Dietary considerations after cosmetic surgery

Cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more common, and now that summer vacation is right around the corner, the wave of all kinds of cosmetic surgery will soon begin again. Double eyelids alone, sometimes I have two or three a day. Generally speaking, we pay great attention to some pre-surgery knowledge and understanding, and we will consult in detail before surgery, but we do not care much about some post-operative precautions, and this kind of post-surgery carelessness often affects the effect of the surgery to a certain extent. For example: some people think that after the operation, everything will be fine, diet does not have to worry about, spicy and stimulating food is not avoided. Some other people are too careful after surgery, worried about the impact of wound healing, this also dare not eat, that also dare not eat, every day vegetables porridge, make people have a vegetable color, malnutrition. So, what is the correct view of postoperative diet? Dietary taboos 1, 3 months after surgery, avoid alcohol, spicy stimulating food This is the most common and most important one after plastic surgery. In fact, not only plastic surgery, almost all surgery to avoid this. On the one hand, alcohol and spicy stimulating foods have the effect of activating the blood and dilating blood vessels. Moreover, after eating spicy stimulating food, this stimulation is transmitted to the brain through the peripheral nerves to produce euphoria, and then through the role of nerve endocrine secretion, so that the vascular permeability of the operation area increases. These two effects will aggravate the edema and congestion of the local operation area, resulting in prolonged postoperative swelling and affecting healing. Long-term edema and congestion will also lead to the incision area fibroblasts function exuberantly, secretion of collagen fibers proliferation, resulting in tissue hyperplasia, it looks like the wound is red, swollen, hard to the touch, and sometimes there is a tingling sensation. On the other hand, this congestion and edema, will lead to some inflammatory cells infiltration, secretion of some such as fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor, etc., to promote wound scarring. 2, avoid steaming hot pot or soup pot after surgery Due to the steam fumigation, heat wave, will also make the wound congestion obvious, affecting the recovery of the wound. Especially a few days after the operation, try not to make the operation area exposed to strong heat. Because the heat will make the blood vessels in the operation area dilate, and the closed blood vessels in the wound will open again, resulting in hematoma formation. 3, 3 months after the operation, avoid seafood and other foods that can easily lead to allergies Some people’s physical reasons, after eating seafood and other foods that can easily lead to allergies, these heterogeneous proteins may stimulate the body to produce allergic reactions, mast cells and macrophages infiltrated in the wound, secretion of histamine and other factors, resulting in swelling of the surgical area, delayed healing of the incision, hyperplasia. In case of allergy, the skin will be red, rash, peeling and itching. Scratching the skin due to itching may lead to infection of the surgical site. 4, do not recommend postoperative tonic or eat blood tonic often people think, surgery is a kind of trauma, I have to make up for the postoperative period, eat some ginseng, ginseng, Panax ginseng and other blood, blood tonic things. Personally, I do not recommend taking these supplements after surgery, as modern people are over-nourished, and general cosmetic surgery bleeds very little, usually just a few milliliters. A large number of supplements will stimulate vascular proliferation, so that the wound redness, proliferation, but not conducive to recovery. 5, about soy sauce, vinegar For the common people often say that after surgery can not eat soy sauce, vinegar and other colored foods and glutinous rice, etc., on the contrary, can be appropriate to eat, and will not affect the effect of surgery, and will not cause adhesions and so on. Suggestions: 1, rich in vitamins and trace elements of vegetables, fruits. In the process of incision healing after cosmetic surgery, in order to prevent the skin color from deepening and better promote incision healing, you can supplement some nutrients that can both promote healing and have whitening function. For example, vitamin C and A. You can consume fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as tomato, kiwi, etc., as well as foods rich in vitamin A, such as animal liver, egg yolk, milk, etc., or you can take vitamin C and A supplements for a short period of time. 2.Normal supplementation of animal protein. Such as milk, lean meat, chicken, eggs and so on. 2, collagen is the main component of the skin, its increase can make the cells become plump, skin elasticity and moisturizing degree is also enhanced. After cosmetic surgery, you can eat more food rich in collagen protein, mainly meat skin, pig’s feet, cow hoof tendon and cartilage. Finally, I have to say one thing, these are for cosmetic open surgery, for the injection of microplastic surgery, a week after the operation a little attention, do not have to be so careful.
