AFTER YOUR SURGERY

You're likely to feel tired and sore for a few days following your surgery, but you'll be up and about in 24 - 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by painkillers prescribed by your doctor.

Within several days, the gauze dressings, if you have them, will be removed. You will wear a crop top or sports bra from the time of surgery. You may experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about two weeks, but this will subside as bruising fades.

Any stitches that do not dissolve will be removed in 7 - 10 days time, but the swelling in your breasts may take three to five weeks to disappear.

You will be given very comprehensive pre and post operative instructions and I or my staff are available to talk to you should you have any concerns.
