Recovering from Connecticut Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Recovery

After a Connecticut Breast Lift surgery at our Westport, surgery facility, 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 for bathing) for up to four weeks or until you see your 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.

When you "awaken" after your procedure, you will experience some discomfort for a few hours when the anesthesia wears off.Your Board Certified Connecticut Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Singer, 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-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 another procedure 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 surgeon immediately at our Connecticut medical offices. Your health and happiness are the most important considerations any time.
