Breast Augmentation Recovery and Follow Up
I advise my patients to take one week off following breast augmentation surgery to stay home and rest. Refraining from physical activity in the first days after surgery makes the recovery process much easier and more efficient. During this time I will prescribe medication to relieve any pain, and an antibiotic to prevent infection. A further two weeks of a more normal activity level, only avoiding heavy lifting or working out ensures that healing progresses efficiently. Most patients can return to their usual activity level three weeks after surgery.
I see my patients one week after surgery and again after 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients are fully healed by this time.
