What is recovery like following breast enlargement surgery?
After the breast enlargement surgery, you will experience some pain and discomfort that can be controlled with medication. You may be able to return to light activities within a few days, although your doctor will ask that you avoid more strenuous activities for several weeks, and avoid certain sports, exercises, and heavy lifting for a month or longer. The bandages can be removed in just a few days, but you may need to wear a support garment to help maintain shape during healing. Stitches will be removed in about a week. The recovery process will be different for each patient, depending on the procedural techniques used, the breast implant placement, and individual healing characteristics.
