You will be able to ask the right questions to get the breast enhancement surgery you desire.
How to choose the right plastic surgeon
It is a big decision to choose a breast enlargement surgeon. You should consider the qualifications, experience, and manner of the surgeon. Referring people who have undergone surgery before is a great way for you to find the right surgeon.
You can start by looking at patient reviews and seeing before-and-after photos. You should look for surgeons who have a history of providing high-quality results. Before and after photographs can provide valuable information about the surgeon's ability and experience. The photos can help you assess whether the surgeon is suitable for your requirements and expectations.
Preparing for surgery
Keep your body healthy when preparing to have breast enlargements. People who are sick should be avoided. If you must work, take the time to rest before the procedure. If you have children under two years old, find someone to take care of them while you're gone. Additionally, you should try to avoid strenuous exercise for two weeks. Your breasts will be tender after surgery, and too much movement can cause pain.
Before undergoing surgery, it is a good idea to prepare a healthy diet for the day. Make sure you buy foods that you can easily prepare. You may also want to buy foods that are durable and easy to prepare. Make sure to bring all of your medications. To check in, you should arrive at the hospital at least 2 hours before your scheduled appointment. You should also wear loose fitting clothes that don't restrict your arm movements. A button-front shirt is also a good choice.
Complications
One in five women who have breast enlargements experience post-operative infection. These symptoms include reddening, swelling, pain, fever, and redness. The surgeon should be consulted about their 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. In some cases, the surgeon may also remove the implant and tissue expander if the infection is too severe.
Out of the 450 procedures that were performed following initial implant, 91 were staged and 164 were for clinical reasons. 321 women were able to report one or more complications. A total of 178 women experienced at least 1 complication and 274 breasts had at most one implant. Women who had surgery after breast cancer treatment or prophylactic reasons experienced significantly lower complications.
Recovery
It is important to recover from breast augmentation surgery. The procedure is not considered life-threatening but can be painful. The pain, swelling, and bruising that occurs after the surgery will recede. In order to promote healing, the body will release a variety of anti-inflammatory drugs. During recovery, patients should avoid strenuous activity, including lifting heavy objects. Most patients can return to their daily routine within a few weeks.
Patients will be prescribed pain medication. They can also use over-the-counter pain relief to reduce the discomfort. The patient should avoid any high-impact activities for two to six weeks following the surgery.
