Caring For Your Body After A Breast Augmentation

When you have a breast augmentation, one of the most important things to focus on is your health during your recovery period

. If you don't want to find yourself dealing with any unnecessary complications or illness, you need to be very diligent about following your doctor's orders. In addition to following your doctor's orders, you should also listen to your body so you don't end up overexerting yourself. Here are a few suggestions that will make your recovery much faster and easier.

Immediately after your breast augmentation, you will need someone to come and take you home. You will be in no condition to drive yourself anywhere. In fact, you may feel drowsy and out of it. You may also start to feel the effects of your anesthesia wearing off. In order to minimize your discomfort, you should try to get your prescription filled right away. Depending on where you have your procedure performed at, you may be able to have the medical office call in your prescription so that it is ready and waiting for you by the time your operation is over.

Since you won't be in a condition to do much during the first 24 to 48 hours after your procedure, you should make sure you have plenty of things to keep you from becoming bored. Magazines, music, movies, and games are all good sources of entertainment and require very little movement and activity from you, so you won't have to worry about compromising your surgical results.

Something that many breast augmentation patients tend to ignore as far as doctor's orders is not resuming household chores and strenuous activities until they get their doctor's approval. You don't want to wind up in the hospital for being hardheaded. No matter how great you may think you feel, your doctor has given you this order for a reason. It takes a good deal of time for your body to completely heal from any surgical operation, including a breast augmentation. Your body needs to adjust to the extra weight that is in your chest area as it heals. Strenuous activities can actually cause problems with your results. You could end up with droopy breasts, a lopsided chest, or some painful and uncomfortable side effects. You don't want to end up disappointed in your chest and its appearance; this may lead to you needing another operation to correct the damage you could have prevented if you had only obeyed your doctor's orders.

If you learn to relax and take it easy during your recovery period, you may find that your body is able to heal much faster than you anticipated. As long as you continue to follow your doctor's orders and continue taking your antibiotics and pain medications until your doctor says for you to stop or until you run out, you will be able to enjoy your new bosom.
