How long can breast augmentation surgery recover?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery at present, which can improve the breast shape by implanting a prosthesis to make the chest more plump and straight. For many women, postoperative recovery is a very critical issue. So, how long does it take for breast augmentation surgery to fully recover? The following will be described in detail from four aspects.
Postoperative recovery time
First of all, the recovery time after breast augmentation surgery varies from person to person, and everyone's recovery speed is different. Usually, there will be some discomfort in the first week after the operation, such as chest pain, swelling, etc. At this time, you should follow the doctor's advice and wear a special bra to help stabilize your chest and relieve discomfort.
In the next 2-3 weeks, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise, especially upper limb activities. At this time, I still feel some pain and discomfort, but it will gradually reduce. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid standing or sitting for a long time to avoid additional pressure on the breast.
At the 4th week after operation, the patient can gradually resume normal activities. However, it should be noted that the feeling of the chest may change, resulting in local numbness or sensitivity. This is normal, but if it lasts too long, you can consult a doctor.
Rehabilitation FAQs
In the recovery process of breast augmentation surgery, some common problems will be encountered. The first is postoperative swelling and ecchymosis. These problems usually subside within a few weeks, but can be alleviated through massage and special care products. In addition, abnormal sensation or hypersensitivity of breast after operation is also common. Generally, these problems will gradually return to normal.
In addition, some changes may also occur in the nipple and areola after surgery. Within weeks after surgery, the nipple and areola may become more sensitive, and the color may also change. These changes will gradually return to normal in a few months. If the nipple or areola changes for a long time, you can also consult a professional doctor.
Finally, there may be some changes in the shape and size of the chest after surgery. In a few months after the operation, the shape of breast augmentation may be relatively high, but with the passage of time and the natural sagging of the chest, the shape will gradually become natural and soft.
