Breast Augmentation Recovery Time

Once you have decided to go through with a breast augmentation procedure, you must know about the results and recovery that come with the surgery. It is important that you are clear about the fact that your surgery will take some time to recover and you will not be seeing the results you were hoping for as soon as you leave your surgeon’s premises, rather it will take days and weeks to achieve the shape and feel of breasts that you were looking for. Here are some tips that will be helpful to you in your recovery time post breast augmentation procedure.

Stay Relaxed

After your surgery, the first thing that you should remember is to relax and take it easy. Do not over exert yourself because it will slow down your recovery. For some time after your surgery, you will need assistance with your daily chores and lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk is strictly forbidden. Take out plenty of time to rest and even more time to sleep as this will accelerate your recovery. While sleeping just keep one thing in mind that you should not be sleeping on your stomach as it can displace and add pressure onto the breast implants.

Expect some Pain

As a necessary part of the healing process you should expect some pain and you should learn how to manage and live through it. Patients have reported some discomfort after the procedure but it is quite normal. Your doctor will prescribe you with the medicines for killing pain and you will have to be punctual with them. Just remember that taking pain killers with empty stomach can have negative impact on your body. Always try to eat something before you have to take your medications.

Healthy Food and Plenty of Water

There is a chance that you may experience dehydration and nausea after your procedure. Your body will need plenty of water and nutrition for early recovery so remember to drink at least 64 ounces of water daily and eat lots of proteins, fresh vegetables and fruits. A healthy diet will give you the required energy to heal quickly.

Optimism is the key

Being positive is the most important part of your recovery. Before undergoing the procedure you should do research about the after effects of and recovery time. You must educate yourself with things that will ensue so that nothing unexpected happens to you after your breast augmentation procedure. You can read about it on the internet, discuss it with your doctor and talk about it with people who have gone through the procedure before.
