The recovery period after breast revision surgery or implant removal will vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s individual healing process. Generally, patients can expect to experience some degree of swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days following the surgery.
Patients will need to wear a supportive garment for a period of time to help reduce swelling and promote proper healing, and some may require use of a drain. It is essential to follow all of Dr. Xu’s post-operative instructions carefully, including any restrictions on physical activity and the use of pain medications.
