When should I be able to walk my dog after breast augmentation?

bananas114Jun 26, 2016

I'm making arrangements for recovery after breast augmentation and I'd like to know approximately how long after the procedure I'd be able to walk my 15-lb dog. I'm planning on having silicone submuscular, if that affects anything. Thanks!
