Before surgery, talk to your doctor in detail about the operation. Explain your expectations and post-operative goals and be sure what techniques your surgeon will use to provide you with appropriate results. The recovery period after surgery is very important. It is important to follow the instructions given by your surgeon, to take care of the wound and to have regular follow-up checks. You may need to wear a bra for a while after the surgery. Your surgeon will guide you in choosing the appropriate bra. You may need to avoid heavy physical activity for the first few weeks. Your doctor will tell you when you can return back to normal daily activities. Post-operative swelling, bruising and mild pain are normal. But if the pain becomes severe or unbearable, you should contact your doctor immediately.
