Breast Augmentation Recovery Help

Breast augmentation surgery will not only make your breasts look perkier and bigger but can make you feel better about your body then you have felt in a long time! It can make it possible to wear the fashions that you most want to wear and it can make you smile with pleasure every time you look in a mirror!

Before you can reap all of the benefits that go along with having mammoplasty surgery you first need to recover from it. In most instances the recuperation process will be uneventful if you follow all of the instructions that the surgeon gave you. Most patients find that they do not have any problems that crop up at all as they are healing.

As long as you suffered no complications during the augmentation operation you should be able to go back to doing all of your normal day to day activities within three to four days following the mammoplasty. This is something you should discuss with the surgeon before you jump right back into your regular schedule.

Bear in mind that whether you have cosmetic surgery or general surgery your body will go through a type of trauma and because of it you need to be patient with yourself and allow the healing and recovery period to take place as naturally as possible. You want to be comfortable as you recover and you need to remain as relaxed and as calm as possible. Strive for as much as peace and tranquility for your body and mind as you can achieve. In other words, do not rush yourself. Plan to rest, sleep and lounge around a lot as your body gets use to the changes that have taken place.

It will take the scars time to heal. Your bandages will need to stay put for at least a period of two to three weeks. Until the surgeon removes the bandages from the breast augmentation you will not be able to see the final results of how your implants look for yourself. Then you can prepare yourself to be surprised and happy!

You may wonder why the bandages take so long to come off. There are a few reasons why this is so. Firstly, the bandages cover the incisions that were made. The incisions need adequate time to heal over. The bandages help to prevent infection and they encourage a healthy environment for healing. Secondly, the body needs a certain amount of time to get used to the fact that there are now implants in the breasts that were not there before. Thirdly, the breasts are vulnerable because of the fact that they were operated on. The bandages offer support to the chest as it is recovering from the breast augmentation trauma. In this way there is no stress or strain put on the region as it gets back to normal.

Bed rest is a necessity as you are recovering. Due to the location of the breasts on the body too much moving around and walking around will over exert the rest of the body, such as the back and the legs and will cause the patient to feel totally wiped out. Follow the doctor’s instructions for post breast augmentation care and spend some time in bed.
