What About Recovery?

Scottsdale breast augmentation is readily apparent in the media today. Countless celebrities have admitted to or are rumored to have gone under the knife, and are frequently photographed flaunting newer, more womanly figures. Medical reality and makeover shows feature breast augmentation frequently, in which a lucky woman goes in for breast augmentation and leaves the office a commercial break later with a new and much fuller bust.

Television and magazines tend to glamorize Scottsdale breast augmentation to the point where it seems like it can be done in as little as a week with perfect results. However, the reality that many women need to prepare themselves for is that breast augmentation is a process which, though it may yield lovely results, requires a commitment to recovery time and healing.

After Surgery

The breasts and surrounding tissues undergo a lot of trauma during the surgery, and for this reason you may experience bruising, soreness, and swelling. Expect to wear a surgical bra for several days, accompanied by moderate pain - however, your surgeon will recommend techniques to alleviate your soreness and will prescribe pain medication.
You should avoid heavy lifting or straining due to the pressure these activities may exert on your breasts. You can, however, plan on returning to work within a week, and returning to full activity within a few weeks depending on how you personally feel and have healed.

Depending on your procedure, permanent scarring will remain but may be in nearly invisible locations. Many surgeons strive to make any post-surgery scarring as unnoticeable as possible by making small incisions on the breast or in a natural fold of skin, but the location varies by procedure. It will take at least a year for your breasts to naturally settle and attain a more natural-looking appearance; at this time, you will be able to appreciate the full results of your surgery for many years to come.

It is important to attend follow-up appointments with your surgeon in order to ensure that everything is going smoothly and to address any concerns that you might have about your Scottsdale breast augmentation. A qualified and experienced plastic surgeon will be able to answer your questions and ensure that your results are exceptional every step of the way.
