Sex after diagnosis, during treatment and after. Is it possible to have sex after mammoplasty Intimate life after mammoplasty

Tatyana (32 years old, Odintsovo), 05/30/2017

Good afternoon, Maxim. It's my birthday soon, so I want to give myself a gift in the form of a breast augmentation. It is important to note that I want to do breasts in the summer, and during this period I develop an allergy to the pollen of flowering plants. I can’t say that the condition is becoming critical, but I feel very bad. Is it possible to do breast augmentation during this period:? What pills to drink during rehabilitation. Thanks for the answer. Tanya.

Good afternoon, Tatyana. I do not recommend breast augmentation during an allergy flare-up. It is worth waiting until there is no allergy in order to perform surgery. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Irina (26 years old, Korolyov), 05/27/2017

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I plan to increase my breasts, but at the moment I am still breastfeeding my daughter (Breastfeeding). Tell me, after what period can I do an operation to increase? Irina

Good afternoon, Irina. Breast augmentation surgery can be performed only six months after the last day of lactation. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Lilia (25 years old, Moscow), 05/25/2017

Good morning! It so happened that by nature I have very small breasts. I'm worried about surgery. I'm afraid that there will be very visible scars. There will be traces of the operation. Perhaps you can recommend how else you can increase your breasts without implants? Are there recommended injections? Sincerely, Lily.

Hello Lily! At the moment, I consider the only acceptable method of breast augmentation - plastic surgery with implants. After the operation, the traces remain minimal, and postoperative scars are difficult to see. Do not worry, because the result after this operation will definitely surprise you. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Kristina (27 years old, Moscow), 05/24/2017

Good afternoon, Maxim Alexandrovich. My girlfriend did your breasts, now I want to enlarge my breasts, because after pregnancy I am not at all satisfied with her shape. Can you tell me what are the forms? My friend chose the round shape of the implants, but for my taste, the round one looks unnatural. What could you advise in this matter?

Good afternoon! There are enough implants to choose the shape that will suit you. The shape can be: anatomical, spherical, drop-shaped and round. I can recommend a certain form of implant only after I see your breasts and their condition after pregnancy. I suggest making an appointment for a consultation. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Olga (25 years old, Moscow), 03/15/2017

I live in another city. How many days do I need to allocate for breast augmentation surgery? Is it possible to take tests in my city and come only for an operation?

It's possible. First you need to choose the day of the operation. We send you a list of tests and you submit them in advance in your city. On the eve of the operation, you need to come for a consultation, at which the doctor will select implants for you, taking into account your wishes and anatomical features. After the operation, you stay in the hospital for a day, then you are discharged and you come to remove the stitches in 3-4 days. And the doctor will let you go. That is, you will need 4-5 days to travel.

Olga (28 years old, Moscow), 12/18/2016

Hello? Maxim. I want to enlarge my breasts. How can I if I have stretch marks on my chest??

Good afternoon! The presence of stretch marks does not affect the operation. Unfortunately, stretch marks cannot be removed. With the help of cosmetic effects, they can be made less noticeable.

Anastasia (27 years old, Moscow), 11/29/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! My husband and I go to the gym, the weight of the load is not significant, but still ... I want to put implants and I would like to clarify how long it takes to return to sports?

Good afternoon, Anastasia! As a rule, you can return to sports activities one and a half months after the operation. However, it will be necessary to learn the permission of the doctor after he evaluates the failure of the sutures.

Victoria (32 years old, Moscow), 11/28/2016

Hello, I am a male transvestite, and I want to make myself a female breast (enlarge). What is needed for this, to what size can it be increased, and how much will it cost ??? Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon. The cost of the operation is 250,000. The size and shape of the implants can be determined during the consultation. Implants are placed under the pectoral muscle, the incision remains almost invisible.

Kristina (18 years old, Moscow), 09/20/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I have a zero breast size, I want (ideally) a fourth ... I myself am slim, they tell me that there can be a big load on my back. It's true?? I am 18 years old. Sincerely, Christina!

Hello Christina! There is no actual limit in matters of breast augmentation, but an experienced professional considers each individual case. In your case, it is probably undesirable to increase to the fourth size. Since there will really be a big load on the back and the risk of an unnatural appearance of the implants. In addition, you will need several operations, since surgeons do not perform a one-time breast augmentation of 4 sizes. More precisely, I can answer your question at a face-to-face consultation. Come and we will help you!

Irina (23 years old, Moscow), 09/18/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I did a breast augmentation ten years ago (two sizes, now three). Recently, my breasts have sagged a little, and it has become noticeable that I am wearing implants. Can this be fixed somehow? Thanks in advance, Irina.

Hello Irina! We can perform breast lift surgery and implant replacement, which will completely solve your problem. Come to us for a consultation and we will help you!

Many women think about what restrictions they may face in everyday life, having received the desired size and shape of the mammary glands. Made from high quality materials and have a lifetime warranty. However, every year the risk of complications associated with the introduction of prostheses increases.

Our experienced aesthetic surgeon Oleg Banizh has been practicing breast surgery for over 10 years. The main goal of our work is to achieve an unsurpassed result and keep it for the longest possible time. Hundreds of happy patients who have undergone the procedure of implantation of breast implants with us have endured the recovery process easily, without encountering side effects.

Sport and intimate life after breast plastic surgery

Since mostly perfectionists who watch their figure turn to them, they are often worried about the question: is it possible to play sports after surgery? During the rehabilitation process, heavy physical activity will be strictly prohibited for you. And this applies not only to the gym and home gymnastics: it is not recommended even to lift weights. Therefore, if you have a small child, think in advance who will be able to carry him in his arms during the first month after the operation.

Summary:

• . The first month after the operation, you will be prohibited from any physical activity;
• . Sports training can be introduced from the second month after implant placement;
• . Add load gradually: start with yoga, swimming or Pilates, and only then move on to crossfit and supersets;
• . Going to the gym and training with barbells / dumbbells is better to postpone for six months;
• . During the first year after plastic surgery, it is recommended to wear compression garments when performing any exercises;
• . It is better to exclude running for 3-4 months after plastic surgery. Start it after 5-6 months, not forgetting the bandage bra;
• . The training plan should be drawn up under the supervision of a doctor and a trainer.

It is better to limit intimate life in the first two weeks after the operation. It is also worth moving to it carefully, avoiding excessive activity. After the scars have healed and the implants are fully lowered into the capsule, the sexual life can continue in the usual preoperative rhythm.

Be sure to pick up sports supportive underwear, especially if you expose your chest to “shaking”. Running, jump rope, elliptical trainer - these exercises should only be performed with a bandage top. This rule applies all the time, regardless of the age of your new breast. However, it is relevant and useful even for girls whose breasts have not been touched by a scalpel.

Cosmetics

Cosmetic breast care after is no less important than with “natural” mammary glands. The introduction of implants does not have any effect on the condition of the skin, including a beneficial one. She also continues to age, undergo gravitational ptosis and lose her tone, with the only difference being that her form remains harmonious and less subject to destructive changes.

Restrictions on the cosmetics used apply only to the period of primary rehabilitation. You should not use:

1. Aggressive stimulants containing menthol, coniferous extracts, mint;
2. Alcohol-containing lotions and tonics;
3. Fatty base oils (especially during the healing period of stitches);
4. Creams high in fragrances and chemicals;
5. Abrasive body scrub.

If a lot of time has passed since the operation, you need to:

• . Moisturize and nourish the breast skin with serums, fluids and lotions for special purposes;
• . Use scrubs to improve blood microcirculation, tone the skin and activate lymph outflow;
• . From time to time, do home or salon wraps for the chest;
• . Refer to a contrasting circular shower;
• . Apply creams for stretch marks;
• . Attend manual and hardware procedures at your own discretion.

Water procedures and temperature conditions

The implanted breast creates many restrictions regarding the water and temperature conditions.

• . Avoid prolonged sun exposure with an open chest. Under a special ban, visiting the solarium in the first month after the operation;
• . If you can't resist topless tanning, use creams with a high level of UV protection (but only 3-4 months after the final healing of the stitches);
• . Exclude visits to the infrared sauna: there are cases of deformation of the implants after its use;
• . Classical baths and saunas are prohibited in the first months after plastic surgery. Later they can be visited, but as carefully as possible, without abusing the time spent in the steam rooms;
• . Immediately after mammoplasty, you can not take a bath and swim in the pool. Limit yourself to an ordinary shower;
• . Trips to the sea should be postponed for 2-3 months after the operation.

While your stitches are fresh, you should try to be careful in everything, because right now the wounds are at risk of infection. In addition, until the prosthesis is finally fixed in the capsule, there is a risk of breast deformity. After the rehabilitation is fully completed, you can return to your normal life. However, it is better to discuss your exotic addictions with our doctor in advance. For example, if you are impatient to visit the "steam room", you must first examine the chest and wait for the approval of a specialist.

Choosing a bra

The primary rehabilitation process involves the constant wearing of a specialized compression bra. But what to do after? How to choose beautiful underwear so that it does not harm the acquired jewelry?

A few quick tips for choosing underwear:

• . In no case do not allow wearing tight underwear that creates discomfort;
• . For 3 months after the operation, seamless, pitted underwear is recommended;
• . Watch the quality of the cut: the product should be comfortable;
• . Supporting elements (bones) should not break through the tissue and injure the skin. This is very dangerous for any breast, especially implanted ones!
• . It is better to choose a bra not exactly in size, but a little looser. You are a woman, and you must understand that your breasts tend to increase on certain days and periods of your life;
• . Pay attention to the composition of the product. Ideally, these should be breathable lightweight materials, preferably natural. Do not skimp on silk and expensive knitwear - this will bring you much more benefit than cheap synthetics;
• . Carefully inspect the linen before buying. It should not injure the nipples and irritate the skin;
• . Avoid wearing push-ups every day. Allow yourself to wear such products only on special occasions.

What is important to remember after breast augmentation

No matter how much time has passed since your transformation, you should be attentive to your breasts and contact a specialist at the first alarming symptoms.

• . We recommend that you undergo a breast MRI within the first 3 years after surgery: tomography will help assess the condition of the implants and the capsule, identify possible diseases or neoplasms. MRI is best done every 2-3 years on a regular basis.
• . If you notice strange symptoms, such as: deformation of prostheses, sharp pains in the chest, seals, hyperemia, swelling - consult a doctor immediately! It should not be thought that side effects can occur only immediately after plastic surgery. Late capsular contracture, which tends to develop 1-2 years after the operation, is the first confirmation of this.
• . The sooner you see a doctor with problems, the higher your chance of avoiding surgical treatment, getting by with conservative ones.
• . If you are concerned about the condition of the stitches, contact the operating doctor.
• . you should follow all the traditional norms of healthy lactation. Timely purchase bras according to the size of your rapidly growing breasts. During the gestation period, use means to strengthen the skin.

Are you interested in additional questions on lifestyle features after mammoplasty? Ask them to our doctor Oleg Banizh! We will help you understand all the topics that concern you and protect yourself from negative consequences.

The rehabilitation period after any operation is associated with some time limits. Of course, it is better to know about all the difficulties in advance, but because of the excitement, a woman simply forgets to ask the doctor, for example, why it is impossible to have sex after mammoplasty, go to the sea and many other nuances of the recovery period. Especially for you, plastic surgeon Anastasia Borisenko answers the most popular questions.

Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask!

How long does it take for the body to recover after surgery?

- Everyone is different. For someone, 2-3 months is enough, for someone, rehabilitation lasts about six months or longer. It all depends on the state of health, the complexity of plastic surgery, how carefully the woman follows the recommendations. The breast becomes completely its own after about 5-6 weeks: the edema goes away, and the tissues regain their former softness and elasticity.

Can I smoke after mammoplasty?

- Nicotine resins negatively affect blood circulation and tissue healing. In principle, smoking after mammoplasty is possible, but highly undesirable. In the first 2-3 weeks, it is best to give up this bad habit or at least reduce the number of cigarettes. It is also better not to drink alcohol.

If a woman is into sports, when can she resume training?

- About a month later, if the swelling has already gone. Loads should be increased gradually, be sure to wear compression underwear and not make sudden movements with your arms and body. By the way, you can do volleyball afterwards only after the permission of the doctor.

Is it reasonable to immediately go on vacation after mammoplasty? Is it possible to sunbathe? Bathe?

- If possible, then you can safely go on a trip in 3-4 weeks. It is best to choose a vacation where there will be no great physical exertion and sudden weather changes. You can sunbathe after mammoplasty in a month, but very carefully. Make sure that the sun's rays do not fall on the scars, otherwise they will harden and become noticeable. I recommend to my patients to get a closed sports swimsuit, especially since they are back in fashion and very comfortable.

A question that worries not only women, but also their men: how long can you have sex after mammoplasty?

- The female body is designed in such a way that during intimacy, blood rushes to the chest. Pain and swelling may increase. Therefore, you can have sex after mammoplasty only after a month, and then carefully - inverted extreme positions should be avoided. An important point: contraception. It is better to postpone pregnancy for a year and a half. Let your body rest.

By the way, about rest. After mammoplasty, can I sleep on my side or on my stomach?

- When it suits you. Be guided by a simple rule: if any movement or posture causes pain, you need to avoid them. Theoretically, you can sleep on your side after mammoplasty in 2-3 weeks. I had patients who slept in this position already on the seventh day.

What is the best way to help the body recover faster? For example, is it possible to go for a massage after mammoplasty?

— You can’t sign up for a massage after mammoplasty, but you need to! Thanks to this procedure, an elastic capsule is formed without seals and thickenings, swelling disappears faster, local blood circulation and lymphatic drainage are normalized. You can start as early as day 5. Do not forget to regularly apply moisturizing and firming creams and lotions to the skin to prevent stretch marks and overdrying. Be sure to wear compression stockings for a year after surgery. Remember, the best result is only possible when the plastic surgeon and the patient work together!

Mammoplasty is a breast correction surgery. Despite the fact that this surgical intervention is considered not very difficult, special medical recommendations should be followed after it.

This article will discuss in detail the question of when you can have sex after mammoplasty and what rules you need to follow.

Features of rehabilitation

The course of rehabilitation on average lasts from two to three months after mammoplasty. If the patient does not have any complications in the condition, then on the fifth day her stitches are removed, and she goes home.

A very important condition for proper rehabilitation is wearing tight compression underwear.

It is necessary to fix the "new" breast and give it the correct shape. A woman should be in such underwear for the first month.

This tight bandage will give maximum comfort to the patient and relieve her of sharp pains in the muscles that can occur when walking fast or too sharp hand movements.

In order for the postoperative scar to heal as quickly as possible, a woman needs to be extremely careful and not raise her hands up.

With proper care of the suture, a month after mammoplasty, it should acquire a pinkish color. Six months later, it should not be noticeable at all.

During the rehabilitation period, a woman should visit a doctor once a month and undergo an examination. This is necessary for the control of general health, as well as for the control of the wound and implants.

In order for the rehabilitation period to end successfully as soon as possible, the patient should adhere to the following medical recommendations:

• regularly wear compression underwear;
• completely limit physical activity in the next two months after the operation (refuse to lift weights, clean the house, play sports, run, swim, etc.);
• you can take a shower no earlier than on the fifth day after the operation (due to the risk of infection in a fresh wound). It is also advisable not to wet the seam before the medical threads are removed;
• refuse to visit the solarium and the beach for six months. In the future, it is recommended to avoid hitting the chest with ultraviolet rays;
• apply the recommended creams and ointments that will promote the healing of sutures;
• very carefully monitor your diet, especially in the first months after surgery. The body must fully recover, so the diet should be rich in vitamins (vegetables, fruits) and proteins (eggs, meat, liver);
• in order to remove swelling from the mammary glands, you should do a light massage;
• in the first days after mammoplasty, it is very important not to sleep on your stomach and side. You need to try to move less in general and stay in a state of rest;
• in the first week after the operation, you can not bend over (this can provoke the occurrence of a hematoma);
• it is recommended to get behind the wheel of a car no earlier than five days after anesthesia, since after the operation her body is greatly weakened by medications, and the woman's reactions can be inhibited.

When can I have sex after mammoplasty?

You can have sex after mammoplasty no earlier than two months after the operation.

This rule is very important to observe, since its violation can lead to serious risks to a woman's health.

Justify this by the fact that intimacy is always accompanied by a large load on the body and hormonal background of a woman, which is highly undesirable after any operation.

In addition, only after a two-month rehabilitation course, the “new” breast will be able to acquire a more beautiful appearance, since in the first weeks after mammoplasty it is too painful, swollen and swollen.

Main risks

The main risks of having sex before the specified period can be divided into three separate groups:

• risks associated with physical activity;
• complications and risks associated with possible breast injury;
• risks associated with changes in a woman's hormonal background during sex.

Let's consider each subgroup in more detail.

Physical activity related

Most often, with early physical exertion, the patient exposes herself and her health to such risks:

• displacement of implants to the side or up. This condition will be accompanied by severe pain and discomfort. In this case, one or two implants will be deformed, and the breast will become uneven, crooked, flat, etc.
• when the mammary glands are displaced, there is a high risk that the operation will have to be repeated, since the purely aesthetic appearance of the breast will be ugly;
• Excessive physical activity is very harmful to fresh wounds, especially if the stitches have not yet been removed from them. With an intense load and sudden movements, a woman's external seams may disperse. This can lead to infection and a sharp deterioration in the patient's condition;
• when the sutures break, the woman will feel severe pain and burning.

One of the biggest risks is the formation of a hematoma and severe swelling.

Such phenomena are not at all uncommon after mammoplasty, therefore it is highly recommended not to contribute to their appearance with additional physical activity.

This is explained by the fact that newly formed hematomas will not always be able to completely resolve and disappear. Sometimes they just freeze and harden.

As a result, an ugly scar or hematoma appears on the woman’s chest, which will require additional surgery to remove or correct.

In turn, the woman will have to go through another operation.

Associated with possible injury

When having sex, there is a risk that the breast will accidentally be subject to injury.

This, in turn, is dangerous for the following reasons:

• on the mammary glands, which have not yet fully healed, the formation of bruises, bruises, etc. is possible. First of all, it will be extremely ugly, and secondly, it is dangerous, since hemorrhages can cause inflammation, and the woman's temperature will rise. Such a condition will require immediate hospitalization and medical treatment;
• with a strong compression of the mammary glands, a woman will feel severe pain;
• in case of accidental injury to the breast, the implants can move, and the mammary glands will take on an undesirable shape;
• with a chest injury, an infection can get into a fresh wound. At best, this will lead to an increase in temperature, at worst - to blood poisoning. If antibiotics fail to stabilize the woman's condition, then most likely the implants will need to be removed so that the body can recover.

Hormonal background

Even though the risk of injury during intimacy can be excluded, sexual excitement can still lead to complications in a woman's condition.

This is justified by the fact that when excited in the female hormonal background, strong physiological changes occur in the form of blood flow to the chest.

In turn, this can lead to increased edema, and the release of blood into the lymph located near the implants.

In addition, the most dangerous is the risk of hematoma formation, which will need to be removed.

In order to minimize possible risks during rehabilitation, you should remember the following tips:

• the first intimacy after mammoplasty should be very careful. In this case, the woman must be in compressor underwear;
• for a quick recovery of the body after surgery, it is recommended to give up bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol);
• in order not to contribute to breast edema, in the first days after mammoplasty, no more than two liters of liquid should be consumed;
• be attentive to your health. And if you experience pain, immediately tell the doctor about it. He can prescribe effective pain medications;
• it is very important to use special creams for quick healing of wounds. Also quite effective are special silicone patches, which in just a few days are able to tighten the seam, so that later it would not be so noticeable.

Contraindications for mammoplasty

Before deciding on a breast correction, it is important to know in which cases it cannot be performed:

• age up to eighteen years, when the body is not yet fully formed;
• pregnancy and lactation (it is recommended to carry out mammoplasty no earlier than eight months after the end of breastfeeding);
• the presence of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• diseases of the nervous system, in which a person does not control himself and can harm himself;
• any serious chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, hepatitis, HIV infection, jaundice);
• blood clotting disorder;
• kidney disease;
• weakened immunity.

What to do if complications occur

If unwanted symptoms occur or a general deterioration in the condition, it is recommended to immediately consult a doctor, since negative symptoms can lead to serious health complications.

The most dangerous symptoms are:

• the appearance of swelling in the chest;
• an increase in body temperature that lasts more than two days;
• severe chest pain;
• divergence of seams;
• change in the shape of the breast, which was immediately after the operation;
• breast deformity (when one mammary gland is higher or more equal than the other);
• severe swelling of the mammary glands;
• bruising and bruising on the chest.

Plastic surgery is the most effective method for breast augmentation. Having fallen into the hands of a good surgeon, a woman will receive beautiful, firm breasts of the desired size.

That's just the postoperative result does not entirely depend on the qualifications of the doctor and the quality of the work performed. The quality of compliance with medical recommendations during the recovery period plays an important role.

Insufficient care of the postoperative scar, refusal to wear compression garments, an earlier return to physical activity, and even the wrong posture in bed lead to unpleasant consequences that can negate all the efforts of surgeons.

First days after surgery

Immediately after the intervention, the woman goes to the ward for observation.

As the withdrawal from anesthesia increases discomfort and pain in the mammary gland. The chest is swollen, there may be bruising in places. This is a normal process that will gradually pass.

In case of severe pain, the doctor prescribes painkillers. Initially, their intravenous or intramuscular administration is carried out, and after the drugs are given in tablets.

The next day after the operation, the woman's condition returns to normal and she goes home.

Hospital stay

The duration of hospitalization after breast augmentation depends on the type of operation and the patient's health status. The woman stays in the clinic for at least a day, during the normal course of the operation, this time is enough.

Hospitalization is necessary in order to detect early postoperative complications such as an adverse reaction to anesthesia or bleeding in time.

The next day after breast augmentation surgery, the doctor examines the postoperative wound, makes a dressing and gives the woman recommendations for a favorable course of the recovery period.

If on the first day after the operation there are any complications, then the woman remains in the hospital as long as necessary to stabilize the condition.

Compression underwear

Immediately after the operation, the breast is tightened with elastic bandages. They fix the glands well and reduce swelling. The next day, during the first dressing, the elastic bandages are removed, the wound is treated, a plaster and special compression underwear are put on.

High-quality compression underwear, selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient's body, makes it easier to endure the postoperative period and shorten its period by several weeks.

The composition of compression underwear includes elastane, which allows you to adjust the tension, providing the necessary support and at the same time without squeezing the mammary glands.

The functions of compression underwear are as follows:

• tissue support;
• prevention of divergence of seams;
• removal of edema from soft tissues;
• giving the mammary glands the necessary shape.

In addition, constant compression stimulates the metabolism and regeneration of the epithelium, so that postoperative wounds heal faster.

Compression underwear should be worn for 3-4 weeks after mammoplasty around the clock, and over the next month it is necessary to wear it for the day and during physical exertion.

After removing the compression underwear, you should not immediately put on a chic bra that does not fix the chest. Throughout the year, you should wear underwear with a dense base, voluminous cups and wide straps.

Seam processing

Postoperative sutures must be looked after until a full scar is formed.

Until the stitches are removed, the wound should be treated with antiseptics, which will be recommended by the attending physician. This event will eliminate the risk of infection in the wound. Suppuration of the postoperative scar will lead to the fact that the recovery period will increase and as a result a rough scar will form.

The sutures are removed 5-7 days after the operation.

Some specialists prefer to use absorbable sutures, so removal of sutures is not required in this case. However, after 5-7 days, the woman will still have to come for a consultation to assess the quality of healing.

An important point in the processing of seams is the use of special creams. Gel Contratubex stimulates the formation of new epithelial cells, which leads to the formation of a gentle, inconspicuous scar. Use cream for regeneration of the epithelium should be after the removal of sutures and wound healing.

Limitation of physical activity

A few weeks after the operation, it is strictly forbidden to play sports and overexert. The attending physician, depending on the type of operation, stipulates this time.

This does not mean that a woman should lie in bed and not move. A week after mammoplasty, light physical exercises should be performed, which will improve the recovery of breast tissue.

Preventive massage after surgery

Breast massage for women with implants should be done regularly. It will prevent the formation of connective tissue around the endoprosthesis and the appearance of stretch marks.

When you can start doing massage, the doctor will say. Also, the surgeon will tell the patient techniques for massage that will not harm the breasts and will be effective.

How long is the rehabilitation period

The duration of the rehabilitation period after breast augmentation depends both on the type of operation and on the quality of implementation of the recommendations.

Let's highlight the following points of the rehabilitation period:

• Return to normal life usually occurs after 2-3 weeks.
• The appearance of the breast is restored after 1.5-2 months, when bruises and swelling go away.
• The rehabilitation period is considered completed only after the restoration of the mammary glands. This is observed after 6 months, when the final effect of mammoplasty is recorded.
• It is believed that the breast tissue itself is completely restored one year after the installation of implants.

• Constant use of special creams. This is necessary so that the breast tissues receive enough nutrients and do not stretch.
• You can not take a shower before the healing of the postoperative wound, otherwise you can bring the infection.
• The first time (7 days) after the operation, you should sleep on your back, then on your side, and only after a month you can lie on your stomach.
• At the end of the recovery period, you should gradually return to sports.

weight loss after

Small mammary glands do not allow large implants to be placed because they will be contoured and the breast will take on an unnatural shape. With a large amount of adipose tissue, a woman has the opportunity to install large implants that will look natural.

When losing weight from the chest area, fat deposits are one of the first to go. This will cause the implant to be contoured and immediately make the breast look unnatural. In addition, this can serve as an impetus for the development of complications, in particular, the growth of connective tissue around the implant (capsular contracture).

Frequently asked Questions

How long do implants last, do they need to be changed?

It is believed that modern implants have a lifetime and do not need to be changed. However, 10 years after the operation, half of the women need to repeat it, and the quality of the implants does not play a role here. Over time, soft tissues undergo changes, become thinner, and the endoprosthesis begins to contour. Connective tissue develops around the implant, which requires a second operation.

When can the end result be assessed?

The end result is evaluated after six months. However, after 3 months, you can evaluate whether the operation was successful and see the first results.

When can I plan pregnancy after breast augmentation?

Pregnancy can only be planned one year after the operation. It is by this time that the mammary gland is fully restored and ready for breastfeeding.

When can I return to normal life (exercises, intimate life, swimming)?

You can fly by plane already 7-10 days after the operation. Heavy sports should be avoided for at least 3 months, and light exercise is allowed after 3-5 weeks, depending on the condition. It is recommended to swim and visit the sauna not earlier than after 3 months.

Intimate life should be excluded for at least a month after breast augmentation. During arousal, blood flow to the tissues of the gland increases, which will lead to an increase in edema and slow recovery.

When can I shower after surgery?

You can wash using the shower 5-7 days after the operation, but you can take a bath only after a month.

Is it necessary to wear special underwear?

Yes, the patient must wear special underwear, otherwise the result of even the most successful operation will be ruined.

Can I return to diving lessons?

After mammoplasty, a woman can lead a normal life, as before the operation. The main thing is to meet the deadlines necessary for this. Return to diving is allowed after a month.

How often do you need to see a surgeon after surgery?

After breast augmentation surgery, there are mandatory examinations by the surgeon. They are held the next day, 3 days later, a week and 10 days later. Then the doctor appoints a consultation after 1, 3 and 6 months. However, they are optional and the woman may choose not to attend.
