Recovery After Breast Enlargement Toronto

By Shawn Hunter


Women consider plastic surgery as a normal part of life. They have various needs for self-improvement including breast enlargement Toronto. Sometimes it is a matter of appearance or cosmetics, and sometimes it is for the purposes of post-surgical reconstruction. Whatever the reason, the recovery process is vital to avoid complications and repercussions.

Procedures can be either of two types: subglandular or submuscular, the latter involving the cutting of muscles in the chest wall behind the breasts, thus requiring more recovery time. It, of course, varies with the age and health condition of the patient. Overall, there are some generalizations that can be made. It is best, however, to consult one's doctor in regard to healing expectation and to follow the post-op protocol advised.

It is wise to give yourself at least six weeks for a good recovery before you try to do anything strenuous in the way of physical activity. Each week there will be some progress. Swelling and bruising should diminish as the appearance of the breasts changes. It is wise not to be overly concerned with this temporary situation. Your skin may be sensitive to the touch and you may feel considerable pain and discomfort. It is all par for the course with plastic surgery. There is not much one can do except to rest.

Surgery is tough for most, cosmetic or not. With breast work, you will need pain medication and ice packs to enhance healing. Drugs can induce constipation and nausea but are well worth the side effects. Compresses placed in the breast area will ease discomfort and reduce swelling. It is a bit tricky in that you are wearing compression bandages.

There is no rushing the healing process. It is best to get one's rest and recuperate slowly. The age and health condition of the patient are always factors. Most everyone, however, responds to medication and ice packs after the enlargement procedure. Cold compresses can be assembled or purchased and they are to be applied until swelling subsides.

Apart from scars and bruising, the breasts will change in size, shape, and texture. Again, it is nothing to worry about and is quite expected. You cannot judge the final results too early on and should wait for your surgeon to advise you whether you have achieved full recovery.

It is vital to follow doctor's advice at all times. He will tell you not to sleep on your stomach as it may cause discomfort and to avoid baths and showers for at least a few days - until the bandages are removed. He will mention to use the ice and mind the drains and come for a follow up visit.

It takes fortitude and personal strength to undergo any surgery, and it is certainly true of the breasts. Following the guidelines given in the medical office will ensure better and faster recovery. Listen to the advice and follow it to the letter.
