Many patients after breast augmentation feel good enough to drive even 2-3 days after the procedure is done as long as they do not take any prescription pain medication.

You are pushing it kind of close. If their is a certain benchmark for you to reach I would be hesitant to go through with the surgery. You maybe able to complete the task but your score will be low and you may not be able to complete all tasks.
After breast augmentation surgery, an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas can provide some comfort. Ice, which helps reduce swelling, is best for the first 48 hours after surgery. I don't recommend putting heat on the breasts, although it can be used for discomfort and aches, like a...
