Second Breast Augmentation Recovery Period

Thank you for your question! This answer will vary amongst each
surgeon, and it is wisest to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. I n
my practice, utilizing the fast track technique after breast
augmentations, women are readily able and doing most things virtually
immediately after this procedure. She is even recommended to go out for
dinner that evening. However, follow your surgeon's instructions for
postoperative care and restrictions, but it is common for most women to
resume many of the preoperative activities and duties within a week.After an implant exchange, such as that you are describing, is usually even easier than a primary, or initial, augmentation procedure.  Since the pocket is already created and there is typically less pocket work done, the pain is usually less.  I would still follow your surgeon's instructions, but a restriction with use of your chest as well as a postoperative garment is often recommended for several weeks.  Best wishes for an excellent result!

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.  With my 'Schwartz Rapid Recuperation' recovery, most of my patients out to dinner the following evening.
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!

Thank you for the question. Assuming that the same breast implant "pockets” are utilized, revisionary breast surgery tends to be associated with minimal recovery time/discomfort, compared to first-time breast augmentation surgery. This is likely because the muscle/tissue stretch (and necessary dissection) has already occurred for the most part.Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
