Breast Augmentation Recovery Timeline
The first question people ask before surgery is “how fast can I heal?”, And this is because people want to have a surgery and get back to their daily tasks quickly in this fast-paced world, so how fast can you heal after breast augmentation? Here are the most common things women suffer after a breast augmentation.
- When Will The Pain Be Gone?
The pain is different for everyone and can be made severe due to the size of your implants and how it’s placed, the bigger the implant, the more pain you should expect, it takes just 3 days for the pain to reduce for most people, but this process may take a little longer (a week) for others.
- Swelling
Swelling or tightness is common so do not panic because the swelling starts to reduce after two weeks if over-the-muscle implant placement is what you have undergone, but it takes four weeks for the swelling to reduce in patients that undergo under-the-muscle implant placement.
- Nipple Sensitivity & Numbness
Nerves are either injured or stretched out during and after a breast augmentation, and this causes nipple sensitivity and or numbness, nipple sensitivity returns to normal after five weeks – 3 months while numbness should go away in a maximum time of 6 – 12months.
