Recovery from Breast Augmentation Surgery

During breast augmentation recovery, your breasts may be sore for the first few days, and you may have bruising and swelling for several weeks. Make sure you talk to your plastic surgeon about pain medications before your breast augmentation procedure.

Most people can go back to work within one week after breast augmentation surgery; however, you may have to limit other activities for a few weeks.

Although breast augmentation scars are permanent, they will fade over time. The location of your breast enhancement scar will depend on the type of incision.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Garments
For several weeks after your breast implant surgery, you will need to wear a compression garment. Breast augmentation support garments improve circulation and reduce swelling, which decreases recovery time. Breast augmentation recovery garments also stabilize breast implants and keep them in the right position, since they have a natural tendency to rise.

Options for breast augmentation garments include post-surgical bras, augmentation bandeaus, and compression vests. Ask your doctor which type(s) you should wear.

Compression garments for breast augmentation are worn continuously for weeks at a time, so you might want to buy more than one.
