If breast augmentation surgery is something you’ve been thinking about for a while, then now is the perfect time to go for it. Lockdown means you have no choice but to stay at home and recover. What do you need to do to make sure you recover as quickly and effectively as possible?
You will likely get some paperwork from your clinic to help guide you through this time. But here are some helpful tips to get you through.
Make sure you get enough sleep
Sleep is vital for your recovery; it is the key to a healthy immune system which will help to get you up and about quicker.
Sleeping slightly propped up and on your back will help to reduce the swelling and enhance your circulation therefore speeding up your recovery. Cutting back on sleep inhibitors like caffeine and sugar, along with limiting your screen time will also help you get your beauty sleep.
Change your eating habits
Immediately after your surgery lifting things up is painful and not recommended. It is worth buying smaller cartons of milk and juice so you’re not lifting up too much. Stocking up on healthy snack foods is also a good idea.
Buying things like cashews, almonds, and pine nuts, which help with healing skin tissue. Seeds such as pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds also help with tissue regeneration. With the proper care, your breast augmentation scar will fade and become barely viable.
Eating healthier foods will also help you feel better rather than unhealthy foods that can stick in your stomach and make you feel worse. Eating little and often is also a good way to avoid feeling too full and avoiding heartburn.
Washing and dressing
Your surgeon will have told you how long you need to keep your dressing dry for and whether your dressing is waterproof. However, once you can shower, investing in a shower stool will prevent you from having to stand for too long. Once you can shower, avoid highly perfumed shower gels and moisturisers around your scars. Stick to more gentle creams and washes.
To start with you should not be wearing a wired bra, it is recommended wearing a soft sports bra that is comfy and supportive is best. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothes that are comfy and easy to slip in and out of is recommended. Keeping these clothes within reach, rather than tucked away in drawers will stop you from having to search through drawers and wardrobes.
Following these tips will help you to get back to fighting fit as soon as possible.
