Implant exchange with fat grafting?

Question

How is recovery? Will I have to take off 2 weeks from work? Will fat grafting help asymmetry and upperpole fullness? Switching from moderate to HP!

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

You may feel sore and tired during the first 48 to 72 hours following surgery. During these first few days, you may engage in light activities, but must refrain from lifting or raising  your arms above your head.Swelling and bruising will subside during the first week after surgery and can be managed by pain medication. The initial surgical tapes will be removed a few weeks after surgery during a post operative visit. Breast #revision patients can typically return to a work a few days after surgery (only a light workload during the first two weeks) and showers are permitted on post op day #3 if there are no drains.Scars will progressively fade throughout the first year following surgery and products may be applied a few weeks later but only with your surgeon's permission.

Depending upon how much work will be needed will determine how much post-op discomfort you might have.
