What is the healing time for implant removal with and without partial thin capsule removal of implants been in less than 12 months and breast lift surgery completed at the same time? Real healing time and pain after the 6 weeks recovery mark? Do you require drains for this? I was an A cup to D cup high profile subglandular. How long to sleep on back for recovery ? How long back to strenuous exercise lifting arm and chest weights? How long for breasts to settle and final shape ?
Answer: What is the healing time for a breast lift and implant removal? Hello @BAquestions23, thank you for your question. The healing time for a breast lift and implant removal depends on the individual's recovery process and surgical technique. Generally speaking, it can take up to a year to fully recover from this type of surgery. This is due to the need for tissue tightening, scar maturation and overall healing of the area. Regarding pain after the 6 week recovery mark, my patients report minimal sensations or discomfort at this stage as they're starting their total healing period. In general, drains can be placed on the patient for 3 to 5 days after surgery. Keep in mind that it's important to have a total capsulectomy even if the capsules are thin to avoid future inflammatory processes. To sleep on back and to exercise excessively depends on the patient's healing process and need to be consult with the doctor performing surgery. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Recovery Typically after breast implant removal with lift patients can return to a non strenuous occupation after 7-10 days. The use of drains varies by surgeon and patient need. Pain is often well managed with narcotic pain medications for the first few days and then over the counter medication as needed from there. Generally patients can return to exercise by six weeks post op but must first be cleared by their surgeon. Your surgeon will provide specific information based on your surgical plan and how you progress through recovery.

Answer: Healing Complete healing time, like for most surgeries, is one year. However, most are back to full activities by 6 weeks. The final shape, usually between 3-6 months, may take longer to let the swelling from surgery subside. I use drains to decrease the risk of seroma formation. You may need to sleep on your back 3-4 weeks, and then go to sides.
