What Do You Need to Know About Breast Implant Recovery?

Women should have someone come with them to their procedure in order to drive them home after the fact and take care of them in the immediate hours after the operation. The breast implant surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and most patients wake up feeling nauseous, dizzy and confused.

It can take a while to come out of the anesthesia, so it is advised that a caretaker be available for the first several hours after the operation. Patients will experience bruising, and swelling and pain immediately after the surgery is complete.

In addition to feeling physical symptoms associated with the breast implant procedure, women may also find themselves experiencing emotional side effects. Some women report that they feel very emotional in the days after their surgery. A woman might feel sad or regretful, but then be laughing about those emotions in the next minute.

It is important to discuss all physical and emotional symptoms with the surgeon during all follow-up appointments. If a woman feels overwhelmed by these emotional side effects, she should take time out from her day to rest, breathe and relax in order to stabilize her feelings.

Cold compresses can be used in order to help alleviate pain from the surgery. Patients should take time to rest for several days after their breast implant procedure. It is important to sleep in a position that protects the breasts and minimizes swelling and bruising.

Most women will be prescribed pain medications from their surgeon in order to manage the pain associated with the operation.
