Breast Implants

Healing following a procedure in St Louis

Breast implants are one of the most sought after cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States. Implants are placed under the skin of a woman’s breast for many reasons. Whatever it may be, one thing is clear. The healing process is delicate.

Avoid Excessive Physicality

This is a standard no-no in just about all surgical procedures. Excessive force can put stress and strain on both the incisions and the implants, potentially altering the results and delaying recovery.

Wear a Supportive Bra

Stock up on sports bras because you’ll need them. Keeping your implanted breasts as still as possible is crucial and speeds up healing. A non-supportive bra, like excessive force, can create stress and strain.

Sleep on your Back

This needs to happen for at least the first ten days following surgery.  Once again, stress and strain can occur if you lay on your front. Aside from recovery issues, it’ll just plain hurt.
