Breast implant surgery

Breast implant surgery is a common cosmetic procedure in America. Even though many women are getting breast implant surgery, this doesn’t mean that you don’t have to worry about any complications or your recovery time.

Avoiding certain activities and following the instructions of your doctor will help you enjoy a shorter recovery time. In order to get your life back to normal as soon as possible after a breast augmentation surgery, make sure you follow these helpful recovery tips from Dr Dadvand – a cosmetic surgeon in Los Angeles!

Recovering after breast implant surgery

The recovery process after a breast implant surgery is largely dependent on the steps you take to speed up the healing process. Here are some tips on how to approach the recovery process:

• Take all the medication your doctor prescribes. The cosmetic surgeon who performed the breast implant surgery usually prescribes antibiotics along with pain killers. Even if you feel fine after three days, keep taking the medicine because the antibiotics are there to ensure you don’t contract any infections.
• Make the necessary arrangements. You may need to take at least a week off work to recover from your breast augmentation surgery. Make sure you have planned your time off and that you have taken care of most of the household chores so you can focus on recovery.
• Make the necessary arrangements. You may need to take at least a week off work to recover from your breast augmentation surgery. Make sure you have planned your time off and that you have taken care of most of the household chores so you can focus on recovery.
• Take it easy. It’s important to rest, eat healthy and drink lots of water during the recovery period. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for the first four weeks. Once you are able to move around, start taking walks (this will help the swelling go down).
• Don’t scratch. If your incision wounds are itching, it means that they are healing. Don’t scratch the wounds (dirt from under your fingernails could cause an infection). Use any ointment or antibiotic lotion the doctor prescribed for the incision wounds.
• Learn some massage techniques. Ask your cosmetic surgeon to demonstrate breast massage techniques to keep the breasts soft and obtain their shape more quickly.
• Be patient. Once your surgical wrap and bra is removed, you may be a bit shocked if you see that your implants haven’t settled yet (in some cases, the nipple will point down for the first few weeks after breast augmentation surgery). This will correct itself as the implants settle within a few weeks.
