Recovery from Breast Augmentation Surgery

Most breast augmentation procedures are done on an outpatient basis, which means you will be able to go home the same day as your surgery. For the first few days during breast augmentation recovery, your breasts may be sore. Your plastic surgeon can give you medications to minimize pain. You will likely have some bruising, and your breasts may be swollen for several weeks.

Breast augmentation scars are permanent; however, once they have healed, they are not particularly noticeable except on close observation. The location of your breast enhancement scar will depend on where your incision was made.

Following breast enhancement surgery, most people are able to return to work within one week. You may need to limit other activities for a few weeks.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Garments
Your doctor may instruct you to continuously wear a compression garment immediately following your breast implant procedure. Breast augmentation support garments are designed to help improve blood circulation and reduce swelling, thereby decreasing your breast surgery recovery time. Breast augmentation recovery garments are designed to stabilize your implants, keep them in their correct position, and prevent the breast implant’s natural tendency to rise.

These garments are usually worn continuously for several weeks, so you should probably have more than one on hand.
