10 Tips For Faster Breast

Augmentation Recovery

Women go through breast augmentation for

a number of reasons. It can be the
much-needed step to becoming a new and
better you. It is also performed for a host of
medically-inclined and personal reasons.

Just like any surgical procedure, breast

augmentation requires a period of recovery
wherein you wait for your body to heal.
Your recovery will not be a pleasant
experience through and through, but there
are steps you can do to alleviate your
discomfort and speed up the healing
process. Here are some of them.
Follow your doctor’s
instructions

They will provide you with special

instructions on how to care for yourself and
your recovering body to ensure that your
wounds don’t reopen or that complications
do not occur.
Get lots of rest
Give yourself enough time to sleep and
avoid any strenuous activities.

Adequate sleep lets your body repair

broken tissue and regulates your body
processes, so it is an effective way to hasten
your healing process.
Take time off from
work

Even when your job doesn’t require you to

move around, you can still get harmed so it’s
best to stay at home.

Take time off from work for a few days,

preferably a week.
Address nausea
You may experience bouts of nausea as you
recover and this can make the experience
less bearable. Today, thanks to the many
implant options availabe, it may be possible
for you to address nausea by drinking the
right medicine.

To ensure that you are using a drug that

won’t negatively affect your progress, ask
your doctor for recommendations.
Massage your
breasts
A massage will help alleviate the pain and
even help your implant to settle down
faster.
You may also perform specific exercises
that can help with feelings of tenderness.

You should do this only if your doctor says you

can.
Pick a caregiver
You will not be able to do many of the things
you usually do every day. You will have to
focus on letting your body heal. To help you
recover, it’d be best for you to hire a
trustworthy caregiver who will help you live
normally, at least for as long as you can’t
function as you usually do.

Some care providers offer temporary

services. Hiring them before you proceed
with the surgery would be best.
Do not look at your
scars
No matter what, you must fight the compulsion to check
your scars, especially if the surgical incisions were made
in areas that are hard to reach, such as under your
breasts.

Your body is still recovering so your wounds have not

healed fully. Moving them too much may cause them to
reopen, potentially causing damage to your surgeon’s
work and your breast’s appearance, as well as creating
even more scars.
Use embrace®
Active Scar Defense.
If you are too conscious of the appearance of scars on
your breast, you can use the #1 scar therapy treatment
at Guerra Plastic Surgery Center. You should only use
embrace® with your doctor’s permission.

These products may help the skin on your breasts heal

properly and in so doing, minimize scarring, but some of
them may result in irritation. Again, check with your
doctor.
Wear sensitivity
pads.
After surgery, your nipples may feel erect
and very sensitive. After some time, this can
be a source of much discomfort, even from
just them being in contact with your clothes.

Ask your doctor about the possibility of

wearing nursing pads to prevent your
nipples from becoming too sensitive.
Attend post-op
check-ups.
These exams are important as they allow
your doctor to determine how well the
operation went and if you require additional
care. Your surgeon will also be able to
address any problem or complication that
may arise.

Your post-op exams may take some of your

time, but they are crucial in ensuring that
you receive the best possible care.
