Preparing for Your Breast Augmentation Recovery

Preparing for your breast augmentation can be an overwhelming time when you don’t know what to expect. At Azouz Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, we want to make sure you are completely prepared for surgery, as well as the recovery time afterwards. Check out the three tips below that will help put your mind at ease for your breast augmentation downtime.

1. Create a Stress-free Environment for Recovery. While recovering, you won’t feel like doing laundry or worrying about dirty dishes, so make sure to get your chores taken care of ahead of time. Taking the time to relax and put as little stress on your body as possible, especially for the first few days, is vital for a recovery without complications. Don’t be afraid to light a few candles, open a book, and really take the time to relax and let your body do the rest.
2. Plan Your Meals Ahead of Time. Stock up on easy-to-cook foods that require minimal effort in the kitchen or prepare your meals and freeze them ahead of time for easy preparation. You shouldn’t have to spend hours in the kitchen during recovery, so prepping your meals ahead of time will reduce significant stress.
3. Bring Loose Clothing. As you wake from surgery and get ready to leave, pulling a tight shirt over your head will sound anything but pleasing. Be sure to bring a loose fitting zip up or button up shirt that is easy to put on. This will allow for comfort as well as be less strenuous on your body.
