1. How long after breast augmentation with prostheses can I exercise and exercise vigorously?

The first month after surgery is the time to return to free movement, and do not do strenuous physical exertion during this time. The pectoralis major muscle needs to be rested after surgery, and too much exercise too early will lead to capsular hyperplasia, so it is recommended to do some gentle and gentle exercises gradually after 2 months after surgery.

2. Do I need massage after breast augmentation with implants?

Whether or not you need a massage after breast augmentation depends on the type of implant, and a smooth implant can be massaged to a certain extent. Rough prosthesis should not be massaged after surgery, because the friction between the prosthesis and the capsule will cause the capsule to be congested and thickened, and repeated friction damage to the capsule tissue is easy to cause inflammatory reactions. It is recommended to stretch your shoulders back or walk with your hands behind your back, and be sure to maintain a posture of holding your chest up, and remember not to hold your chest to stretch the prosthesis.

3. How long should I wear the breast strap after breast augmentation?

In order to form the capsule in the correct position, it is recommended to wear the breast band for at least 1 month after surgery, during which the upper arm is raised but not the shoulder, and no strenuous exercise is done or heavy lifting is carried out.

4. How long is the recovery time after breast augmentation surgery?

The swelling and pain were more pronounced one week after surgery.

1-3 months after surgery, during the capsule formation stage after breast augmentation, the swelling and hardness will be felt during the capsule formation process.

3-6 months after surgery, the capsule is completely formed, and the feel is softer and more natural.

5. How long does it take to change from hard to soft after breast augmentation?

The softening cycle of the implant is from soft-hard-soft, the postoperative half a month is soft, to the hardest in January-February, after 3 months, it begins to gradually become soft and natural, and about 2 years after breast augmentation, the softness reaches the best.

6. How to reduce the rate of capsular contracture with breast augmentation?

During the procedure, it is necessary to reduce the amount of bleeding and reduce the infection due to hematomas and seromas.

Choose a regular, appropriately sized implant, and if you are too thin and have less breast tissue, it is recommended not to choose an oversized implant. Accurate chest measurements are performed before surgery to ensure the size range of implants that can be implanted.

7. Does the size of the implant affect the postoperative feel?

The feel of the breast will not deteriorate due to the increase in the size of the implant after surgery, and the size of the implant will not affect the softness of the hand as long as the volume is within the appropriate range. The implant is not the decisive factor in determining the postoperative feel, but in order to have a natural and soft feel after the postoperative operation, the level of implant placement, the doctor's operation technique, experience, and the basic conditions of the patient himself.

It's all related. 8. What kind of discomfort is normal after breast augmentation?

It is normal to have a feeling of swelling pain, foreign body sensation, tingling sensation, and pulling sensation after breast augmentation, which is caused by nerve sensitivity, tension and discomfort with the implant, which will gradually improve with time. As long as it is cyclical pain, or pain related to menstrual periods, it is normal, but if the discomfort is informal, persistent, and the pain becomes more severe and obvious, it needs to be taken seriously.
