I'm getting breast augmentation in 3 weeks and the person I had asked to help me to recover backed out. Everyone else is busy for the holidays. Anyway, I have someone for the day of surgery. Can I recover day 2 and beyond on my own? I should mention that I have 2 dogs I have to walk..... And also am getting erbium laser on my face 3 days post-op.

Answer: Some help would be best After the first day you should be fine to take care of the little things. You won't need someone by your side all of the time. You may not walk your dogs however. I think you will need some help, but not constant supervision.

Answer: Can you recover from a breast augmentation alone Recovery alone on postoperative day 2 is not always the wisest decision. Anesthesia medications have not fully dissipated, most likely one would be taking pain medication, and that could affect judgment. Strenuous activity could affect your surgery including bleeding. Chasing a dog that has gotten off a leash could cause problems. You would be assuming some risk should you do that. It is always wise to have someone who can give you a hand when you need it. It is also possible to hire an aide which can help.

Answer: Can you recover from a breast augmentation alone? Although it is likely that you will be okay on your own after day 1-2, I think that you will be better off continuing to look for additional help. You will certainly want to “take it easy” when it comes to care of your dogs. Remember, that it will be also be important to have help for driving back to your follow-up appointments as well. Best wishes.
