Breast enlargement surgery tops the list of plastic surgery procedures in the U.S., Very Well Health reports. If you’re thinking about getting the surgery but are worried about the recovery, here are a few things to help you get a better idea of what you can expect.
You’ll need to rest
Once you undergo breast implants surgery in Chicago IL, that’s going to take an incredible toll on the body. You’ll need to take it easy and get plenty of rest after the procedure. If you want a swift recovery, be sure to follow any aftercare policies and instructions from your surgeon. That means taking time off—two weeks, in most cases—work and your daily household chores.
There will be a pain
There won’t be any pain during the procedure because you’ll be under sedation. But recovery is different. Expect pain and discomfort. Don’t want pain? No worries. Your doctor will probably recommend that you keep taking painkillers after the procedure to help you deal with the discomfort.
Know the timeline
You will start to feel better around the third-week mark and by the time five weeks have passed, you will be fully recovered, more or less. However, that doesn’t mean you can go back to the gym at once. Doctors recommend that you give it about two months, giving your breasts more time to heal and recover.
Go to the follow-up consultation
After the breast implants surgery in Chicago IL is completed, the next time you will see your surgeon is about three months after, when you’re starting to recover, during the follow-up consultation. Make sure you show up. In case you have any questions or concerns you want to raise, this is the perfect time to talk about them. Your doctor will check your scars at this time to make sure everything is healing quite nicely.
