In general, how many days after a breast augmentation do you need someone taking care of you? I plan to have someone look after me the day of surgery and 3-4 days after.
Answer: Recovery after breast augmentation Hi, That’s a great question, as it’s important to have a plan set up for recovery prior to any cosmetic procedure. After breast augmentation surgery, your breasts will be wrapped in gauze dressing and an elastic bandage for support as they heal. You will be allowed to go home after a few hours but it is recommended to have reduced-activity and to not perform any strenuous activities for at least a few days. If you have someone to help you and support you for 1 to 2 days post surgery that is great. You will most likely experience soreness and swelling for a few weeks as well. As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s best to consult with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon in your area to understand all parts of the procedure before your surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: How many days after breast augmentation do you need someone to take care of you? You will want someone with you the first 24 hours to make sure you are getting around ok. After that, it typically depends on the patient and the technique used for your breast augmentation. At my practice, we offer a 24 hour recovery breast augmentation so our patients typically drive themselves to their follow up appointment the next day. Since every operating surgeon's technique may be different, best to ask your surgeon his or her recommendations. Good luck!
