Preparing for breast lift treatment
Being prepared for enlargement and breast lift helps you to have a stress-free recovery. This includes several things you need to do before going to the hospital. Below are some of the preoperative preparations for breast augmentation and breast lift.
Cleaning
Cleaning and doing household chores can be hard work on your best day. Therefore, doing some of these things before the operation can be helpful. For example, you may want to hang laundry or take out buckets. Then, when you are recovering, you will not have to worry about doing them for a few days.
Shopping
You can't go shopping for a while after the operation. So, going shopping before you go to the hospital can be very helpful. Besides, some patients like to use online shopping services that deliver the purchase to them. You also need to prepare food and put it in the freezer because you have to avoid cooking for a few days.
Organizing
When we are healthy, we usually can't organize everything our body does during the day. So, after the operation, you will feel the impact of the smallest task. For this reason, you may want to take a look at your home and make essential duties more accessible. For example, you may want to move some utensils, clothes, or other essentials to the bottom of the shelves, so you don't have to stretch too much.
Children and pets
Taking care of children and pets is not easy. You can ask your friends or family to help you take care of your children and pets during the first few days of your recovery period. That way, you'll get rid of stress as much as possible.
Driving
It would be best if you did not drive home after the operation. This is because of the side effects after anesthesia and that you may be in pain. So, you need to bring someone with you to take you home.
Dressing up
The surgeon will tell you to bring a bra with you on the day of the operation. Putting some comfortable clothes in place in the house that you can easily access when you enter the house is very useful for your recovery. Proper and loose clothing that opens from the front is great. You should wear loose-fitting, open-toed shoes because you should avoid bending for a few days.
Eating and drinking
After surgery, we recommend eating high-protein, low-sodium, low-sugar foods. This includes fresh fruits and vegetables. We also recommend drinking plenty of water and avoiding caffeinated or sugary drinks. Having a healthy diet will help you recover faster.
Sleeping
Having extra pillows around the house can be helpful because you can get a good night's sleep after surgery. We recommend sleeping on your back at an angle (25 to 45 degrees) for the first few days after surgery. These tips will help you prepare for breast augmentation and breast lift during the recovery period. It is also important to follow your injury instructions.
Postoperative care for breast augmentation and breast lift
What can I expect after breast augmentation surgery?
In Medbelle, we want to tell you exactly what to expect after surgery. How can you do such a great thing when you don't know what's going to happen next? We think that when you see what's going on, you feel ready and able to handle it. In consultation with your surgeon, he or she will also talk to you about post-enlargement care and breast lift. They can tell you approximately when you can go to work, exercise and drive after the operation. Once you have left the hospital after surgery, you will need to see your surgeon again. This appointment usually occurs 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Your surgeon will monitor your progress and make sure your recovery goes as expected. Also, they remove non-absorbable sutures and recommend that you take further care and require more dressing. Below are some general information and care after breast augmentation surgery.
How will I feel after a breast lift?
If you are entirely anesthetized, you will wake up slowly after the operation. That's why you feel drowsy, but it goes away after a few hours. Besides, complete anesthesia for 1 to 2 days after surgery will affect your memory and concentration. Again, this will be fixed. You will need to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days after the operation. If your surgery were accompanied by thematic and sedative anesthesia, your recovery would be faster, and you will be discharged the same day.
