Breast Lifts Recovery

If you are undergoing breast lifts in the near future or are considering one

, you may have questions about what happens afterward and how to become prepared. This article will describe the process of the surgery, as well as what to expect while recovering.

A breast lifts are an outpatient procedure, which allows patients to return home the same day. A cosmetic surgeon performs the surgery and uses general anesthesia. The procedure begins with an incision around the areola as well as one under the breast, with another vertically placed to connect the two. Excess skin and tissues are removed before attaching the areola at a higher point and closing the incisions.

The surgeon will then place you in an elastic support bra that you will wear for a few weeks. Once home, you will be advised to rest comfortably for the next few days and you'll not be cleared to return to work for two weeks. Doctors recommend that you have someone to help you in your home for the first few days to a week. You will need to keep all pressure and force off of your chest during this timeframe and minimize movement in this area.

By following your surgeon's advice, you will heal properly and safely. The first few days may be uncomfortable, but the pain and swelling should subside in the first week. However, tenderness may remain for another month or so.

Be proactive before your breast lifts and gather movies and books, and other forms of entertainment to enjoy during this downtime. Beat boredom by picking up a forgotten hobby such as scrap booking or any other activity that can be done from a chair or bed.

After you return to work, you must still avoid heavy lifting and pushing. It's important to delegate more strenuous tasks and ask for help when needed during this time to avoid any complications from undue stress to the body.

Your restrictions will likely be lifted after four weeks, allowing you to return to your usual activities and exercise regimen.

Use your imagination and be prepared for your breast lift recovery with ways to pass the time and avoid cabin fever. Most importantly, adhere to your surgeon's orders and advice for recovery and if in doubt, always err on the side of caution. It won't be long until you are back to yourself and enjoying the new and improved you.
