Will I manage to recover from my breast augmentation alone? Any tips?

I appreciate your question.  
Typically, my guideline is, the first week is the hardest. By the second week you feel better, at four weeks you feel 100% and at six weeks you can go back to complete normal routines and exercising.  
Four days after surgery, I would be careful as you are still at risk for bleeding. If you are taking any pain medication, I would not drink alcohol.  With my 'Schwartz Rapid Recuperation' recovery, most of my patients are out to dinner the following evening.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. 
  
Best of luck!

Hello Ittybittytittyjozigirl,
I understand your concerns. Plastic surgeons have different pre and post-operative protocols to procure patients safety and achieve optimal results. I typically instruct my patients to arrange for a responsible adult to drive them to the surgical facility and take them home after breast augmentation surgery. This person (family member, friend, nurse practitioner or caregiver) should be available to stay with the patient for at least the first night following surgery. Under no circumstance will patients be permitted to go home alone or stay home without another adult present. This is important because of the danger of falling and patients may lose the concept of time for the day and overmedicate themselves, as a result. I would recommend you start walking as soon as possible, as this helps to reduce swelling and lowers the chance of blood clots. Walk as much as you can around the house with assistance from an adult. Some other recommendations that could make your breast augmentation healing period shorter and easier are the following: 1) Before surgery, stock your refrigerator with high-protein, low-sodium foods, including premade meals, fresh fruits and vegetables, and lots of caffeine-free beverages and water. Drink plenty fluids (water is the best) and avoid food and drinks containing salt during your recovery, as sodium will keep you swollen. 2) As you heal, your arms will have a limited range of motion, so store all the supplies you’ll need during recovery where they are easily accessible (at counter level, not in overhead or very low cabinets). 3) Stockpile movies or prerecorded programs, or novels and magazines. If possible, have a speakerphone by your bed and a remote control for the TV. 4) Establish a no-fail support system for the full recovery period indicated by your plastic surgeon. You must not lift, drive, or do laundry and cleaning for the first two weeks. 5) Rest and sleep on your back continuously in an inclined position (over 45 degrees angle) for the initial post-operative days or while significant swelling remains. You can achieve elevation with wedge pillows with an incline design or by sleeping in a recliner chair. 6) Decide what you will wear for the first few days; pick items that open in the front. Wear slip-on shoes so you don’t have to bend. Since every case is different, consult with your plastic surgeon about your specific needs and concerns. Best wishes! Dr. De La Cruz.
