If you are married or have a partner, the decision to get breast enhancement surgery is often one made by both people. It could be a “gift” to the other person or it could be something both parties agreed would be a positive change. No matter what your reason is for getting breast enlargement surgery, it is important to understand how the recovery process works and what you can expect. For the first few days after surgery, you are going to be laid out and your partner is going to have to play bed nurse. Here are a few important things you need to keep in mind during your breast augmentation recovery.
First off, your doctor or surgeon is going to provide you with a printed list of things to do and things to look out for in the days following your surgery. It is extremely important that you put this piece of paper somewhere where you can read it every few hours. The chances of infection or other compilations are slim, but things can go from bad to worse very quickly so it is important that you look for warning signs on a regular basis. Even though painkillers will be prescribed, many women have compared the days following breast augmentation surgery to the pain of child birth. Thankfully, this pain doesn’t last very long and a full recovery often takes less than six weeks.
The biggest enemy of any breast augmentation recovery process is infection. Keep all dressings clean and dry at all times and if you have any reason to believe that any open wound has become compromised, talk to your doctor about what you can do to fix the situation. It isn’t a bad idea to watch the temperature of the person recovering from surgery. Often times, a fever is the first sign the body gives that something is wrong. By simply taking the temperature of the person recovering every six to twelve hours during the first three or four days after surgery, you can watch the situation very closely and act if need be.
You can expect the breasts to remain sensitive for a few weeks after surgery, but at the six week point things should be basically back to normal. You can expect a full return to intimate behaviour and in most cases, full sensation is retained in the breast and nipples.
Along with surgery, there are many non surgical alternatives that you can explore if the recovery process sounds like something you want to skip. Over a period of months, all natural enhancement can give you similar results to surgery without the cost or pain that is associated with recovery.
