Introduction
In general, anti-inflammatory injections are required for 2-3 days after breast augmentation with implants. The procedure involves surgically placing high-quality implant materials, such as medical-grade silicone, into the breast tissue, usually between the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles, to increase breast volume and improve breast shape and symmetry. The general reference price for breast augmentation with implants is 8,000-15,000 yuan per session.

Generally, anti-inflammatory injections are required for 2-3 days after breast augmentation with implants. The principle of breast augmentation with implants involves surgically placing high-quality implant materials, such as medical-grade silicone, into the breast tissue to increase breast volume and improve breast shape and symmetry. The general reference price for breast augmentation with implants ranges from 8,000 to 15,000 yuan per procedure, with noticeable improvements typically seen within 7-10 days. If considering this procedure, it is recommended to choose a正规 hospital. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If the patient recovers quickly after surgery, without significant signs of inflammation such as redness, swelling, pain, or discharge at the wound site, and if their general condition remains stable without fever or other discomfort, the doctor may recommend anti-inflammatory injections for two days. This helps inhibit potential bacterial growth, reduces the risk of infection, avoids unnecessary medication, and minimizes the burden on the patient's body.

However, if the patient recovers more slowly, with mild redness or slight pain at the wound site, this may be due to greater surgical trauma, individual sensitivity to foreign materials, or a mild predisposition to infection. In such cases, doctors tend to extend the anti-inflammatory injection treatment to three days to ensure more thorough control of inflammation, prevent further progression of infection, and accelerate the wound healing process.

After breast augmentation with implants, it is important to keep the wound clean and dry, avoid strenuous activities to prevent wound dehiscence and implant displacement, and maintain a light, easily digestible diet rich in protein and vitamins to promote recovery.
