Within a day or two after surgery, you should be up and around.  Most of the discomfort that you feel can be controlled with medication prescribed by your plastic surgeon.

      Although everyone heals at a different rate, you can expect that your recovery will follow this general time line:

• you’ll be permitted to shower
• your stitches will be removed (unless dissolving sutures were used)
• you may feel able to return to nonstrenuous work
• you can resume sexual relations (as long as the breasts are treated gently)

After several weeks

• most of the swelling will subside and you’ll start to see your final result
• you may discontinue wearing the support bra
• you may resume vigorous exercise and arm movements
