Pamper Your New Implants

Your breasts will experience quite a beating during breast augmentation, and you will have to be very careful with them while they recover because they will be bruised, sore and swollen after surgery.

You may only be able to wear a surgical bra for the first few days, while any soreness will usually be treated with prescription medicines. your doctor may recommend that you wear a sports bra for added support until the soreness goes away.

Don’t exercise or strain yourself right after your surgery because this may make the soreness worse. You can usually return to work within a few days and engage in full activity in a few weeks, so take the time to rest and recuperate.

While breast augmentation surgery will usually not hinder breastfeeding, you should ask the doctor about this before undergoing the surgery.

You may experience scarring after the surgery, but these are normally small and hardly noticeable. Your surgeon has been trained to make them as inconspicuous as possible.

Inframammary and periareolar incision scars are usually found on the breast. Transaxillary or TUBA incisions can be placed in a natural fold in the skin in the underarm area, almost inconspicuous after surgery. There is a risk of infection, as with any surgery, but with the right safeguards by the surgical team, infections are usually minimized or prevented.
