Being unhappy with the size or shape of your breasts can be a very demoralising experience. If your confidence is affected by the way your breasts look, you may have considered finding out if breast enlargement surgery could boost the size of your bust and leave you feeling more secure. Breast augmentation is a surgical solution that has helped many women achieve the breasts they dream of from improving the appearance of breasts which have shrunk following the birth of a child to enlarging breasts that are naturally small.
While breast enlargement surgery is a common procedure and one enjoyed by thousands of women across the UK, it is still a surgical treatment and this means that a certain amount of recovery time is to be anticipated. Every person's body is different and their needs unique, but the typical amount of recovery time needed for breast augmentations can be assumed to be between one and two weeks.
The type of breast augmentation you have will also affect your amount of recovery time, as some procedures are more intensive than others. In general though, you can expect to stay in the hospital overnight following the surgery, but to be able to go home the next day. After you have a breast enlargement, you should have a follow up appointment with the clinic within 7-14 days. At this point, they'll make sure that you are healing well. You'll be asked to tray and avoid bathing or showering until after this check has taken place.
Returning to work after breast surgery depends on the type of job you do. If you're work is quite physical or hard going, you may need two weeks before you're ready to return. On the other hand, if your job isn't too demanding you could be back at your desk in a week. Your surgeon will also give you a sports bra to wear during the healing process, and you should only swap this for an underwired bra when you've been told it's ok for you to do so.
If you have any questions about your recovery time for breast surgery or you have any other questions about the procedure at all, make sure you bring them up during your consultation with the surgeon they will be happy to reassure you and give you all the information you need before making a decision. Choosing breast enlargement surgery can be a life changing moment, so take the time to ensure you're ready to make it and enjoy a more confident future.
