I, Dr. Lyor, have drawn up these instructions to help you in your journey to wellbeing after the breast lift surgery. Heeding these directives shall make the healing process go smoothly.

Dressings and Medications

Waterproof dressings are applied, which you are allowed to keep for a week. Dressings will get to be replaced weekly for the next three weeks to actively protect wounds from the garment’s friction. The Doctor has already prescribed any relevant drugs for you and hence, make sure to take them properly.

Follow-up Appointments

At the scheduled post-operative visits every 1 week, 3 weeks, 4 months, and 12 months will be confirmed in the scheduler. Nevertheless, these appointments may be rescheduled in accordance with your new requirements and needs of the doctors.

Time Off Work

The majority of patients, especially those in usually low-demand jobs, can be back at work after the first week. Sometimes your work is truck up and in that case weightlifting can be an issue. Fitness at the basic level can lose its levels owing to the no reality effect of this.

Compression Garments

First, you must wear compression garments specifically designed by our experts during the 4 weeks of recovery. Then for the next 4 weeks, you may switch to a sports bra. Then, after the said time, you may proceed with taking underwires back.

Bathing

Use a waterproof dressing and fastening skin glue protects the wound, thus, you can even shower from the beginning. By that, I mean the dry and healed state of the cuts is the moment it can happen, which usually takes 4 weeks.

Beach and Swimming

It will be possible to engage in beach activities or swimming once all wounds go dry and as a result, the overall healing process takes around 4 weeks.

Sleeping Position

I suggest that you sleep lying on your back for around the 4 weeks immediately following the surgery to avoid putting pressure on your breasts.

Mobility and Driving

There is assured movement right after the surgery, yet the carefulness is the key. Therefore, you can start driving in one week. Cover the seat belt with a towel, as sometimes seat belts may cause discomfort to some patients.
