03/Surgical Details

WHAT HAPPENS DURING SURGERY?

  • •Implants: Silicone gel implants are placed either under the breast tissue or partially under the chest muscle.
  • •Fat transfer: Your own fat is liposuctioned from another area (like the abdomen or thighs), purified, and injected into the breasts for a modest size increase., fat transfer usually takes more than one sitting to acheive desired results since some amount of fat usually gets absorbed by the body post surgery.
  • •The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours under general anesthesia.
04/Recovery Timeline

RECOVERY

Recovery varies, but a typical timeline looks like this:

  • •Days 1–3: Swelling, tightness, and soreness are normal; pain is usually most noticeable in the first 24–48 hours.
  • •Week 1: Many people return to desk work within 7–10 days if their job isn’t physically demanding.
  • •Weeks 2–4: Swelling and bruising fade; implants begin to “drop and fluff” into a more natural position.
  • •Weeks 4–6: Most daily activities and light exercise are okay once your surgeon clears you.
  • •Months 3–6: Final shape, softness, and scar maturation continue to improve.

Helpful recovery tips include wearing your surgical/support bra as directed, sleeping on your back with your upper body elevated, walking daily to improve circulation, and avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous upper-body exercise until cleared.
