Your recovery process depends on your individual case specifics and other variables. Adequately specifying a time frame of recovery is up to your surgeon. Below is brief, general information on what recovery might look like:
- During the first 48 hours after surgery, you might have an elevated body temperature and your breasts may remain swollen and sensitive to physical contact for a month or longer. Both should fade away over time.
- You are likely to feel tired and sore for several days following the operation.
- You could experience a feeling of tightness in the breast area as the skin adjusts to the new breast size.
- You should avoid any strenuous activities for at least a couple of weeks but should be able to return to work within a few days. Breast massage may also be recommended as appropriate (do not massage the area unless your surgeon specifically tells you to do so).
