For patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery, the following points should be noted:
1. Health assessment: A comprehensive physical examination is required to ensure there are no serious heart, lung, or immune system diseases to avoid surgical risks.
2. Preoperative preparation: Discontinue medications that may affect blood clotting, such as aspirin. Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, and maintain good nutritional status.
3. Postoperative wound care: There will be incisions on the chest; it is essential to keep the incisions clean and dry to prevent infection. Bathing should be avoided for the first week after surgery to prevent water from entering the incision site.
4. Dietary adjustments: Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided after surgery to prevent interference with wound healing. A light diet is recommended, along with increased intake of foods rich in protein and vitamins.
