Five Facts About Breast Augmentation Recovery That Might Surprise You

Thinking about getting a breast augmentation? I want to give you realistic expectations on what to expect in recovery. Here are some things that might surprise you:

First - You might gain a little weight at first - not from the implants but from fluid retention. It’s totally normal and it goes away as you heal.

Second - Sleeping can be tricky. You’ll need to sleep on your back with your upper body elevated.

Third - Don’t rush to buy new bras. Your breasts will change shape and settle for months so wait before going on a shopping spree. You may even want a professional fitter.

Fourth - Pain is different for everyone. Some people barely need pain medication and others will be sore for longer. If you’ve had kids, you might find recovery easier.

Fifth - Your girls might be firm and high at first - don’t worry, your implants will drop over time and look more natural.

Everyone’s recovery is different so don’t compare yourself to others and always follow your surgeon’s advice.
