Breast Surgery: What Happens Next?

How to take care of your new set of breasts

What are the DO's and DON'Ts after receiving breast augmentation surgery? 

1. It is normal to feel stuffy after breast surgery. It means that your breasts are healing nicely so you don't need to worry. DON'T take off the compression band yourself - let the hospital do that for you. 

2. You can start eating 6~8 hours after the surgery. Help recover your body by taking in soft food like soup and porridge. Avoid spicy or stimulating food. That is a definite DON'T. 

3. Please, please, avoid smoking or drinking for at least 4 weeks. This will cause the scars to heal very slowly, causing various problems for the surgical area. This is also a NO-NO. 


4. This may only apply to some people, but if you enjoy going to the sauna every now and then, you must first get your thread removed before going into the steam room. This is usually 1 month after the surgery. 


5. DON'T lift your arms higher than your shoulders. Also, avoid carrying heavy objects and wildly flailing your arms. Light stretching is recommended, but stay away from golf, swimming, tennis, and aerobics - this may rupture the implants! 

6. Try not to pull your neck downwards or lie on your side when you sleep. 

7. And stack a couple pillows together to make it high which will help with the swelling. This is a DO-DO. 


Follow these instructions and you'll have the perfect set of beautiful & healthy breasts you've always wanted :)
