A few misconceptions of cosmetic surgery patients

The love of beauty is in everyone’s heart. With the increasing level of social economy and culture, people’s financial ability to enhance, more and more people tend to accept cosmetic surgery, after some beauty institutions to push the wave, cosmetic surgery is increasingly becoming a fashion, and year by year heating. As the majority of patients do not know enough about cosmetic surgery, hastily accept the surgery, the result brings physical and mental great pain and irreparable loss, so the correct understanding, understanding of cosmetic surgery is very necessary. Generally speaking, cosmetic surgery patients have the following common misconceptions: fashionable, do not understand what is cosmetic surgery Although more and more people receive cosmetic surgery treatment, but people do not know much about the concept of cosmetic surgery, cosmetic surgery is a branch of plastic surgery, is after surgical treatment to make the original basic normal organs or parts become more beautiful and better, is the icing on the cake The common cosmetic surgery procedures include hair transplantation, upper and lower eyelid surgery, facial wrinkle removal, rhinoplasty, mammoplasty, abdominoplasty, vulvar genitalia plastic surgery, etc. The first thing about cosmetic surgery is that it is a technology in the hands of plastic surgeons, and the techniques and skills are different from one surgeon to another. Because of this, cosmetic surgery is different from commodities, it does not have a unified evaluation standard, so it is not foreign is good, and different regions of the population, their cultural customs and aesthetic standards are different, physicians and patients are not the same evaluation of the effect of the hand after surgery, one-sided excessive publicity and blind worship of foreign cosmetic surgery technology is a wrong understanding tendency, even cosmetic surgery also want to follow foreign The idea of catching up with the fashion is completely wrong. Ignore the risk of cosmetic surgery cosmetic surgery as a surgical procedure, so with the general risk of surgery at the same time also has its unique surgical risk. Common surgical risks are: (1) post-surgical bleeding post-operative bleeding is a common complication of surgery, a small amount of bleeding manifested as dressing oozing blood, post-operative area skin bruising, if the blood timely removal, bruising gradually fade will not cause serious impact, if more bleeding, bright red color, severe manifestations of panic, thirst, pale and other systemic ischemic symptoms, not timely control can cause shock or even lead to life-threatening . (2) incision infection cosmetic surgery is generally aseptic surgery is not easy to infection, but there is still a certain risk, prevention of infection mainly lies in the surgical process physicians to follow the principle of asepsis, postoperative area to maintain clean, hygienic, prophylactic application of antibiotics, a sign of infection in a timely manner to open the bandage, change the medicine, keep the drainage unobstructed to facilitate healing. (3) Incisional dehiscence Incisional dehiscence can be caused by excessive suture tension, early removal of stitches or the presence of other systemic diseases that affect the healing of the incision. (4) Respiratory tract infection and pulmonary atelectasis This mainly occurs in patients after general anesthesia or prolonged surgery, in order to prevent the occurrence of patients are required to quit smoking 2 weeks before surgery, postoperative prevention of colds, to encourage coughing, coughing, etc., if the symptoms of respiratory tract infection, early application of antibiotics for treatment as prescribed by the doctor. (5) Urinary tract infection Long urine retention during surgery is the main factor causing urinary tract infection, so early postoperative urination catheterization if necessary, but the catheter should not be left in place for too long, and when symptoms such as urinary frequency, urinary urgency and painful urination occur, drink more water and follow medical advice for oral antibiotic treatment. (6) Surgical incision scar Scarring will inevitably occur at the surgical incision site, and the size of the scar is related to a variety of factors, the most critical of which is determined by the patient’s own constitution, and patients with scarring constitution form hyperplastic scarring or even keloid even with small incisions, for example, black people are prone to hyperplastic scarring or keloid scarring, and young and strong patients are more prone to scarring than older patients; in addition, minimally invasive surgery, tension-free suturing of the incision, and early treatment with antibiotics are essential. In addition, minimally invasive operation, tension-free suturing of incisions, and early stitch removal can prevent scar proliferation. (7) asymmetry after surgery symmetry is a basic principle of aesthetics is also the basic law of aesthetic plastic surgery to follow, after surgery should strive to achieve basic symmetry on both sides, however, due to the influence of various factors in surgery, to achieve complete symmetry is impossible, and the human body itself, such as the left and right hands, feet, etc. are not completely symmetrical. Too high expectations for cosmetic surgery effect Patients who do not know much about cosmetic surgery often have too high expectations for the post-operative effect, some patients even take a picture of a certain idol to require the surgical effect to achieve this goal, patients blindly pursue the surgical effect, not realistic; and the real cosmetic surgery effect should be combined with the individual’s own situation, varying from person to person. At present, millions of women around the world have received breast augmentation surgery, for patients who receive breast augmentation their surgical prescriptions and results should vary from person to person, for example, a thin body shape, chest skin, subcutaneous tissue thin rib protruding patients can not be overly exaggerated breast augmentation, if the use of too large prosthesis not only destroy the overall harmony and unity of beauty, and post-operative complications, risk, so patients should be more with the physician Communication, custom design after breast augmentation to achieve the ideal surgical results. There are many factors that affect the effect of cosmetic surgery, patients should work with their own conditions and physicians to design a suitable surgical solution to achieve realistic and ideal surgical results. For over exaggerating the effect of surgery, vowing to guarantee the effect of surgery cosmetic plastic surgeons, patients can not be partial to believe, patients should go to the national formal cosmetic plastic surgery medical institutions for consultation, the surgery has a full understanding of the surgery before accepting surgery to avoid unnecessary losses, injuries. The recovery process after cosmetic plastic surgery is not understood After cosmetic plastic surgery are to experience local and systemic pathophysiological recovery process and psychological recovery process of the surgical site. Generally, cosmetic surgery incision sites go through several stages: inflammatory response, cell proliferation, connective tissue formation, incision contraction, and incision reshaping. The inflammatory reaction appears a few hours after surgery and is mainly an exudative reaction mediated by inflammatory mediators at the incision site, manifesting as local redness, swelling, heat and pain, and gradually subsides after reaching a peak 24 to 72 hours after surgery, which normally lasts about one week. In the late stage of incision recovery, fibroblasts at the incision site synthesize secreted collagen to form connective tissue and the incision heals, which is also the basis for subsequent scar formation. Collagen synthesis is fastest in 1 to 2 weeks, and its deposition is mainly in 3 to 4 weeks. Generally, the synthesis and decomposition of collagen basically reach a balance after 3 months of scar healing, when the incision scar is purple-red in color, hard and tough in texture, and may be accompanied by itching symptoms. 6 months to several years later, collagen decomposition gradually exceeds the synthesis of scar site reshaping, which is manifested by scar fading, atrophy, becoming flat and softening. Over time, the patient’s body also gradually adjusts from the trauma of the surgery and returns to its normal physiological state. Cosmetic plastic surgery patients all go through a series of emotional reaction process after surgery, as patients undergo surgery in normal physiological state, the psychological tolerance is relatively poor, early restlessness or accompanied by anxiety, doubts and depression. Patients have psychological expectations of the postoperative effect before surgery, which is a kind of psychological support for patients, objectively beneficial to the recovery after surgery, but too high expectations will appear depressed, leading to disappointment, into confusion, and even mental breakdown, so patients should have objective expectations before surgery, can not exaggerate the imaginary surgical effect. In addition, sometimes although the surgery is successful and the results are satisfactory, patients often have difficulty adapting to the sudden change in appearance, and the greater the degree of change in appearance, the stronger the psychological reaction, often worrying that the surrounding people can not accept or even fear being teased and discriminated against, but over time patients gradually adapt to the surrounding environment and coordination, psychological balance, lifting the long-term suppressed emotions for their own satisfaction of beauty and The patient will be pleased with the satisfaction of beauty. The key to the success of cosmetic surgery is that patients should correctly and objectively understand and treat the above-mentioned series of psychological changes that occur before and after the surgery process. Cosmetic plastic surgery is an emerging discipline, is developed in response to the requirements of the times of social development, cosmetic surgery technology is also constantly improving, mature. Patients should be based on an objective and correct attitude, first of all, acknowledge that cosmetic surgery is a clinical medical surgery, so there is a certain amount of surgical risk, after surgery are to experience a series of pathological physiological and psychological reactions, there is a period of recovery process, depending on the correct view of the post-surgical effect, to regular medical institutions to receive cosmetic surgery to avoid unnecessary property, mental losses, to avoid physical injury, disability In order to obtain the ideal surgical results.
