It is to prevent suffocation or imported pneumonia caused by vomiting during surgery, injection anesthesia or breast augmentation surgery. For example, the lungs have a protective cough reflex on the stomach contents to prevent them from entering the lungs, but after anesthesia, the throat reflex disappears. Gastric acid is very irritating to the lungs. Once it enters the lungs, it often causes aspiration pneumonia, which can lead to respiratory failure and affect life. If anesthetized after eating or drinking a lot of water, the contents of the stomach can be vomited before digestion into the intestine, which not only affects the normal operation of breast augmentation, but also causes serious complications and threatens the life safety of patients.
How long is it reasonable to fast before breast augmentation?
It depends on the location, type, size, age and the general situation of the patient. Breast augmentation surgery generally adopts general anesthesia, and diet is forbidden 12 hours before operation, and water is forbidden from 4 hours. Strictly speaking, adults are required to start fasting after dinner the day before surgery. After cleaning enema, they can drink 250-500ml of boiled water or sugar water before going to bed, but they are not allowed to eat any other nutritious drinks or solid food.
It should be emphasized that milk food is not a drink, but a solid food, because it takes a long time to digest in the stomach.
In fact, most of the things that need attention are the same. Only a few places need attention, such as the face, so you can't eat bones and chewy things are mostly the same.
Preventive diet:
1. Before the operation, remember that all drugs, supplements and foods that promote blood circulation, such as ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin, red dates and medlar, should be stopped for more than 2 weeks under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Preoperative diet should be light.
Don't eat too spicy food, drink too much wine and get drunk that night.
4. Pay attention to the time of fasting and water prohibition according to the doctor's advice at night before operation.
Pay attention to diet after operation:
1, avoid spicy, too hot.
After eating spicy or overheated food, people will have reactions such as dryness and heat and sweating. There are a certain number of bacteria in sweat, which will increase the risk of infection and is not conducive to the healing of surgical wounds. At the same time, spicy food may lead to incision congestion and stimulate postoperative scar hyperplasia.
2. Avoid seafood and special tropical fruits.
Crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps in seafood are easy to cause allergies because they contain histamine and other ingredients.
Tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple are also easy to cause allergies. Allergy may cause edema in the surgical site and affect the healing of the surgical incision; If it is itching and scratching caused by allergies, it may also lead to local infection and leave scars.
3. Avoid drinking and smoking.
Drinking alcohol will lead to vasodilation, especially after eye and nose surgery, and alcohol will aggravate tissue edema. At the same time, alcohol can promote blood circulation, and drinking alcohol after operation will aggravate the congestion and bleeding at the surgical site.
I hope everyone can eat reasonably according to the doctor's instructions before and after plastic surgery, and eat whatever they want after recovery ~
