Breast augmentation while attending college: is a week enough for recovery time?

G
girlybabeSep 29, 2018

After saving up, I want to get a breast augmentation during my spring break next year. I have a week off of school but is this enough time to resume daily school activities when I'm back? When I come back to school I would have to carry a backpack and bike to class every day. Thank you in advance.
