Breast Augmentation Postoperative Instructions
Care in the postoperative phase is of utmost importance. You should allow your tissue time to recover and pay close attention to your hydration, nutrition, and sleep patterns to accelerate and facilitate the healing process. As the recovery process varies from person to person, your primary guide should always be the recommendations provided by your doctor.

Key considerations to bear in mind during your rehabilitation process
Please take the medications prescribed by your physician (antibiotics, pain relievers, etc.) regularly after your surgery, strictly adhering to your designated dosage schedule.
Please strictly avoid any alcohol consumption until you have completed your full course of medication.
For your safety and optimal recovery, please refrain from using cigarettes, e-cigarettes, nicotine gum, and any other nicotine-containing products until at least 2 to 4 weeks after your surgery.
You should avoid heavy labor, stress, strenuous activities, sports, sexual intercourse, and swimming for the period recommended by your physician. Sports and other physically demanding activities must be avoided for the next 4 to 6 weeks following your surgery.
If you notice any opening at the incision site, redness, swelling, or fluid accumulation in the lower abdomen after your surgery, please contact the clinic team immediately.
You should avoid swimming pools and the/a sea for 4 weeks until your skin wounds are completely healed and your doctor has given medical clearance. Otherwise, adverse conditions such as infection may occur.
It is advisable to pay close attention to your sleeping position following your surgery. There are several key reasons for this precaution: It is of the utmost importance to avoid placing pressure on the surgical site, as this pressure can cause the sutures to rupture and lead to bleeding. Additionally, in the case of breast augmentation with implants, lying on your side may cause implant displacement. You should keep your breasts as stable and secure as possible. For all these reasons, it is crucial to protect your breasts from any pressure, particularly during the initial phase of your recovery, by sleeping strictly on your back.
The surgical site must be well protected after the procedure. Sudden straining, heavy lifting, or abrupt reflex movements increase intra-abdominal pressure, which can place undue stress on the sutures. For 2.5 to 3 months post-surgery, it is crucial to exercise caution when bending over, avoid lifting heavy objects, and refrain from overexerting the muscles during physical exercise.
Sunlight and other ultraviolet radiation trigger increased pigmentation and discoloration in the wound area. Protection from sun exposure is highly important, especially during the first months of the wound healing process.

Potential side effects during the rehabilitation process
Pain, tenderness, and a feeling of tightness are completely normal after surgery. Additionally, any postoperative discomfort can be effectively managed and relieved with the pain medication prescribed by your physician.
In addition to potential implant-related discomfort, you may also experience pain arising from the breast tissue itself; this is a completely normal part of the recovery process.
Swelling (edema) and bruising may occur starting from the very first day. This bodily response is entirely normal and should not be a cause for concern. It is expected that the bruising will subside within 1 to 2 weeks. Due to the swelling and bruising in the treated areas, a reduction in fatty tissue may not be immediately noticeable initially. While this temporary stage may seem discouraging to patients, it is a clear and positive indicator of a successful healing process.
It is common to experience temporary changes in nipple sensation following your surgery. You may also notice a loss of sensation in the lower portion of the breast. Please be assured that this is a normal part of the healing process, and the numbness is only temporary. Sensation will gradually return to normal over time.
When the bands are removed, it is entirely normal to experience redness and skin flushing around the surgical incision. Over time, the reddened area will gradually return to your natural skin tone. However, should the redness persist and fail to return to your normal skin color, please contact your physician and the clinical support team for guidance.
A feeling of pressure and breathing difficulties are normal after breast implantation. It is also recommended to breathe calmly after breast implant surgery. Particularly deep breathing must be avoided.
During the postoperative phase, some individuals may experience excessive firmness in the treated area due to scar formation. Additional treatment, which may include surgery, could be required. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you experience such a situation.

Scar management during the healing process
Scar treatment should begin 21 days—exactly three weeks—following your surgery and be maintained for at least three months. Visually optimal results are typically achieved when treatment is continued for six months. It is entirely normal for the appearance of the scar to continue maturing for up to a year post-operatively. Please do not feel discouraged or discontinue your care regimen if progress seems gradual during this period. Consistent, diligent scar care and treatment significantly improve the long-term aesthetic and healthy healing of the tissue compared to untreated skin.
Bio-Oil should be applied to cleansed skin and gently massaged into the scar in the morning and evening. Please note that this scar treatment must not be used on open wounds.
After the Bio-Oil has been thoroughly absorbed into the skin in the morning, a silicone ointment is then applied. Most silicone gel creams contain the same active ingredients. Therefore, it is sufficient to ask your pharmacist for a "silicone ointment for scar treatment."
Unlike Bio-Oil, the silicone gel should be applied thinly, similar to an adhesive, and without massaging. The silicone gel formulation protects the incision site and prevents swelling. Consequently, care must be taken to ensure the gel is applied evenly and entirely covers the scar.
In the evening, a silicone sheet should be placed over the Bio-Oil. Silicone gel sheets are reusable and can be washed with soap and water to extend their lifespan for up to two weeks or longer. They work similarly to silicone gels, but are more effective. Silicone sheets are applied directly to the scar as soon as the wound has healed or the sutures have been removed from the incision. Silicone sheet therapy is active 24 hours a day and is therefore significantly more effective than the alternative silicone gel. However, treatment with the cream is considered equally effective if allowed to remain on the scar for 8 to 12 hours a day.
A crucial factor in the success of scar treatment is the condition of the skin. Healthy nutrition is fundamental to healthy skin. Wound healing is significantly accelerated by the intake of zinc and vitamin C supplements.
Since the surgical sutures will dissolve within 6 months, small acne-like wounds may form at these sites as a reaction. This is a completely normal part of the healing process. Scar treatment should be avoided on these open wounds; instead, an antibiotic cream should be applied.
Our clinical team is pleased to assist you in selecting the most appropriate topical treatment or medication.

Important Information Regarding Your Rehabilitation Process
After the surgery, the incision site is closed with Omnistrips – medical tapes – to protect the area. These tapes reduce tension on the suture line and minimize scarring. During showering, the tapes can be removed 2 weeks after the procedure. The showering process helps dissolve the adhesive on the skin, making removal easier and gentler. Please pull on the tapes very carefully. If they do not detach easily, do not force them off. This prevents damage to the delicate skin and ensures the incision remains securely closed.
Regarding post-operative hygiene: If a surgical drain has been placed, you may shower 2 days after its removal. If no drain was required, showering is permitted immediately following your follow-up examination. Additionally, the sterile adhesive tapes are waterproof, protecting your incisions from water. After approximately one week, and no later than 10 days, these tapes can be gently removed while showering.
Patients must refrain from consuming highly salty and processed foods during the healing process. Such consumption increases the risk of edema formation throughout the body. Conversely, patients should significantly increase their fluid intake. While swelling can subside rapidly within the first four weeks, it may take between 6 months and a year to achieve the final, optimal result.
Following your surgery, a dressing is applied around the breasts in the form of a support bra, followed by the placement of a compression corset bra. This medical corset bra should be worn continuously for 4 weeks. If the bra has a front-fastening hook, please ensure you do not open it for 1 month. Specialized compression bras are dynamically engineered to align with the breast structure, anatomy, and ergonomics of the human body. They play a vital role in ensuring your breasts remain correctly positioned while the surrounding tissues adapt and heal. The specialized fibers provide structured support to your breasts as you move your arms and body, effectively minimizing post-operative pain by keeping breast movement within safe, controlled therapeutic limits. As you breathe and move, these specialized fibers gently massage the tissue, promoting optimal circulation and aiding your body's natural healing process. After this initial recovery phase, a supportive sports bra may be worn. The sports bra continues to stabilize the breast tissue, minimizing movement during physical activities to facilitate and accelerate wound healing. Please note that standard underwire, strap, or lace bras should be avoided during the early recovery period, as they can cause pressure pain and potentially compromise your final aesthetic outcome.
Following the procedure, your breasts will regain volume and appear fuller. However, surgery cannot prevent the breasts from naturally sagging again over time. As with any woman, gradual changes in the breasts are to be expected due to the natural effects of gravity and aging.
It is recommended to apply a moisturizer to the treated area after 2 weeks to prevent the skin from drying out. This helps the edema subside more quickly, while also accelerating tissue bonding and the shaping of the breast.
Following your surgery, you can immediately resume your social activities, provided that you carefully follow your physician's instructions. As a general precaution, it is highly recommended to act mindfully during the first 3 months and avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous movements during physical activities.
The surgical scars will gradually fade over a period of 6 months to 2 years, eventually blending in with your natural skin tone.
The postoperative dressing will be applied at the discretion of your surgeon. If applicable, any non-absorbable sutures will be removed; these typically remain on the areola for 7 to 10 days, while simple sutures remain for up to 20 days. Since the sutures used during your procedure are generally hidden cosmetic sutures, they do not require removal.
During the procedure, a surgical drain will be placed to prevent any accumulation of blood in the surgical site, ensuring optimal sterility is maintained. This drain is typically removed approximately 13 days following the liposuction; however, this schedule may vary based on your surgeon's specific clinical assessment. Patients are kindly requested to empty the drain daily in the morning, with the exception of the day of your scheduled follow-up appointment.
