My surgery is dated the 15th of may and i have a potentially big night out on the 2nd of June, just want to know what everyone's thoughts are on going out 2.5 weeks after surgery?
Answer: Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision I appreciate your question.Typically, my guideline is, the first week is the hardest. By the second week you feel better, at four weeks you feel 100% and at six weeks you can go back to complete normal routines and exercising. Four days after surgery, I would be careful as you are still at risk for bleeding. If you are taking any pain medication, I would not drink alcohol. Please discuss with your surgeon.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. SchwartzBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon#RealSelf100Surgeon#RealSelfCORESurgeon

Answer: How long after breast augmentation surgery could you go on a night out? Thank you for the question. Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific occupation/activities. He/she knows exactly what was done, how you are progressing (every patient has a different experience after breast surgery), whether or not you have experienced any complications or setbacks, and exactly what type of activities you wish to return to. A period of bed rest is not necessary after breast augmentation surgery. Most patients are "over the hump" of most discomfort somewhere between two and four days after the procedure. It is during these initial days that patients benefit from the most help at home, rest, and the use of pain medication and muscle relaxants. Careful attention to good hydration/nutrition, anti nausea measures (if needed), and working towards return of normal bowel movements are important considerations during this time period. On average, I ask patients to take off 5 days to 1 week after breast augmentation surgery (desk job). For some professions, I may suggest a going back to work with a lighter workload (or in your case, having someone else do the lifting etc.. that would involve the pectoralis muscle). Ideally, I ask patients not to lift anything heavy or do things ( like pulling/pushing) that contract the pectoralis musle for at least 3 weeks. Patients are able to return to running and heavier lifting 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. I ask my patients to stay away from "pectorals major" activity such as push-ups and bench press for several months. Most of my patients feel comfortable lifting 10 pounds, using good body mechanics (elbows by their sides and using legs…) after the first week post. This is the period of time I ask patients with children to have a lot of help around them. Ultimately, it will be important for you to “listen to your body”, apply common sense, and return to activities/exercises in a gradual fashion. Best wishes.

Answer: Going to party after breasts augmentation Dear O, Congratulation on your upcoming breasts augmentation surgery, which is , probably, one of the best investment in yourself. You should discuss that issue with your surgeon, because different doctors have different policy about post operative activity. However, I can tell you that in my practice, after breasts augmentation surgery, patients are instructed to start doing implants displacement massage on the third post operative day. They are prevented from lifting , exercise and other physical activities for 2 weeks, though they can conduct light duty type of activity like desk work etc. After the initial 2 weeks, they can, gradually, increase their physical activity over the following two weeks and resume normal activity without limitation after one month. So, as you can see, your big night is secure. Just be careful and do not do too much. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: How long after breast augmentation surgery could you go out on a night out? Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your upcoming surgery. At 2.5 weeks you should be fine to go out but will still need to be careful with any physical contact, like hugging. Hope this helps.
