Many patients perceive mammoplasty as an aesthetic medical procedure that improves the shape. Indeed, modern technologies make it possible to enlarge breasts quickly and at an affordable price, but do not forget that plastic surgery is a real surgery, which means an intervention in the patient`s body. Only after two to three months the body stops perceiving the implant as a foreign object and begins to form connective tissue around it.

How the recovery after surgery will take place depends not only on the professionalism of the surgeon who performed the breast augmentation, but also on the characteristics of the patient`s body, the thoroughness of her adherence to recommendations, previous surgical interventions, etc.

If you have any of the following symptoms, contact your supervising surgeon immediately:

The increased body temperature persists after a week.

The release of fluid is observed from the seams, they turned red unevenly a week or more after the operation (in the first 2-3 days this is a normal process).

After 2-3 weeks, you experience a sharp deterioration in well-being.

There is a significant change in scar tissue (bulging, redness).

Perhaps the recovery period is not going well, you need the help of a specialist who will find the cause and correct the care.

• Awake from anesthesia. In plastic surgery turkey istanbul, as a rule, the highest quality and modern anesthetic drugs are used. However, the process of getting out of medication sleep can be unpredictable. Headaches, sleep disturbances in the first days are possible.
• By the end of the first day, local swelling begins to increase, which will reach a maximum by 3-5 days, and then begins to slowly subside. By the end of 4 weeks after the operation, it should completely go away, however, it can appear again for up to six months with the use of alcohol, salty and spicy foods, with intense physical exertion and hormonal disruptions.
• Patients often find bruises immediately after or a few days after the operation - this is normal and will go away in 3-4 days.
• Discomfort and pain of varying strength for 3-7 days. They are removed with painkillers, depend on the patient`s pain threshold and whether the pectoralis major muscle was detached during the operation.
• Increased or decreased sensitivity of the nipple and soft tissues of the breast can be associated with edema and usually returns to normal after 3-6 months of surgery.

The stitches must remain dry and require special care.

The first day after surgery:

• after the application of the stitches in the operating room, the patient is put on a selected special compression garment, which must be used for a whole month (it can be removed for a hygienic shower);
• the patient is transferred from the operating room to the wake-up ward, where the anesthesiologist closely monitors her condition;
• after 1-2 hours - transfer to a regular ward, where observation by the medical staff on duty of the clinic continues;
• Medicine treatment (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs).

1-4 days after mammoplasty:

• a day later, the patient is discharged with detailed recommendations for proper rehabilitation;
• maximum rest is recommended, any physical activity is strictly prohibited, including raising arms above chest level;
• there is pain and discomfort that can be easily eliminated by a pain reliever prescribed by a doctor;
• body temperature is often observed up to 37.5 degrees.

3-5 day:

• swelling increases, discomfort increases;
• hand movement may be difficult due to swelling.

At this moment, do not panic and draw any conclusions, it is important to limit activity and avoid direct sunlight.

5-6 days:

• the pain is finished, there is almost no discomfort;
• a gradual return to normal life, but you cannot actively do sports, lift weights, you can sleep only on your back (as well as over the next 2-3 weeks).

After a week, you will also have to visit a doctor so that he can assess the healing process of the stitches, the position of the implant and the restoration of tissues, and make a correction of the drug treatment (if necessary).

After two weeks, the patient finally physically and psychologically gets used to the new bust, does not feel pain and can walk without restrictions in time and intensity.

A month later, the woman will have to visit the surgeon again, who can allow her to take off her compression garments while she sleeps, if the recovery process goes without complications. How soon the patient will be able to return to life without restrictions depends on what kind of operation was performed: with a decrease or a lift of the mammary glands, rehabilitation is much faster than with a breast augmentation by several sizes.

After 2 months, you can draw the first conclusions about the result of breast plastic surgery. Edema completely disappears or remains insignificant, there is no discomfort. It is necessary to visit the surgeon again, who, after examination, can give permission for moderate and gradually increasing physical activity without stressing the muscles of the chest and shoulder girdle.

Massages, thermal procedures (baths, saunas, hot baths) are prohibited for several months.

Important! The terms of rehabilitation and recovery may be shifted due to the state of health and individual characteristics of the patient`s body.

• Do not raise your hands up, lift heavy objects (more than 3 kg.), Open doors and make other sudden movements for 5-7 days after the implant is installed, as it may shift, and the healing tissue will stretch.
• Avoid driving a car for at least two weeks after surgery to avoid straining the pectoral muscles and pinching the chest with a seat belt.
• It is forbidden to sleep and lie on the stomach and any side, only on the back, for at least 3 weeks.
• Refrain from sex for 1 month after surgery to eliminate the risk of accidental injury in a fit of feelings and fluctuations in hormonal levels.
• Too early sports activities are fraught with internal bleeding and increase the risk of displacement of implants. You can start training only after the permission of your doctor.
• It is impossible to sunbathe in a solarium or on the beach, steam in a bath or a sauna from six months to a year, until the scar tissue is completely formed. If this prohibition is violated, the scars may become more visible. However, a short visit to a milder Turkish hamam is quite possible after three months of recovery, but only after the permission of a doctor.
• You can swim in the bathroom and open reservoirs after a couple of months of favorable rehabilitation. It is allowed to wash in the shower after five days; for this, a special plaster is glued to the stitches. Before that, it is necessary to use wet sanitary napkins, and wash your head with assistance, without bending (for example, in a hairdresser).
• Two weeks before plastic surgery turkey istanbul and four weeks after, a ban on smoking and alcohol is prohibited even longer - for 2 months.

Plastic surgeons recommend that patients be especially careful to monitor weight fluctuations. After surgery, both sudden weight loss and weight gain are unacceptable. In the first case, the protrusion of the implant is possible, in the second - the formation of ptosis and stretching of the epidermis.

One of the main rules of recovery is wearing special compression underwear for 2 months. This requires patience and discipline from the patient, but it is precisely this kind of underwear that forms and fixes a beautiful bust.

Compliance with all the doctor`s recommendations is the key to successful rehabilitation and recovery! Welcome to the clinics with the best plastic surgeon in Turkey!
