Surgery patients can expect to experience some discomfort. It's generally recommended that patients take prescription pain medication to help control this discomfort. The breasts will be bandaged for the first two or three days, after which a support bra or sports bra should be worn for about four weeks. Patients should avoid wearing push-up or underwire bras during this time. Daily breast massage is recommended during recovery. Though the breasts will appear unusually high in the first few weeks after surgery they will eventually settle into place once the swelling has resolved. Bruising and swelling can occur, and will usually resolve within two to three weeks.
All of Dr.Polynice's sutures are internal and dissolve on their own. There are never any sutures to remove which makes for a nicer scar. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a few days, though strenuous physical activity and exercise should be avoided for four weeks.
