Precautions After Breast Reduction

• After breast augmentation surgery, it is required to wear a corrective bra for 3 months. (During the follow up appointment, this period could be changed by the doctor) 
• During the initial 24-48 hours post-surgery, chest pain may be most intense, gradually subsiding thereafter. Pain and sensations may occur asymmetrically.
• If a drainage tube is used, please ensure the valve remains open and the contents of the bottle is emptied the following day. 
• Soft foods, such as soup, porridge, or soft meals are recommended on the surgery day and the day following surgery.
• Elevating the surgical site above the level of the heart with a pillow can help alleviate swelling and discomfort. Please avoid lying on your side or stomach, and maintaining a flat posture is recommended. Lying on your side or stomach is only recommended 3 to 6 months after surgery.
• Adequate rest is important during the first 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, when pain should subsides entirely. Especially for occupations involving heavy lifting or significant physical activity, it is advisable to rest during the recovery period. Please refrain from raising your arms high or lifting heavy loads for one month post-surgery. Massage is unnecessary after surgery.
• Please avoid workouts like aerobics, swimming, running, and gym activities for 3 months post-surgery, and intense activities for 6 months post-surgery. You can take a walk after the surgery. Depending on the development of chest muscles, animation phenomena (movement of implants when muscles contract and relax) may occur.
• Please avoid sauna, steam rooms, or hot tubs for 4 weeks after surgery. 
• We do not recommend showering until stitch removal is complete. Please limit your movements to prevent water or sweat from getting into the stitches. If you must shower, only wash the parts of your body that do not include the upper body or the area with the incision.
• Please take the prescribed pain killer medication and antibiotics at the scheduled times. If more pain relief is needed, you may purchase and take Tylenol. However, avoid taking aspirin as it can cause bleeding.
• Please avoid workouts like aerobics, swimming, running, and gym activities for 3 months post-surgery. You can take a walk after the surgery. Depending on the development of chest muscles, animation phenomena (movement of implants when muscles contract and relax) may occur.
• It is advisable to refrain from alcohol and smoking for 3 months after surgery. Alcohol can cause inflammation, and smoking can constrict blood vessels and potentially darken the skin.
• Please apply scar ointment provided on the surgery day, after 1 month.
