How long does a breast augmentation take and what is the recovery time?

What are the breast augmentation recovery stages?

During the first 3 to 5 days after the surgery you may experience some discomfort and lack of movement ability, meaning basic tasks like driving or exercise will be difficult. It’s important to refrain from such activities until a full recovery is made. It’s also important to avoid alcohol and nicotine consumption during this period. Over the counter medication or even prescribed medication may be recommended to alleviate this potential discomfort.

After the first week and next few weeks after you may continue to experience some discomfort but this will become increasingly more manageable over time. Following approval from a surgeon you will be able to perform light, daily tasks again assuming all is well.

After 2 months you should be approaching full recovery, though this depends on the person and how quickly your body recovers.
