1, how to do breast augmentation with prosthesis
Prosthetic breast augmentation surgery is to implant prosthetic material under pectoralis major through axillary or areola incision or breast folding line incision, and finally suture the incision to achieve the purpose of breast augmentation.
2. How long will it take to recover?
About 3-6 months.
The swelling and pain will appear 2-3 days after breast augmentation with prosthesis, and it will subside around 1 week, and the feel of breast augmentation with prosthesis will be more real around 1 month, but it may take 3-6 months to get back to normal, because it is related to postoperative care, personal situation and other factors, so the recovery time of each person will be different.
3. Factors affecting recovery
Postoperative nursing is an important factor affecting the recovery of breast augmentation with prosthesis. If postoperative care is improper, strenuous exercise or weight lifting will affect wound healing and recovery.
Doctors' operating skills and hospital equipment are also related factors, such as experienced and skilled doctors' operation, which makes postoperative recovery more natural and rapid.
4. How to recover faster?
1. Avoid lifting, carrying heavy objects or other strenuous exercise within one month after operation, limit the intense contraction of pectoralis major and prevent the prosthesis from shifting.
2. Correct breast massage one week after operation to prevent fiber contracture and promote blood circulation and wound healing.
Pain and swelling will occur after breast augmentation surgery, which is a normal reaction after surgery and can be controlled according to the doctor's instructions.
4. The diet after breast augmentation should be light and nutritious, and don't eat spicy, greasy, seafood and other foods.
5. Sexual life should be avoided 1 week after breast augmentation with prosthesis; Avoid steam bath and swimming within 2 weeks after operation.
5. Matters needing attention in breast augmentation with prosthesis
1. Most women feel ideal and satisfied with the effect of breast augmentation surgery, and there are no remaining problems. But if you find that your breasts are not soft, different in height and shape, or have unsatisfactory scars, you should consult your doctor.
After breast augmentation surgery, there is usually pain and swelling in the chest. The degree varies from person to person, depending on the method, nature and personal physique of the operation. The pain usually lasts about two to three days, and it can be controlled by taking medicine on time according to the doctor's advice. The swelling will subside in a week or two.
3. Rest for two to three days, and you can usually resume your daily activities two to three days after the operation. You can go to work as usual five to seven days after the operation. Avoid holding your arms high and carrying heavy objects in the first week after operation. Steam bath and swimming should be avoided for two weeks. Strenuous exercise can only be performed two weeks after the operation.
4, two weeks after surgery should avoid sex, so as not to touch the breast.
5. There will be a simple dressing for the wound after operation, and there will be a bandage to fix the position of the breast. You can go to the doctor for a follow-up visit in two or three days, and then you can take a normal bath. Arrange follow-up for another week, month and half a year. The suture of the wound will dissolve automatically within ten days.
6. In the first month after operation, you should wear either a fitted soft bust or a positioning chest strap according to the doctor's instructions, or let the chest tissue form naturally without wearing a bust. The breast will feel swollen and soft at first, and the texture and shape of the breast will be more natural after one to two months. When you mentally integrate it into your body and stop paying attention to the existence of the prosthesis, you will fully recover.
7, six months after the operation can't wear iron wire in the chest, in case of chest deformation and lead to capsule twin contraction (cystic fibrosis).
8. If you are going to get pregnant, it is best to wait for breast augmentation and plastic surgery for half a year before the breast shape stabilizes. Breast augmentation surgery generally does not affect breastfeeding ability.
9. For women with thin figure and weak chest tissue, the edge of subcutaneous prosthesis may be slightly felt under touch, especially the lower part and outer side of breast. Choosing silicone prosthesis material and placing the prosthesis under the pectoral muscle can reduce but not completely avoid these problems.
10, breast massage was started one week after operation, and the method was to push the breast upward, keep this posture for ten seconds as far as possible inside and outside, and do the left and right breasts for five minutes respectively. Twice in the morning and evening in the first month. Once every two months and once a year. After one year, I changed to irregular massage. Breast massage can loosen the capsule fiber tissue around the prosthesis and effectively reduce the occurrence of capsule twins, so it should be persistent.
1 1. Normal physiological phenomena such as sclerosis, swelling and redness will appear in the first three months after operation, but most of them will fade into inconspicuous marks in about half a year.
12. In addition, taking 800 units of vitamin E (400 units in the morning and 400 units in the evening) for half a year after operation is helpful to prevent the atrophy and sclerosis of the chest capsule tissue.
14, the material of breast prosthesis can bear the pressure of prone, collision, extrusion and so on, so don't worry too much about the fracture of the prosthesis. There is absolutely no problem with flying.
15. A few patients may feel paralyzed after operation, but they will return to normal after a few months.
