What is the recovery process like for a breast capsulorrhaphy?

Asked By:Thriving679386 in Gagh, Northern Cape, South Africa

I had a breast augmentation about a year ago and since then my implants have bottomed out (I think due to lax skin from previous weight loss). I am getting a revision capsulorrhaphy next week want to find out how the recovery process will be in terms of pain and how long after I can resume normal activity as well as sex. Also, will the skin at the crease of my breasts follow the new contour made internally? What things should I be aware of?
