After your breast lift surgery in Hawaii, small bandages are secured over your incisions. You will be placed in a surgical bra immediately following your procedure. It is necessary to wear this bra day and night (removing only for bathing) for up to four weeks or until you see your Hawaii plastic surgeon at your first postoperative visit. You will receive specific instructions to follow during your recovery, including rest and sleeping positions, raising your arms, bathing and showering techniques.

Recovery after Hawaii Breast Enhancement

When you "awaken" after your Hawaii breast surgery, you will experience some discomfort for a few hours when the anesthesia wears off. Your cosmetic surgeon will give you medication to relieve any discomfort. Most women require very little pain medication after the first 24 hours. Your breasts may be swollen and bruised for approximately one to two weeks. Please note that the loss of elasticity that caused the original sagging of the breast can recur. Occasionally women lose part of their improvement over variable periods of time.

Rarely, a woman will request or require another Hawaii breast surgery to lift the breasts again. The vast majority of women maintain their enhanced, rounder and more youthful shaped breasts. Be sure to address any questions or concerns to your Hawaii plastic surgeon immediately. Your health and happiness are the most important considerations thoughout the surgical process.
