Great question ! There is not one exact answer for this question as each physician will have their own post-op procedures depending on the type of augmentation you have. As for my practice, I like the incision to be placed in the armpit and my patients are wrapped with gauze and Velcro wraps for 2-3 days. The wrappings are removed and massage is then instructed to assist the implants to settle. Your plastic surgeon will give you instructions for your particular surgery. Good luck.
Thank you for your question. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. I have patients wear a soft bra after breast augmentation for a few weeks to splint everything, and at that point the scars are generally very stable and we move to normal bras (or none) and long term scar management. Most important is to follow your surgeon's recovery instructions.
