After The Breast Enlargement Operation (Boob Job)
Postoperative Management
You will be required to spend 1 night in hospital following a breast enlargement operation (breast augmentation or boob job) before being discharged home. You will be issued with a telephone number to ring in the event of a problem or query.
A properly fitted bra should be worn day and night for two weeks after your breast enlargement operation (boob job). Thereafter a bra should be worn as usual.
The wound dressings under each breast should be kept dry and patients should wash themselves with a sponge, avoiding baths and showers until the incisions from the breast enlargement operation (boob job) have properly healed.
Heavy lifting should be avoided for two weeks after breast enlargement surgery (boob job). Strenuous exercise such as aerobics and swimming should be avoided for at least six weeks after your breast enlargement operation (boob job) in order to give the wounds adequate time to heal fully.
You must attend a follow-up appointment with the surgeon a week to ten days after your breast enlargement operation (boob job) for review and stitch removal.
Recovery & Results Following Breast Enlargement (Boob Job)
Most patients undergoing a breast enlargement operation (boob job) are young and fit and tend to recover very quickly. Unless their occupation entails strenuous activity or heavy lifting, most women can go back to work just a few days after their breast enlargement surgery (boob job).
Most patients are completely comfortable with the change to their breasts and cease to be aware of the silicone breast implants within a few weeks after their breast enlargement operation (boob job). There are no physical restrictions after healing of the breasts has occurred and most women will quickly forget they have breast implants and carry on as before.
