Drainage tubes: Depending on the surgeon\u2019s preferences and experience, drainage tubes may be used to reduce the risk of fluid build -up around the implant to prevent a capsule from forming. Dr Economou will not use them in breast augmentation surgery – for longer than necessary because they can introduce bacteria.<\/p>\n
Extended recovery time: After 24 hours, you will be able to resume your everyday activities, and return to work within three to seven days. But the swelling and mild discomfort will remain for some weeks, and your activities will be restricted. For example, you won\u2019t be able to sleep on your stomach or exercise vigorously for several weeks.<\/p>\n

Loose clothing:\u00a0Loose tops, zippered sweat shirts, and button-up blouses are recommended for your post-surgical wardrobe. However, any item of clothing that you can put on and take off without raising your arms or making an exaggerated movement is preferred. You will have a postoperative garment or sports bra that zips at the front to provide your new breasts with support.<\/p>\n
No alcohol:\u00a0Abstain from drinking for at least two weeks after your breast augmentation in Cyprus, to minimize the risk of bleeding and promote healing of your wounds.<\/p>\n
Showering difficulty: Lifting your arms to wash your hair, bending down to wash your feet, and reaching to wash your back must be avoided during your initial recovery period. With that mindset, you may want to stock up on dry shampoo or have a close friend or your caretaker help you with bathing. You\u2019ll likely be restricted to sponge baths until your surgeon gives the green light to step into the shower. When showering, it is important to face away from the water spray and carefully dry incisions if they get wet.<\/p>\n
Light exercise:\u00a0You can forget the gym for a few weeks after your breast augmentation in Limassol. Lifting arms above your head and objects heavier than five pounds is generally not allowed for two weeks. However, general movement is encouraged to promote circulation.<\/p>\n
New bras:\u00a0After your surgery, you will have to wait four to six weeks until you can trade the sports bra for new lingerie. In the meantime, make sure your sports bras provide sufficient support and do not rub your incisions.<\/p>\n
Breast Augmentation Recovery Breast Augmentation and swelling: What you see immediately after your breast augmentation is not what you will end up with — swelling will make your breasts appear much larger than expected and be raised higher for several weeks or months until they fall into place.
