      Recovery

      Your surgeon will take your medical history and guide you through exactly what to expect when recovering during your consultation, so you can prepare and know what to expect.

      During the first 48 hours, you may have an elevated body temperature and swelling of the breasts. This is expected and both should return to normal over time.

      Your breast implants need to be held in their new position, so you will require a surgical support bra to stay in place for a two to four-week period after breast augmentation surgery. During this time, you must restrict your activity to ensure the breast implants are not disturbed. Your surgeon will sometimes recommend the use of an upper pole strap to hold your breasts in the desired position.

      Further guidance

        Sleep or rest with your head slightly elevated, avoiding lateral positions. Keep your arms close to your body, and avoid lifting weights until allowed by your surgeon.

      • Group 1521

      FAQs

      Breast augmentation is a long-term commitment, and you may require adjustment surgery at a later date. Until recently, the average product life of breast implants was thought to be 10 years. This is no longer the case. Modern breast implants can last for twice that term without needing to be replaced. But if you are in your early 20s, please be aware that you may require additional breast enlargement surgery later in life.
