Preparing for surgery
When you are preparing for breast augmentation surgery, one of the most important things is to be healthy. You should avoid being around others who are sick, and if you do, make sure to take time off work before the surgery. If you have young children, ensure that someone is available to look after them while you are away. For the next two weeks, avoid strenuous exercise. It is possible for your breasts to become tender after surgery.
It's a good idea, before you have surgery, to plan your meals. Make sure you buy foods that you can easily prepare. It is also a good idea to choose foods that are easy to prepare and durable. All medications should be brought. You should also be at the surgery two hours before check-in to avoid any delays. Be comfortable and allow your arms to move freely. A button-front shirt is also a good choice.
Complications
Only a small number of breast-enhancement patients experience postoperative infections. These symptoms can include swelling, pain, redness, swelling, high fever, and sometimes redness. Your surgeon can discuss your treatment options. If the infection persists, antibiotics can be used to clear it. However, if the infection continues, the surgeon may recommend a surgical procedure to remove the infected tissue. The surgeon may remove the implant or tissue expander in some cases.
Of the 450 procedures performed after initial implantation, 91 were planned staged procedures and 164 were performed for clinical reasons. 321 women experienced at least one complication. From these 321 women, 178 had at minimum one complication. A total 274 breasts also had at the least one implant. The incidence of complications was lower in women who had surgery to prevent or treat breast cancer.
Recovery
Recovery after breast enlargement surgery is an important phase. While the procedure isn't life-threatening, it can make you feel uncomfortable. After the surgery, swelling, bruising, and pain will subside. To speed up healing, the body will release anti-inflammatory substances. Patients should avoid lifting heavy objects and strenuous activity while recovering. Most patients are able to return to their regular routine after a few weeks.
Patients will receive pain medication. Alternatively, they can take over-the-counter pain relievers to minimize the discomfort. The patient should avoid any high-impact activities for two to six weeks following the surgery.
