What vitamins, creams, pain meds, bras, etc, do you suggest for aftercare?

Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, after breast augmentation usually the first week requires antibiotics and pain meds. This will help with the pain and prevention of any infection that can affect how the scars heal. After this we tend to tell our patients to wear a soft sports bra that zips in the front and no under wire for 4 weeks. Depending if the implants are sitting too high we show our patients how to massage the implants down otherwise it can heal that way. After 3 weeks of scars healed nicely, we recommend you start silicone gel tapes to the area. you should wear sunscreen to protect your scars especially in the summer months.

Your surgeon should go over all the details about what you will need during recovery. Typically you will be prescribed pain medication to help keep you comfortable. Most patients will wear a sports bra or a surgical bra during recovery to help support the healing tissues. Vitamin supplements should be discussed with your surgeon as opinions vary. Common supplements used are arnica and bromelain which help with bruising and swelling.
