Breast Augmentation Recovery

Written by simon. Posted in Breast Augmentations

breast augmentation recoveryAfter breast augmentations you will find yourself in what is known as the breast augmentation recovery period and below is a description of what you can expect after your operation has been completed.

Despite the fact that thousands of breast augmentations are carried out each year it is still an invasive procedure and that means you will have to accept that your recovery period may be a long one, hence the reason why your surgeon will suggest you take time off work immediately after the operation.

Your certified plastic surgeon will give you the best advice on how to improve your chances of fast augmentation recovery but typically they will suggest moving as little as possible to begin with and to rest lots in the first couple of days.

Follow the instructions and you should be back at work in a week as long as you are not a home removal person or heavy box lifter and if you have had an insertion under your armpits you may find you feel better in an even shorter period of time.

Weeks 1-2

You will be uncomfortable to begin with so accept it and get as much rest as possible and take the medicine or pain killers suggest by your surgeon to numb the pain.

After a few days your dressings will be removed and your breasts will be placed in a special bra, designed to offer the best support while your recovery takes place. If you have been stitched they will be removed after around a week.

Weeks 3-12

You may be back at work quite quickly but you will remain sore for a considerable amount of time afterwards and your breasts will be sensitive and swollen for as long as five weeks. During this breast augmentation recovery period avoid any contact with them to help aid fast repair. You should be able to start gentle exercise after a month or so, but consult your surgeon on this.

Your scars will remain and be visible for six weeks or more in their 'pink' state but after this time they will begin to fade. If you have used a good plastic surgeon those scars will be hardly visible within a few month of the augmentation procedure.
