Breast Implants Recovery & Aftercare
Proper recovery and aftercare are essential for achieving the best results from your breast augmentation. Under the guidance of Dr. Carey Nease, the best plastic surgeon for breast implants in Chattanooga Tennessee, you can ensure a smooth healing process and long-lasting outcomes. Here are six key tips to keep in mind:
1
Wear Your Surgical Bra or Garment
A compression garment or surgical bra provides necessary support and minimizes swelling during the healing process.
2
Avoid Heavy Lifting and Strenuous Activities
Refrain from lifting heavy objects or engaging in vigorous physical activities for at least 4-6 weeks to avoid strain on the chest muscles.
3
Sleep on Your Back
Sleeping on your back with your upper body slightly elevated helps reduce swelling and ensures proper implant positioning.
4
Keep the Incisions Clean and Dry
Follow your surgeon’s instructions for cleaning and caring for the incision sites to minimize infection risk and promote healing.
5
Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutrient-Rich Foods
Proper hydration and a balanced diet rich in vitamins and proteins aid in tissue repair and overall recovery.
6
Attend Follow-Up Appointments
Regular visits with your surgeon ensure the healing process is progressing as expected and allow for any concerns to be addressed promptly.

What Are Breast Implants?
Breast implants are flexible, silicone sacs of varying sizes and shapes. They’re either filled with saline (sterile salt water) or a synthetic material called silicone gel. Some implants come pre-filled, while others are filled during the actual breast augmentation operation. At Nease Cosmetic Surgery, we use both saline and silicone implants for our patients.
What is Breast Implant Removal?
Breast implant removal is a surgical procedure performed to remove one or both breast implants from a previous breast reconstruction or augmentation surgery. Scar tissue that forms in the breast when an implant is placed usually remains soft. In those cases, there’s no need for implant removal.
In some cases, the scar tissue hardens and can cause considerable pain and discomfort. In these cases, the implant needs to be removed and, if desired, replaced.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
If you’re unhappy with the size, shape or symmetry of your breasts and you’re a healthy adult with realistic expectations about what is possible, chances are you’re a good candidate for breast augmentation. The breasts should be fully developed and you should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is Breast Augmentation Recovery Like?
During the recovery period, your breasts will be wrapped with an elastic bandage or a support bra to minimize the swelling and help support your breasts during the healing process.
You’ll need to take it easy the first few days, and only increase your activity level according to the doctor’s instructions. You’ll probably have some pain for the first few days, and will likely have prescriptions for both pain medications and antibiotics to prevent any infection.
Swelling and soreness may continue for several weeks following your breast augmentation surgery. For best recovery results, read and closely follow the post-op instructions your plastic surgeon will give you before you leave.
