Operation is always a stress both for the body and for the mind. However, some complications can be prevented. Actual books and brochures, a conversation with women who have already experienced breast implant placement, and a frank consultation with the surgeon will reduce unpredictable effects.
One of the underestimated results of breast augmentation is postoperative pain, especially among those who have under-muscular breast implant placement. That is why one has to arrange so that she could have rest during 2-3 weeks after the procedure, because, as is known, sleep is the best painkiller. Everything has to be prepared for comfortable and inactive two weeks: the house is cleaned, all the necessary things are brought from the upper shelves, the fridge is full of prepared food, the phone is turned off.
Another unexpected thing – the way the new breast implants look under the skin. They usually seem too high and hard until they settle. Scars and bruising are also common. With time scars fade, they can be treated with cream or oil with vitamins A and E, although they will never disappear completely. With large breast implants one is likely to get stretch marks – the skin inner “traces” of the incisions. Stretch marks give much trouble not only to women with breast implant, but to those who are pregnant, gain weight or muscle bulk, or just grow up headily. To prevent stretch marks formation the breast skin should be massaged twice a day with oil containing vitamin E and cocoa butter 2-4 weeks before breast implant placement.
Manicure-lovers should leave their nails unpainted during the operation under general anesthesia, because their color will indicate the patient's state and her blood circulation. Smokers must give up cigarettes for at least 2 weeks before breast implant placement.
During a certain period of time patient has to sleep on the back, so she has to practice it beforehand. The shower is forbidden after the operation, that is why one should choose some simple hair dress. More fluid and vitamins, less tension and anxiety. Experts advise not to look at new breast implants for a month, because during this time the result may seem unequal. |
