Put Away The Skimpy Holiday Clothes

You will likely be swollen or even a little bruised for roughly two weeks so while this may not be an ideal time to wear a slip dress, sultry sweaters and cozy knits are perfect to keep your chest comfy and covered up.

Everyone heals differently so depending on your existing tissue, muscles, size of implants and your body’s inflammatory process, you can expect to see swelling for two weeks and firmness or high-riding breasts for another month or two. Choosing a highly skilled surgeon who specializes in BA is the first step to a quicker recovery, however, even the most skilled surgeon warns of some swelling and bruising after surgery.

If you plan a surgical procedure before the holidays, you don’t necessarily need to sit everything out, but if usual festive prep involves plenty of parties or shopping frenzies, you’ll need to make some adjustments. Count on staying home and using your arms only minimally for the first week post-procedure.

You’ll be able to walk around and socialize, but you must avoid the gym, aerobic exercise or strenuous activity like lifting or cleaning. This will be a great time to hire some assistance around the home and for extra childcare if you need it. Aside from exciting body improvements, pampering yourself with the extra help and relaxation makes a great self-care gift.

As long as your Holiday activities aren’t very strenuous, you can participate as much as you feel up to it but try to schedule lots of time for lounging, snuggling up indoors, catching up on movies, talking with friends or reading. You’ll undoubtedly be able to start shopping for a new, figure-flattering wardrobe in the New Year and will definitely be beach ready within a couple of months.
