What is the Recovery Time After a Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery is a big decision that can provide patients with life-changing results. The procedure is designed to enhance the size and shape of your breasts and can have a positive impact on every aspect of your life including psychological benefits. It’s common for many women to see a boost in self-image and self-confidence once they achieve their desired contours.

Dr. Tenley K. Lawton is a highly-skilled surgeon who uses the latest advancements in medical technologies allowing you to get back to your life as quickly as possible. She is meticulous in her techniques and has perfected the art of creating and closing incisions in a way that gives you an optimal outcome with the least amount of downtime.*

Your breast surgery will be done under general anesthesia and is performed as an outpatient procedure. You’ll be unable to drive, so it’s important to have someone on-call to take you home after your operation. A friend or family member should also be available to stay with you up to 24-hours post-surgery.

You will be on restricted activities 1-2 weeks after your breast augmentation. Walking around your home and minor activities are okay in 1-2 days following your procedure.

In most cases, you can return to light activities or work within 1-week. After 2-weeks you can begin to slowly incorporate more strenuous activities into your routine. Listen to your body. It will tell you when enough is enough. Pushing yourself too hard can prolong the healing process and result in potential complications.
