A lot has been written about the questions and answers before breast silicone surgery, which is frequently performed for women with small breasts. However, it is also useful to know what will happen next. Plastic surgery specialist Op. Dr. Defne Erkara gave information about after breast augmentation.
Your breast augmentation surgery is over, you go to your room, how will you feel?
After the surgery, when the anesthesia wears off, you should stand up and walk a little. Afterwards, you will be given food. After eating it, you will be able to do your daily tasks such as toilet etc. You will feel heaviness in your chest area. As a result, there will be an extra burden. Of course, the skin and muscle will have to accept it. This is a process that takes some time, this feeling varies from person to person. Because although the silicone is not very heavy, we create a space by pushing the skin and other tissues in the chest area. That's why there will be a feeling of tension or even a slight pain. However, the 24-hour painkillers we use during surgery will relieve you during the period when the most intense pain may be experienced.
Afterwards, ice is applied to prevent excessive edema. It is necessary to start ice application immediately. This way, you will be able to heal faster without excessive swelling and pain. You will be able to recover a lot with your first bath in about three days. You should spend this process by resting more. It is also beneficial not to neglect light walks around the house and to do your own business. You will use a sports bra for 1 month.
There are various questions about the feelings experienced during this period. Some say I suffered a lot, some say it didn't hurt at all. These differ depending on:
-
skin elasticity,
-
whether she has given birth before,
-
depending on the size of the breast,
-
whether the skin structure of the rib cage is hard or not,
-
depending on the size of the prosthesis placed
Therefore, no one should compare people with each other. In other words, it is generally possible to make a more accurate evaluation based on the information your doctor will give you after the examination.
It may take up to 1 month. You should stay away from activities such as swimming pools and Turkish baths. If it is sea season, it is beneficial not to swim for 1 month. During the daytime, you should stay in the shade as much as possible and avoid sunbathing.
Prevention of complications
Capsular contracture after breast augmentation is the most undesirable complication. Research has shown that the most important reason for this is the blows received, especially in the first month. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the breast very well for 1 month. In particular, it is necessary to avoid bumping into something, heavy work and sports that require arm movements, and carrying heavy bags, etc. Again, by avoiding these impacts, you can protect yourself from side effects such as bleeding.
In conclusion: breast augmentation surgery is not a surgery that will put much strain on you. However, after all, it is a surgery in which you receive general anesthesia. You must be healthy enough to receive anesthesia and strictly follow your doctor's recommendations after the surgery.
