Many women undergo breast augmentation for various reasons, but after undergoing this surgery, it is important to follow certain post-breast lift instructions that can aid in the healing process.
Important Instructions After Breast Augmentation Surgery
It is normal to experience pain for several days after the surgery, but following the instructions can help reduce the pain and speed up the healing process.
Here are a set of instructions to follow after undergoing breast surgery, whether it's a breast lift, reduction, or augmentation:
Take prescribed painkillers and antibiotics as directed for the first week after surgery.
You may shower 48 hours after the procedure and then daily. It is normal for the adhesive on the wound to get wet, and there is no issue with that.
Swelling and bruising are completely normal during the first week after the surgery, no need to worry.
Exercise should be avoided for one month after breast surgery.
Medical garment must be worn for one month following the surgery.
As for the scars, they may take from one to two years to completely fade.
It is important to know that the final result of the surgery will be visible after approximately 3 months.
Strictly following these instructions is essential to ensure a smoother recovery and achieve the desired results from breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Tarek Copty recommends these steps to improve healing and enhance the overall patient experience.
