What Should I Prepare For During My Breast Augmentation Recovery?

After undergoing a breast augmentation surgery, there will be some time after the procedure that you will need to dedicate to recovery. Taking the proper precautions during your recovery period can help the breasts heal faster and produce the best results.

Immediately after the surgery, your breasts will be wrapped in gauze and and a support bra will be used to limit swelling and provide the breasts with more support as they heal. After a procedure like this one, you can return home after about an hour or two, but you will still need to make sure to take care of the treatment area while you’re there.

This includes taking any medications as directed, clean the incision sites, and wearing the appropriate support bras to make sure your breasts have enough support. Refraining from strenuous physical activities is also a must, as any trauma can severely alter your final result.
