1, psychological preparation for plastic surgery
Don't expect too much from plastic surgery.
Don't expect too much from the effect of plastic surgery. Many people who have plastic surgery almost want their appearance to be completely new immediately after surgery, which is an unrealistic fantasy. Most cosmetic surgeons believe that plastic surgery can improve people's image and enhance their self-confidence. However, there is still a big gap between the final result of the operation and people's expected psychology, and it takes a process for the operation to be effective. There will be a "depression period" in the early stage of postoperative edema.
Be mentally prepared for sequelae.
Be mentally prepared for possible sequelae and complications after operation. Plastic surgery may also lead to excessive blood loss, infection and scar after operation. In the early stage, there will be complications such as edema, blue skin and oozing blood. Although it rarely happens, you should be prepared psychologically.
Don't treat cosmetic surgery as a trivial matter.
Don't take it lightly because cosmetic surgery is a trivial minor operation. Like other surgical operations, local anesthesia and general anesthesia are needed. Surgeons who perform this kind of operation need strict and in-depth training. Therefore, be sure to find out whether the person who gives you "plastic surgery" has a professional diploma as a plastic surgeon and a license or certificate for plastic surgery. We should not only know the professional background of doctors, but also know their practical ability. Some doctors have high academic qualifications and have been abroad, but they have little clinical contact and lack practical experience. This requires us to ask doctors in many ways to understand the evaluation of former beauty seekers, that is, to look at doctors' word of mouth and find doctors with good skills. There are many doctors in every plastic surgery hospital, but the technology and experience are often concentrated on some doctors, who have certain technical authority.
It's best to go to several plastic surgery institutions, compare the feelings of each doctor, observe and compare, and find the most suitable plastic surgeon for you. Before receiving plastic surgery, you must consult a plastic surgeon in detail, and the plastic surgeon will make a professional evaluation of your requirements. The language should be easy to understand and explain the operation mode, process, possible effects or possible accidents and complications. Rest time and matters needing attention after operation; The burden of operation cost and complications treatment cost. Provide a variety of options for surgical schemes, explain their advantages and disadvantages, fully respect your willingness to choose, compare patiently, and do not force you to choose a certain application material or a certain operation and operation method.
Know the hospital where the operation is performed.
Find out whether the hospital or clinic that will operate on you has the required plastic surgery equipment or the corresponding conditions. Nowadays, many people often go to private clinics or even beauty salons for plastic surgery, instead of going to regular hospitals or formal plastic surgery institutions. In this way, due to the limitations of equipment and conditions in these places, the effect of the operation has been affected.
2. What can't I eat after plastic surgery?
1. A food containing Chinese medicinal components for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
Avoid eating: Chinese traditional medicines such as angelica, safflower and Chuanxiong.
Reason: If you eat these foods after plastic surgery, it is likely that the wound that has stopped bleeding will ooze blood again, and even cause local hematoma, which will prolong the recovery process.
Tips: If you do small-incision precise plastic surgery such as removing bags under the eyes through internal incision and removing buccal fat pad through small incision, the bleeding may not be completely stopped during the operation due to the fine operation of small incision. If plastic surgery is a large-scale, exudative operation (such as liposuction, etc. ), avoid eating "blood-activating" food after plastic surgery. In addition, because alcohol can also promote blood circulation, alcohol should be avoided in the short term after plastic surgery.
2. Spicy and allergic food
Avoid eating: spicy and seafood, tropical fruits and other foods that are easy to cause allergies.
Reason: People who eat spicy or seafood can easily cause allergies; Tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple are also susceptible to allergies. When allergic, the skin will be red and rash, and there will be symptoms such as molting and itching. Because plastic surgery mostly has skin incision, allergy may cause edema at the surgical site, leading to delayed healing of the incision. If you scratch the skin at the plastic surgery site because of skin itching, it may also lead to local infection.
Tips: beauty seekers must eat soft food after plastic surgery to minimize the problems such as incision dehiscence and wound bleeding caused by chewing. There was once a beauty seeker who had undergone mandibular angle plastic surgery and oral incision. Because of his greedy mouth, he chewed a chicken leg, which caused the oral incision to crack during plastic surgery and had to be sutured again.
3. Foods that are too hard and need to be chewed hard
Avoid food: nuts and other foods that need to be chewed hard.
Reason: After plastic surgery, you must eat soft food to minimize the problems such as incision dehiscence and wound bleeding caused by chewing.
Tips: It involves plastic surgery in and around the oral cavity, such as mandibular angle plastic surgery, buccal fat pad removal, cleft lip and palate repair, thick lip thinning and thin lip thickening, facial rhytidectomy, etc. Never use the masseter muscle hard.
