Aftercare for breast augmentation

After the operation 3 follow-up checks are necessary, the first of which takes place the very next day. The wound is checked and any wound drains are removed. Swelling and numbness, as well as a slight feeling of pressure, are normal with breast augmentation. However, this subsides after the first few weeks. It can take a few months until the original feeling is restored. After 4 - 8 weeks, however, the traces of the operation should have largely healed. To ensure healing with as few complications as possible, wear a supportive sports bra for 6 weeks.

You should expect to be unable to work for 3 - 4 days. However, this may be longer depending on your job. Sport must be completely avoided for 6 weeks, after which it is possible to return to it easily. Sports that put a lot of strain on the chest muscles, such as horse riding, strength training in the chest area or intensive yoga, should only be resumed after 3 months.

The risks of breast augmentation

Medication intolerances, bruising, wound healing disorders, inflammation, scarring problems or sensitivity disorders are examples of the risks associated with every operation. However, these always depend on the individual health condition of the patient.</p

One specific risk is the formation of capsular fibrosis. This is a natural foreign body reaction. If the tissue layer contracts, the implant is constricted, making the breast feel harder.

In severe cases, corrective surgery is then performed to remove the scar tissue. This procedure is usually covered by health insurance. This is often done in combination with an implant replacement. However, the risk of capsular fibrosis is only around 3%.</p

In addition, an implant may be displaced or twisted, resulting in deformation of the breast, which can lead to corrective surgery.
