In China's accredited plastic surgery hospitals, medications are often injected into the surgical cavity during the procedure, effectively reducing the incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to Western ethnicities, Chinese women exhibit a lower rate of hardening after breast augmentation, making silicone implant-based procedures more suitable for Chinese women.
How to prevent hardening after breast augmentation?
The most effective preventive measure is consistent, proper massage post-surgery. Typically starting 6-7 days after surgery, massage should be performed 2-3 times daily for at least 5 minutes per session. Maintaining this routine for over 3 months effectively prevents breast hardening.
During surgery, silicone implants are placed within a pocket created by the surgeon, securing them in a relatively fixed position. The early postoperative period is critical for stabilizing implant placement. Therefore, wearing a properly fitted bra under medical guidance is essential. By approximately 7-10 days post-surgery, the fibrous capsule surrounding the implant has largely formed, and its position typically stabilizes.
Seek medical attention promptly if lumps develop post-surgery.
While breast shape, texture, and position generally stabilize within three months post-surgery, regular follow-up visits every six months remain essential. If you experience swelling, pain, lumps, or other discomfort in the breasts, do not panic. Consult your surgeon immediately to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
