Following the first few days after your chest augmentation, you should expect to experience soreness and swelling in your chests, which can last for several weeks. You should avoid exercise and strenuous activity for about four to six weeks, but ultimately you should follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions about resuming activiy, since healing varies on an individual basis. You will also be given instructions on how to care for your chests afterward, including massaging techniques, medications to take, what type of bra to wear, and follow-up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is recovery like after the surgery?
-
How long is the procedure?
While every person’s procedure is unique, chest augmentation surgery typically takes between one and two hours. In general, many chest augmentation surgical procedures are relatively simple, which is why most surgeries are fairly short. Sometimes, however, the surgery takes a bit longer. The type of anaesthesia, location of incision, and type of implant that you select will all play a role in the total amount of time necessary to complete your chest augmentation surgery.
-
Are there risks with chest augmentation?
Risks linked to chest augmentation include infection, rupture, scarring around the implant, chest implant illness, and, in rare cases, lymphoma. We encourage everyone who’s thinking about having the surgery to have a thorough conversation with their doctor about the risks and benefits.
-
What does the procedure involve?
Chest augmentation is done by placing implants behind chest tissue or under the chest muscle. An implant is a sac filled with either sterile salt water (saline) or a material called silicone. Most women receive general anaesthesia for this surgery.
-
Is having chest augmentation painful?
Your pain tolerance will indicate how painful the surgery/recovery is, as people cope differently with discomfort. The pain of recovery is so negligible that over-the-counter pain medications, such as Advil or Tylenol, are adequate to manage any discomfort felt after the surgery.
