At Maison TOA, under the expert supervision of our surgeon Dr. Nordback, we understand that recovery is a crucial step in optimizing your results after breast augmentation. This page guides you through the recovery steps and answers your most frequently asked questions for a smooth and well-managed experience.
Understanding recovery after breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is a procedure that transforms your figure and boosts your self-confidence. However, a successful recovery is essential to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
The recovery after breast augmentation refers to the healing period following the surgery. During this phase, it is crucial to follow the recommendations of your surgeon, Dr. Nordback, to allow your tissues to heal properly and achieve the desired aesthetic results.
Breast augmentation recovery: key steps
- Feeling of discomfort: Mild to moderate pain is managed with prescribed painkillers.
- Wearing a compression bra: This garment supports the implants and limits movement.
- Complete rest: Avoid any physical exertion.
- Scar care: Follow instructions to clean and protect the operated areas.
- Resuming light activities: Gentle walking promotes circulation.
- Gradual reintegration: Resume your daily activities cautiously, but avoid intense sports.
- Progression of results: Swelling decreases, and the shape of the breasts becomes more natural.
- Resuming sports activities: Once approved by Dr. Nordback, you can return to your workouts, except those involving the pectoral muscles.
- Final results: Expect to see the final results between three and six months.
Tips for optimal recovery
1. Follow medical recommendations
Post-operative consultations with Dr. Nordback allow for monitoring your healing process and adjusting care if necessary.
2. Adopt a healthy lifestyle
- Stay properly hydrated.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they slow down healing.
3. Listen to your body
Don’t push your physical limits. If you experience any unusual pain, contact Maison TOA immediately.
