation surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia, and beauty seekers basically do not feel any pain. Pain mainly occurs after anesthesia, and mild discomfort may occur in the first three days after operation. As long as you pay attention to postoperative care, the pain can basically subside in 3 ~ 5 days. During the recovery period, we must pay attention to postoperative care and have a light diet.

The general process of breast augmentation is to insert the prosthesis into the stripped cavity, where the causes of pain are obvious, including:

1, peeling damage

2. Great expansion of the skin

3. Prosthesis compression

4, pectoralis major stump contraction

5, intercostal nerve is pulled, etc. ...

How to reduce and relieve breast pain?

Operation is very important.

From the perspective of surgery, hospitals must be regular, doctors must be professional, and doctors' fine operation skills are necessary. Fine and gentle operation can alleviate the pain of patients and shorten the recovery period.

2. Technical problems are the key.

In any case, endoscopic breast augmentation is much less traumatic and less painful than blind stripping.

3, the choice of surgical methods

The choice of surgical methods is also very important. In a word, the pain of biplane technique is much lower than that of simple breast augmentation under pectoralis major, and the pain of lower plica incision is slightly lower than that of axillary incision.

4, the choice of prosthesis

The choice of prosthesis size will also significantly affect the pain. Theoretically, the bigger the prosthesis, the greater the expansion to the skin, the greater the compression and traction to the tissues and nerves, and the heavier the pain will be.

Therefore, breast augmentation is by no means the bigger the better. Only what suits you is the best. According to your own needs and doctor's advice, you can have the best of both worlds.

How painful is breast augmentation surgery? How long will prosthetic breast augmentation become soft?

Under normal circumstances, after breast augmentation, the early chest is hard, and this state will last for about a month; After three to six months, as the strength of breast augmentation capsules changes, the breasts will feel softer and softer; This is related to the patient's chest condition, the choice of filling prosthesis, material and size. Patients can accelerate the process of breast softening through some antagonistic treatment methods, such as lying on a hard bed and static massage. Even through oral anti-leukotriene drugs; Generally about half a year, the prosthetic chest will gradually approach the natural soft state.

There are two effects on how long the prosthetic breast augmentation can soften. On the one hand, it is local skin tissue. Most patients with breast augmentation have small breast volume and less skin tissue before operation. After prosthesis implantation, due to the increase of breast volume, the skin tissue on the surface will tighten when it is pulled, and it will be in a tight state. With the implantation of the prosthesis, the skin gradually softens from the expansion process, usually about 3 months, and will only become softer and softer with the passage of time. On the other hand, it is the damage to local tissues during surgical stripping, and scars will be formed during recovery. The initial proliferative period of scar will be 1-2 months before operation and 1-2 months after operation. In this process, it also gradually hardens. With the passage of time, the scar gradually softens 3-6 months after operation, including the capsule on the surface of the prosthesis.

Normally, the capsule is a layer of scar, similar to scar tissue. Postoperative 1-2 months belongs to the proliferative phase, which becomes thicker and harder, and gradually softens and returns to normal with time. In this process, if the capsule contracture is caused by foreign body stimulation and infection, the hyperplasia may not subside, but become heavier and heavier, which greatly affects the postoperative feel, appearance and shape. In severe cases, it is necessary to do surgical release again, or even completely remove this capsule to improve the appearance and feel.

The stitches were removed 7 days after operation. After taking out stitches for 3 days, you can take a bath in water. Please don't wash the wound excessively. Work and daily activities can be resumed one week after operation, and spicy food is prohibited for one month. After surgery, you need to wear a bra for one month, control the movements on your breasts, and avoid wearing an inappropriate bra for six months. Wearing an inappropriate bra will bring a sense of oppression to the chest, so choose underwear that can completely cover the whole breast model to avoid the deformation of the prosthesis. Do not do strenuous exercise within 3 months, and go to the hospital regularly within 6 months after operation to avoid capsular contracture, but if breast augmentation with tissue engineering materials is used, capsular contracture can be avoided. Avoid squeezing the breast hard after operation, and lie on your back as much as possible to avoid the negative pressure brought by gravity to the prosthesis.

How painful is breast augmentation? 3. The process of breast augmentation with prosthesis.

Prosthetic breast augmentation surgery is mainly divided into five steps:

1, anesthesia: breast augmentation surgery requires general anesthesia, and the patient falls asleep after taking the medicine;

2. Incision: Select an incision and peel it to the corresponding level. Optional incisions include armpit, areola or breast folds, which are stripped to the space of pectoralis major or the anterior edge of pectoralis major;

3, separation: fully washing and stopping bleeding the stripping cavity;

4. Implantation: put the prosthesis into the stripping cavity and adjust it with both hands, so that both sides of the thorax are basically equal in size and similar in shape;

5. Suture: suture the incision layer by layer, and then place the drainage strip. You can wrap your chest with gauze after the operation. Before operation, we should communicate with the doctor to determine the size, shape, shape and operation method of breast augmentation with prosthesis, and choose the appropriate prosthesis according to our own situation. Prosthetic breast augmentation is a mature surgical method, which is widely used in clinic, safe and effective, with few complications and satisfactory results.

Eight steps:

(1), patient selection;

② Education and informed consent of patients;

③ preoperative preparation;

④ Selection of breast prosthesis;

⑤ Selection of incision approach;

⑥ Selection of implantation level;

⑦. Surgery;

8. Postoperative care. Within one month after operation, wear a positioning chest strap according to the doctor's instructions, or let the breast tissue form naturally without wearing a bust. After the prosthesis was implanted, a fibrous capsule was formed around it. In order to prevent capsular contracture, breast massage was started 5 days after operation.
