Surgery is only the first step towards fuller and more beautiful breasts. Following your breast enhancement surgery, the recovery period is a crucial time during which your body heals and your new breast implants settle into their proper position and shape.

Following Breast Implant surgery you can:

Drink alcoholic beverages only after you have stopped taking your pain medications.
Sleep on your back.
Lift your arm up to the shoulder level during the first 2 weeks.

Get your wounds wet for the first 2 – 5 days after surgery.
