The recovery process for a breast augmentation is a lot different from that of the preparation process. When you are preparing, there were many things that you were able to do in order to change the course of events. During the recovery process, however, your body will do most of the work by itself, provided that you aren't expecting everything to quickly happen and also provided that you do not tamper with the body's "autopilot." If you understand what the expect, what's normal, and a few of the reasons behind the do's and don'ts, you will make the recovery process much smoother.

The recovery process will be a team effort and will depend mostly on two key factors. What the surgeon does during surgery and how well you are able to follow the instructions provided by your surgeon after the surgery. The better your cosmetic surgeon performs, the less bleeding during the surgery, and the less trauma to your tissues. Also, the better you are able to follow your cosmetic surgeon's instructions following the breast augmentation, the faster you will be able to recover.

You may wonder, "Is recovery similar for each patient?" The answer to this question will vary from surgeon to surgeon and from patient to patient. If you are able to understand that some of the reasons for variance in recovery, the entire process will likely be much more simple.

Your breast tissues, and your entire body are different from any other woman's. If your breast skin is very tight, you will require more surgical manipulation. This will lead to a higher degree of tenderness and tightness following your operation. Every woman has some tightness and tenderness, but the degree will vary according to what is required for your specific tissues. In general, if you've previously had children, your tissues will have been stretched and you'll feel much less tightness for a shorter amount of time than someone who has never been pregnant. If your skin is very tight and has not been stretched due to pregnancy, you will have a tighter feeling for a longer period of time.

Some patients will be less tolerant of discomfort than others. Some patients will be better able to start moving after the operation even if they are experiencing much discomfort. Some patients will be able to follow instructions much better than others. Your individual motivations, ability to follow instructions, and pain tolerance will affect your recovery. If you adopt a positive attitude, follow your surgeon's instructions, and get moving early, you will get well much faster.
