Breast augmentation surgery is a frequent procedure at our Clinic in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Our exceptional specialist Dr. Daniel J. Rodríguez Morales de los Ríos, has a long history and has developed a very refined technique to improve the size, shape and volume of the breasts.
This surgery is performed through the placement of breast implants, fat injection, or a combination of both. Although it is a safe and effective procedure, recovery after surgery is an important factor to consider. Proper recovery is essential to ensure a successful and satisfying outcome.
After breast augmentation surgery, you can expect some changes in your body, such as pain, swelling, bruising, and tenderness. However, these symptoms are temporary and subside in a few days. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a week after the procedure. In this article and by the hand of our plastic and reconstructive surgeon we indicate some tips so that you have the best possible recovery. Keep reading!
Tips for a successful recovery:
Here are some tips for a successful recovery after breast augmentation surgery:
- Follow our surgeon's instructions: Our specialist will provide you with a list of detailed instructions to follow after surgery. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure a good recovery.
- Take prescription medications: Our doctor will prescribe medication to control pain and reduce swelling. It is important to take these medications as directed.
- Wear a compression bra: It is important to wear a compression bra after surgery to help reduce swelling and keep the implants in place.
- Rest and avoid excessive activity: During the first few days after surgery, it is important to rest and avoid excessive activity to allow the body to recover properly.
- Get moderate physical exercise: Moderate exercise can help improve circulation and reduce swelling after surgery. However, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise until the body is fully healed.
- Maintain a balanced diet: A balanced and healthy diet is essential to help your body recover after surgery. It is important to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods to aid healing.
- Do not smoke: Tobacco delays healing and can increase the risk of complications after surgery.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun: Prolonged exposure to the sun can increase the risk of blemishes and wrinkles on the skin, so it is important to avoid sun exposure during recovery.
- Attend your check-ups: It is essential to attend regular post-surgery check-ups with our surgeon to check progress and make sure everything is healing properly.
What activities should be avoided after breast augmentation surgery?
After breast augmentation surgery, our specialist recommends avoiding certain activities to allow the body to recover properly. Here we tell you about some of them:
- Intense physical activity: It is important to avoid strenuous physical activity, such as lifting weights or strenuous exercise, for the first few weeks after surgery.
- Lead: Driving should be avoided for the first few weeks after surgery, as it can be difficult and painful to move your arms and torso.
- Smoke: Tobacco delays healing and can increase the risk of complications after surgery, so it is important to avoid smoking during recovery.
- Bathing or taking bubble baths: Bathtubs or bubble baths should be avoided for the first few weeks after surgery, as this can increase the risk of infection.
- Prolonged sun exposure: Sun exposure should be avoided during recovery.
- Drink alcohol: Alcohol can increase swelling and slow healing, so it should be avoided completely.
These are just some of the activities that should be avoided after breast augmentation surgery. However, it is important to keep in mind that each case is unique and that our specialist will give you detailed instructions on the activities that you should avoid depending on your individual case.
