What To Expect During And After Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a genuine cosmetic surgery procedure to change the shape and size of a woman’s breasts. Whether it is reducing the size of breasts that are too big, reconstructing breasts after operation, or enhancing the size of the breasts, breast augmentation is the best preference for most women.

First, prior to your breast augmentation surgery, you’ll have an first interview with your cosmetic surgeon. This is your chance to have all of your questions about breast augmentation surgery answered. Also, it’s advised that you do your own inquiry before carrying out the operation. During the consultation, your surgeon might ask you about your medical history. It is very important you will be honest to achieve the best results and for your own protection.

You could need to avoid smoking, certain vitamins and drugs, and some food or drink to make certain you’re not at risk for any unnecessary complications during breast augmentation surgery, or during the recuperation from the surgery.

After breast augmentation surgery, you’ll be allowed to return home to recuperate. After a couple of days of healing, the gauze will be removed from the area, but you’ll still wear a surgical bra as directed by the cosmetic surgeon. Stitches or sutures will be removed after a week or so.

Scarring from breast augmentation surgery should decrease as the healing process continues, but good placement of the incision and the natural creases or folds of the body should hide any scars.

For a few weeks your breasts may be painful, but light activity and work can be resumed after just a couple days of rest. Your plastic surgeon will tell you of how long after breast augmentation surgery you should wait to resume some normal activities and exercise.
