Breast Augmentation is an outpatient procedure. After only a few hours after surgery, patients can expect to walk around on their own. Recovery occurs within 4 weeks but after the first few days patients start feeling better.

However, you may feel sore the first couple of weeks, and for that reason, you should limit any intense activity for about 4 weeks. After surgery, you should wear a supportive surgical or sports bra during your recovery time to allow the breast tissue to fully heal comfortably.

If you have breast implants partially beneath the pectoral muscle, which is a preferred method in most cases, then your boobs might feel like they are sitting high at first; this sensation typically disappears after several weeks when it has had enough time to adjust. The final results of having surgery take place over months as well, so it is important to stay patient and try not to get stressed out if everything doesn’t happen instantaneously or change overnight.

It is crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions to ensure you heal optimally. Also, it is completely safe to have mammograms with breast implants. Follow and maintain regular screening if prescribed by your doctor. If the patient has a silicone implant, it is recommended they get periodic monitoring (mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI) to screen for ruptures, although it is pretty rare to happen.

Breast augmentation is an effective, safe surgery with long-lasting results that will leave you happy. The best way to decide whether or not breast augmentation is right for you is by talking with your doctor about your options.
