The following points should be noted after surgery:

1. Avoid strenuous activities: Refrain from engaging in strenuous physical activities or exercises for at least two weeks after surgery to avoid affecting wound healing and implant positioning.

2. Avoid touching and pressure: The chest area should avoid impact or compression after surgery to prevent compromising surgical outcomes and recovery.

3. Diet and rest: Maintain a healthy diet and ensure adequate rest, which will help the body recover more quickly.

4. Take medication as prescribed: After surgery, your doctor will prescribe certain medications, such as painkillers and antibiotics, to relieve pain and prevent infection. Patients should take the medication on time and in the prescribed dosage; do not change the dosage or stop taking the medication without authorization.

If any discomfort occurs, please seek medical attention immediately.
