    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).

    Breast implants may complicate the interpretation of mammographic images by obscuring underlying breast tissue and/or by compressing overlying tissue. Prior to any examination, you should inform your imaging technician about the presence, type, and placement of your implants and to request a diagnostic mammography, rather than a screening mammography. Accredited mammography centers, technicians with experience in examining patients with breast implants, and the use of displacement techniques are needed to adequately visualize breast tissue in the implanted breast. The current recommendations for pre-operative/screening mammograms are no different for women with breast implants than for women without implants. Pre- and post-surgical mammography may be performed to determine a baseline for future routine scanning in augmentation patients.

    The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that there is no reason why a woman with implants should refrain from nursing. However, breast implant surgery may interfere with how optimal breastfeeding may be, either by reducing or eliminating milk production.

    Most women with breast implants who attempt nursing have successfully breastfed their babies. It is not known if there are increased risks for a woman with breast implants or if the children of women with breast implants are more likely to have health problems.

    Please inform your surgeon in advance of your procedure if you wish to have the option to breastfeed afterwards, as a surgical approach with this consideration may reduce the chance of breastfeeding difficulties.

    Breast implants are not lifetime devices. However, the life expectancy of a silicone breast implant cannot be precisely estimated or guaranteed, as there are many factors beyond the manufacturer’s control that can affect the longevity of a device.

    The time period varies from patient to patient. Some patients could need replacement surgery within a few years after the primary procedure, while others can have their implants intact for 10 years or longer.

    If you experience pain or a change in appearance, please see your surgeon. To safeguard your health and final aesthetic outcome, it is important that you return to your plastic surgeon’s office for the follow-up evaluations they prescribe. Yearly visits are recommended to verify the device’s integrity. During the 10-year follow-up visit, your surgeon should assess whether it is advisable to remove and replace your implants.
