Recovering from Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammoplasty) in Fort Lauderdale
You may be uncomfortable when you "awaken" after your breast enlargement. The Miami cosmetic surgeons at South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery can provide medication to relieve any discomfort. You will be placed in a surgical bra immediately after your cosmetic plastic surgery procedure. You will continue to wear this day and night for approximately two weeks. However, you may remove this special bra for showering purposes during those first few days. You will receive specific instructions to follow during your recovery including rest and sleeping positions, raising your arms, bathing and showering techniques, breast manipulation and deep breathing exercises.
Your surgeon will want to examine you at regular intervals during the first 90
days following your breast enlargement. Our Miami and Fort Lauderdale patients return to the Center sometime after the third day so that a surgeon can remove any bandages and check the incision area. You will need
your surgical bra to support your breasts until your doctor tells you otherwise. Your breasts may be
swollen and bruised for approximately one to two weeks. In most patients, the scars from the breast enlargement incisions will be pink for about six months and gradually fade thereafter. The scars are usually inconspicuous. Nevertheless, you should know that all scars are permanent and their height, width and final color are not totally predictable. As with any surgical procedure, small nerves to the skin are interrupted during surgery. Portions of the nipple area may feel numb or have less than full feeling. Sensitivity usually returns over several weeks, but some diminished feeling may last indefinitely after your cosmetic plastic surgery in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. If you sunbathe, or utilize a tanning bed, you must not do so until any numbness of the breast is gone (to avoid burning). After this point, you must protect the incision site with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or more for at least six months.
