When are we going to undergo a chest operation there are many details that we try to take care of. We look for the best clinic to perform the operation, we try to make sure that it is a good decision, we look for the support from our relatives, and we think about the best time to go through a postoperative.
Remember that after the operation and until you fully recover your routine life, you must go through a few weeks postoperative, in which it is important to take into account many aspects to ensure the best result of the surgery.
For all this since Mamma Surgery we want to talk about the advantages and disadvantages what can you have go through a postoperative period specifically in the summer months.
Advantages of the postoperative period in summer:
A lot of free time; both you and your family and friends
The worst of the postoperative period is usually the boredom. Physical conditions do not allow us to follow the routines to which we are accustomed, and resting is sometimes too monotonous. Therefore we resort to family and friends to pass the time and try to distract ourselves during recovery.
The summer months turn out to be the best time to be in good company. The vacations and free time characterize the summer period, therefore, it is not difficult to find a “victim” who can help you liven up the idle hours.
Summer favors healing
This may seem like nonsense, but it has recently been shown that sweat promotes healing, since it positively influences the skin regeneration. The problem is that summer is highly associated with exposure to the sun of scars, which is totally discouraged.
Light clothing for comfort
We may also think that being hot will make us feel uncomfortable, but in reality the summer clothes, fresh and light, seems the best option for a postoperative. Of course, you must keep your space cool to avoid excessive sweating which can be annoying and overwhelming.
Disadvantages of the postoperative period in summer:
There are plans that you will have to say goodbye to
Inevitably there will be many plans and special occasions that you will not be able to attend, since it is important to follow the doctor's instructions and, especially the first days, the mobility it may turn out something painful or bothersome in the arm area preventing certain activities.
The holidays, in their proper measure:
Summer is also an easy time of year to organize meetings of friends, parties or events, and the alcohol is usually one of the essential elements of any celebration, something totally inadvisable in a postoperative period. Not only for him drug use prescribed during recovery, such as pain relievers or anti-inflammatories, but also because alcohol can generate complications in the postoperative period due to the dehydration it causes in the body.
Taking into account these indications we cannot establish a preferred time or another, since it totally depends on each patient and their tastes, needs and conditions. What we do want is to help you see the importance of assessing these types of details before submitting to any breast surgery.
