Breast Augmentation
After you’ve completed your breast augmentation in Miami, there’s nothing you need to do but go home, watch Netflix and relax—or is there? Though they’re relatively straightforward, the restrictions you need to follow after your surgery are critical to safety and success. We’ll outline 5 of the most important instructions you’ll have after surgery and explain why these are essential.
5 Restrictions After Breast Augmentation in Miami
Avoid heavy lifting- including children
Sleep on your back, a little elevated
This is also frustrating for some people who are naturally front sleepers. The swelling in your chest increases with gravity so laying down flat all night could make your breasts feel more sore. If you roll onto your front in the first two weeks, pressure on fresh implant pockets will not feel pleasant. We recommend placing firm body pillows alongside you to help prevent accidentally turning.
Don’t stretch
Everyone experiences tension and breast discomfort differently while healing, but it’s generally not advised to reach the arms up over the head or forcibly stretch until you’re healed. Your plastic surgeon may give you the all-clear after the first couple of weeks, but listening to your body and resisting uncomfortable movement could mean keeping your arms down a bit longer. There’s no need to put extra tension on your incisions or stretch the breasts post procedure.
Don’t swim
Don’t take medications or supplements without asking
It might surprise you to know that some natural remedies and herbal supplements can cause a big problem after breast augmentation. Products like Ginseng, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort, Garlic, Omega 3s, and many more, affect how you naturally bleed and clot. It’s tempting to load up on healthy smoothies and handfuls of supplements after surgery to heal well, but we recommend sticking to a whole food, balanced diet and double checking with your plastic surgeon before taking a single vitamin or over the counter pill, just in case.
