Surgery is only the first step towards fuller and more beautiful breasts. Following your breast enhancement surgery, the recovery period is a crucial time during which your body heals and your new breast implants settle into their proper position and shape.

Following Breast Implant surgery you can:

Drink alcoholic beverages only after you have stopped taking your pain medications.
Sleep on your back.
Lift your arm up to the shoulder level during the first 2 weeks.
Massage your breasts as advised by doctor.

Following Breast Implant surgery you can’t:

Sleep on your stomach or sides for 6 weeks.
Run, jump or perform any other vigorous physical activity that will make your breasts bounce and potentially break open your wounds, or dislodge your implants.
Lift your arms above your shoulders, especially if you have an armpit wound.
Bath for 2 weeks; after the first few days, you can shower, but make sure to dry your wounds well (you should use a hairdryer on a low setting to completely dry the wounds and the dressings).
Get your wounds wet for the first 2 – 5 days after surgery.
