A
day or two after surgery, you should be back to normal.
Within several days, your dressings may also be changed
or removed. You may be instructed to wear a support
bra. Post surgery your plastic surgeon will probably
permit you to shower between three and seven days. Stitches
will be removed in about a week.
Some discoloration and swelling will
occur initially, but this will disappear quickly. Most
residual swelling will resolve within a month. The surgeon
will advice you regarding breast massage, which in many
cases, will delay or prevent the onset of capsule formation. |
