I'm only 4 days post op so I know it's too soon to tell how my new breasts will look once they dropped and fluffed but I am concerned with the tightness I feel. I go back to work next week and I'm scared that the tightness will prevent me from doing my job. I'm a waitress at a very busy restaurant and the muscle soreness makes it difficult to lift my arms and even get out of bed. How long does this period usually last and is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process?

Answer: Soreness after Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. At four days post op, it is normal to still have discomfort. Pain is different for each person. You may improve significantly over the next week. Or you may have soreness for several weeks. However, due to your profession, you will need to avoid heavy lifting and excessive use of your arms. Follow the guidelines provided to you by your surgeon to avoid any complications.

Answer: Soreness after BA Hello, the tightness is usually much better within about a week after surgery, although of course there is a range of healing. I usually recommend my patients avoid heavy lifting for about 6 weeks postop. Your surgeon can clarify your specific restrictions.
