Accessory breast refers to the growth of breast tissue outside the normal breast, which is common in the armpit area. It may affect the patient's appearance and quality of life. Before undergoing accessory breast removal surgery, choosing a suitable medical institution is important for postoperative effects, safety and recovery process. This article will analyze how to choose a hospital suitable for accessory breast removal surgery from the aspects of hospital qualifications, professional team, equipment and facilities, preoperative evaluation and postoperative management.
1. Hospital qualifications are an important basis for selection
When choosing a hospital, you should first confirm whether the hospital has formal medical qualifications . China has a relatively clear classification of medical institutions. Generally speaking, hospitals that perform plastic surgery such as accessory breast removal must have a "Medical Institution Practice License" and clearly include "plastic surgery" or "cosmetic surgery" projects within its scope.
Institutions with qualifications as second-level general hospitals or above or plastic surgery specialty hospitals are usually more complete in terms of staffing, operating environment, and emergency response capabilities, and can provide patients with more systematic and standardized medical services. Patients should try to avoid choosing unqualified private clinics or unapproved beauty institutions to reduce medical risks.
2. A professional plastic surgery team is essential
The quality of the operation depends largely on the doctor performing the operation and his team. It is recommended to choose a professional doctor who has a practicing medical certificate and has been engaged in plastic surgery for many years to perform the operation. At the same time, the doctor should have the ability to handle complex operations and emergencies during operations.
The doctor's professional level can be preliminarily assessed by looking at his past cases, published professional papers or academic activities he has participated in. A high-level plastic surgery team also includes anesthesiologists, nurses and postoperative rehabilitation management personnel to jointly ensure the safety of the operation and postoperative recovery effect.
3. Equipment and surgical environment ensure medical safety
A qualified medical institution should be equipped with standardized operating rooms and complete monitoring equipment , including sterile operating systems, surgical imaging assistance devices and intraoperative vital signs monitoring facilities. Advanced equipment can not only improve surgical efficiency, but also effectively reduce the incidence of intraoperative complications.
In addition, sterile management of the surgical environment is also very critical. Hospitals should have strict disinfection procedures and isolation measures, and surgical instruments must be sterilized at high temperature and high pressure to ensure that the operation is performed under sterile conditions to prevent infection.
4. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation and personalized surgical plan
The shape, size, distribution location and tissue composition of accessory breasts vary greatly, so preoperative evaluation is particularly important. A high-quality hospital should have a complete preoperative examination process , including physical examination, ultrasound imaging, blood routine and coagulation function tests.
Based on the evaluation results, the doctor should develop a personalized surgical plan for the patient , clarify the scope of resection and surgical procedure (such as incision resection, suction-assisted resection, etc.), and decide whether to perform skin tightening surgery at the same time based on the patient's skin elasticity and accessory breast size. This type of customized plan can help achieve a more ideal aesthetic effect after surgery and shorten the recovery period.
5. Systematic postoperative management and recovery guidance
Postoperative management is an important link that affects the final effect. The hospital should provide a complete postoperative service system including wound care, anti-infection guidance, postoperative review arrangements , etc. Professional nurses should guide patients to wear postoperative compression belts correctly to prevent swelling and hematoma.
At the same time, doctors need to inform patients of postoperative precautions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise, keeping the incision dry, and changing dressings regularly. In addition, some accessory breast surgeries may be accompanied by scar problems, and hospitals should provide scar prevention and repair suggestions , such as using silicone patches, laser treatment, etc. to assist recovery.
VI. Patient reputation and comprehensive hospital service quality
By understanding other patients' comments, you can make a more comprehensive judgment on a hospital's overall service level. You can also view relevant feedback through third-party platforms or medical communities, paying attention to content including surgical results, service attitude, and whether there are any hidden charges.
A reliable hospital should have an open and transparent charging system, a good doctor-patient communication mechanism , and efficient customer service support, so that patients can obtain the required information and help in a timely manner before and after surgery.
7. The ability to handle postoperative complications cannot be ignored
Although accessory breast removal is a routine surgery, there are still risks such as postoperative bleeding, infection, and skin depression. A hospital with emergency response capabilities should be equipped with an emergency support system and a multidisciplinary collaboration mechanism to deal with various complications that may occur after the operation.
When choosing a hospital, patients can find out whether it has measures to ensure postoperative follow-up visits, whether it can provide a 24-hour doctor feedback channel, and whether there are full-time postoperative management personnel to continuously follow up on recovery progress.
