What are the restrictions to activity after breast enlargement surgery?
Dr. Gerzenshtein’s recommendations to his patients are found below. Consult with your own surgeon for his ore her specific instructions. Do not drive a car or engage in activities that depend on your coordination for 48 hours after your surgery, or after taking any of the pain, nausea or insomnia medications predscribed. Walking and getting about is highly encouraged for multiple reasons, including a decrease in the incidence of clot formation in the veins of your legs, have someone with you for the first 24 hours to monitor and help you get about as necessary. When resting/sleeping, lie on your back with several pillows under your head and back, or place a pillow or rolled blanket under the head of your mattress, this will decrease swelling. You may sleep on your side 2 weeks after surgery, and in any manner 4 weeks after surgery.
