What's the Downtime for Breast Implant Removal and Lift?
I am 54 and have had my Saline Breast Implants for 14 years. I want to remove them. I think I need a Breast Lift because I've gained weight. What's the down time with doing this?

Recovery after breast implant removal and breast lift
It surprises most patients that recovery after a breast lift is easier than after breast augmentation. Recovery time for simply removing an implant is quite quick, patients are able to drive a car and return to work in 1-2 days. If a breast lift is performed at the same time, the recovery time is still quite quick, may be 2-3 days for some mild activities. Of course returning to the gym should be postponed for 7-10 days.

Breast Lifting
Dear Tryingsohard
Recovery from surgery is quite variable from surgeon to surgeon and patient to patient. With optimal nutrition and supplements as well as good pain control- we have our patients back to their normal activities in 24 to 48 hours. Your energy level may not be completely normal for one week.
With Warm Regards,
Trevor M Born MD
