After The Procedure - Recovery

Once the plastic surgery breast enlargement is performed you may experience significant discomfort and you may not be able to fully move your arms for a couple of days. Pain can be controlled with medication. There will be some swelling that will last for 2-3 weeks. A few patients report feeling numbness in the nipple area.

The time it takes to fully recover varies according to where the implants were placed and your past experience with recovering from surgeries. If implants are placed under the muscle, recovery time to all routine activities will be 7-10 days and you can return to active exercise in about a month. The recovery time is quicker if the breast implants are placed above the muscle.

When you get a plastic surgery done you will be asked to get your breast enlargement procedure documented through photographs. Before and after pictures is a part of plastic surgery. The photographs are taken for a number of reasons.

2. The second reason for breast enlargement before and after photographs is because they serve as a document of the presence of preexisting body conditions such as scars, moles, asymmetry and other things. This is done because of the legal implications.
3. Finally photographs are used to help the surgeon plan the operation and are used as a valuable reference material during surgery. It is much easier for a doctor to operate while being able to look and compare patient's body with the clear photograph of pre-operative look.

Through using before and after breast enlargement pictures, doctors are able to demonstrate a wide variety of possible solutions and sizes to future patients that approach them about having the procedure done. These breast enlargement pictures demonstrate potential surgical results. For example, the potential patient has similar features as the patient in the breast enlargement pictures, and their goals for the surgery are also the same than this is a very good way to see what is most likely to happen after they go through a similar procedure.

Sometimes breast enlargement pictures can be created on computer, using a before photo supplied by the interested patient.
