I plan to get my surgery done in late July. I want to go to a festival late September. Will the healing be through with by then? I know it takes over a year to see your finale results but will I be able to go party in a desert for 4 days, 2 months post surgery?
Answer: Healing time for a breast augmentation with breast lift Hi ChildofLove,Thanks for you question. It certainly is enough time to heal. Usually, I tell patients that the scar strength is 80% at 6 weeks which is as strong as the scar will ever get. At that point, there are no restrictions. This is certainly within your two month time window. Always discuss this with your surgeon, remember that some lifts will heal differently if more is necessary to get your desired outcome. Good Luck!

Answer: Healing Process for Breast Augmentation with Lift Augmentation Mastopexy is an outpatient procedure under intravenous sedation and local or general anesthesia. The patient will go home in a bra or with only light dressings over the incision lines. Sutures are dissolvable but an ending knot, if present is removed within 1-2 weeks. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Light activity may be started 7-10 days after surgery. If your work keeps you sedentary, you may return whenever you feel up to it. If your work is strenuous, wait until your work activity does not cause any superficial pain. Do not begin light aerobic exercise for 3 weeks and strenuous exercise for at least 6 weeks. Let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Further instructions are provided prior your release. It is always recommend to call and see your surgeon to discuss your concerns on #recovery and #healing.

Answer: Healing after breast surgery You should be quite well healed up by six weeks and be able to participate in any activities without having to hold back. You will likely be a bit sore at this point, but you won't have to worry about compromising your results.
