What should one pay attention to after undergoing silicone breast augmentation?
I have recently completed breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants and would like to know what I should pay attention to during the postoperative recovery period?
Doctor's answer (1)
Patients should closely follow these postoperative care instructions:
1. Rest and sleeping position: After surgery, patients should get adequate rest and avoid strenuous activities that may interfere with chest recovery. In addition, it is recommended to sleep in a semi-reclining position to prevent pressure on the breast implants that could cause deformation.
2. Clothing: Doctors usually recommend wearing a specially designed compression bra to support the breasts, reduce swelling, and help maintain the implant position.
3. Wound care: Keep the surgical site clean and dry, and avoid getting it wet to prevent infection.
4. Diet: Maintain healthy eating habits and increase protein intake to promote wound healing. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to reduce the risk of inflammation.
