After Breast Implants

Don’t wait until the day of  your breast augmentation surgery to talk to your plastic surgeon about what will happen after breast implant surgery. If you don’t discuss your breast augmentation recovery with your cosmetic surgeon before the day of your surgery, you may find that you’re not fully prepared.

For example, most plastic surgeons will want you to wear a compression garment for a period of time immediately after breast implant surgery. And because these plastic surgery garments come in a variety of styles, it’s important to talk to your plastic surgeon about which type is best for you.

Cosmetic surgeons may have different preferences as to whether you should wear a breast augmentation bra or compression bra or an augmentation bandeau. Which one your plastic surgeon wants you to wear may depend on the type of incision, the shape and size of your breast implants, or whether you’re getting silicone implants or saline implants.

Other things you’ll want to discuss with your plastic surgeon before your breast implant surgery include pain control during your breast augmentation recovery, breast augmentation recovery time, and when you will be able to return to work and resume normal activities.

These are the types of decisions that will need to be made in advance, so talk to your plastic surgeon today and get ready for a smooth recovery.

How Important are Compression Garments after Plastic Surgery?

Your plastic surgeon has advised you to wear a compression garment during your plastic surgery recovery and you’re wondering if it’s really necessary. To make an informed decision, you need to understand the reasons why plastic surgery recovery garments are an important part of recovery.

Let’s say you’ve just had breast augmentation surgery and, of course, you’re anxious to see your results. Breast augmentation recovery garments will help to minimize bruising and swelling, which means faster results and less pain. During breast augmentation recovery, breast implants also have a tendency to want to rise. Your breast augmentation bra or augmentation bandeau will keep them in place.

Or suppose you’ve had liposuction surgery. After liposuction, your stomach area will be tender. A compression girdle or abdominal binder will stabilize your torso, which will help to minimize pain when moving. Liposuction recovery garments also help to tighten the skin at the surgical site, giving you a smoother, more toned look.

After cosmetic surgery, good circulation is important to promote healing. Plastic surgery compression garments

improve circulation and flush out fluids that could potentially be dangerous.
