  ① The pain is most intense between 24-48 hours after surgery, and it will gradually decrease over time. There may be chest tightness and difficulty breathing after surgery, at which point, take big breaths.

  ② Within 2-3 days after surgery, try to elevate your upper body by 20-30 degrees and lie flat. Do not lie on your side or back (do not lie on your side for one month, lie flat for 6 months after surgery).

  ③ Postoperative swelling can cause asymmetry on both sides, and during the swelling reduction period, there may be differences between the two sides. During the recovery period, the hand feel may be repeated, sometimes soft and hard, and occasionally there may be a sharp pain in the chest. After three months, the hand feel begins to stabilize and gradually becomes soft from six months to one year.

  ④ Within 10 days after surgery, the arm should not be raised, heavy objects should not be lifted, and excessive force should not be applied, otherwise bruising and wound rupture may occur. Within one month after surgery, pay attention to the use of the arm, do not drive for one month, do not lift the arm above the chest for three months, and do not lift heavy objects.

  ⑤ After removing the stitches, you can take a simple shower for another week (after 6 weeks, you can take a hot spring, sauna, drink alcohol, and after three months, you can smoke).

  ⑥ Wear shapewear for 24 hours within one month after surgery. After one month, you can wear bras without steel rings during the day and shapewear when sleeping at night until 6 months. Most bras with steel rings can be worn after 6 months (please communicate with a doctor before wearing them).

  ⑦ After one month post surgery, lie on the bed for fifteen minutes each morning and evening (smooth surface implants are required, while hairy surface implants are not). Please contact Xingxing before lying on the bed.

  ⑧ Return to our hospital for a follow-up examination three weeks after surgery and communicate with Xingxing in advance ⭐ time of appointment

  Take anti-inflammatory medication three times a day, one packet at a time, 30 minutes after meals, for 10 days (according to medical advice)

  After the postoperative breast incision scar scabs and falls off, scar patches (Meipi Hu) need to be used to help the scar recover. The scar is not red, hard, or white, and basically returns to normal.

  Suggestion: Breast ultrasound examination should be done once every 1-2 years, followed by MRI examination, and usually done every two years in the later stage

  Important!! No massage allowed
