The best way to get out of bed after breast augmentation surgery? Numbness from nipples down?

Question

Today is my day 4 post surgery. 1. What's the best way to get out of bed in the morning or any other time. It feels sore around stitches. 2. Is it normal to have numbness from nipple down? Why is that?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

There is not a single "best way" to get out of bed during the early postoperative time after breast augmentation. The use of the hands and arms usually tend to increase the normal post surgical discomfort.One way to get out of bed after breast augmentation with implants is to put the legs and feet out of the bed, and then with the help of the legs weight, to bed the hips/torso and get out of bed. Anyway, the "best way" is the one that is more comfortable for the patient that will prevent excessive use of the arms.
