BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY (IMPLANTS)
Breast augmentation has been steadily rising in demand worldwide. The majority of breast augmentation patients are absolutely thrilled with their results and have zero regrets—nonetheless, during the recovery period, many patients wonder if they signed up for what they wanted.
(WEEK 1)
Anesthesia can cause nausea and vomiting in some patients, and you may lose your appetite for a few days. Pain medication (analgesics), as well as a reduction in physical activity level can lead to constipation. Bloating and fatigue are also normal after-effects. Typically this lasts for a few days and is nothing to be alarmed about.
It takes time for the breast tissues, muscles and skin to adjust to your implants; until these tissues have healed sufficiently, you can expect to feel some tightness in the chest area, especially if your implants are placed under the muscle or in a dual plane fashion (half under the gland and half under the chest muscle). Postoperative swelling, which peaks about 5 days after surgery, will amplify feelings of chest pressure.

BUYER'S REGRET
During the first few weeks after surgery, one breast may seem bigger than the other ,and one may appear to drop lower than the other. You may even wonder if your surgeon has made an error—chances are the answer is no, and your breasts just need more time to heal. These are all normal occurrences after breast augmentation.
If one were to ask a breast augmentation patient if she’s happy she did it, and you’ll most likely hear, “YES! But there was a period of time in the beginning….” It is easy to forget that recovery has an emotional component, too. Hence, it is actually common for patients to go through a brief period of mild depression after any surgery, breast augmentation included.
The important thing here is to be patient; post-op blues almost always pass after a few weeks, when you’ve returned to your normal routine, post-op swelling and stiffness has subsided, and you’re noticing that your breasts look better every day.
WORRIED THAT YOUR BREASTS LOOK UNNATURALLY HIGH AFTER SURGERY?
Initially, your new breasts will probably appear unnaturally high on the chest and may have a stark “torpedo” shape. It takes time for the breasts to “drop and fluff” or settle into their final position and for scars to fade.
In fact, as a surgeon; I would be worried if the breast implants look near perfect on the operating table. It would be prudent to place them slightly higher to account for the "drop and fluff" that ensues post surgery.
Your body will require time to adjust to your implants; post-op swelling can also contribute to asymmetry, as swelling might go down earlier in one breast than the other. Typically, the 3-month mark is when your breasts will be pretty close to their final shape and appearance, although scars will continue to fade for several more months.
After 12-months, the implants would have "dropped and fluff" and all residual swelling would be subsided giving a natural feeling and appearance. The caveat here is to understand the natural time frame evolution post breast augmentation surgery.
