After surgery, when does the feeling of heaviness on chest subside?

Hello,Typically, after breast augmentation surgery the majority of swelling and pain is resolved by two weeks post op. Medication certainly helps during this time to make the patient more comfortable. I recommend that you share your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon so that they can advise you.All the best

Thank you for your question.What you are feeling is quite common. You should start to feel better within a week. Continue to follow your surgeons instructions and contact him or her with any concerns. Best of luck.

Every patient's recovery process is different. But things should improve over the first week. If not, see your surgeon to discuss. My best,

Hello, the recovery process is variable but most people are already starting to notice an improvement in their symptoms within a few days.

Hello there, What you are experiencing is fairly normal for the first 5-7 days.  Most patients start to feel much better after the first week.  Everyone has a different experience, so check with your surgeon if you are concerned about something unusual.. Enjoy your results!

By the end of the first week, most women are not complaining so much about heaviness and many are not requiring much pain medication. Over the next several weeks, the swelling will subside, the tissues will relax, and the implants will settle. Please follow up with your surgeon and discuss any concerns.
