The recovery time of breast augmentation surgery varies according to factors such as surgical methods, individual differences and postoperative care. Relatively speaking, the recovery period of autologous fat breast augmentation is shorter than that of prosthetic breast augmentation, because autologous fat breast augmentation is less traumatic and less painful, so the recovery is also faster.
The duration of breast augmentation surgery varies depending on many factors, including surgical methods, personal physiological characteristics, postoperative care and lifestyle habits, as follows.
Generally speaking, the effect of surgery with silicone or saline implants can last up to 10 years or more, but it may also need adjustment or repair after 5 to 8 years. The effect of autologous fat transplantation surgery depends on personal fat absorption and surgical skills, and can usually last for several years to 10 years, and sometimes a second surgery is required to maintain the best effect. The choice of surgical method directly affects the durability of the effect. Silicone and saline implants are widely used because of their stability and durability, while autologous fat transplantation reduces the risk of rejection by using one's own tissue. Personal physiological characteristics are also an important factor affecting the effect of surgery. Weight changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding and aging may affect the shape of the breasts, thereby affecting the duration of the surgical effect. Postoperative care is equally important. Wearing a bra correctly, avoiding strenuous exercise and improper massage, etc., can help prolong the maintenance period of the surgical effect. In addition, living habits should not be ignored. Maintaining a healthy diet and proper exercise can help maintain the overall state of the body, thereby indirectly affecting the stability of the breast shape.
In summary, the maintenance time of the effect of breast augmentation surgery is not static, but the result of the combined effect of multiple factors. When choosing surgery, patients should fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of various methods and make the most suitable choice under the guidance of doctors. At the same time, following the doctor's advice after surgery and paying attention to the adjustment of care and living habits are also the key to maintaining the long-term effect of the surgery. If you have any questions or discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
- Recovery process of breast augmentation with implants The recovery period and pain of breast augmentation with implants are closely related to the design of the procedure. For example, breast augmentation with implants behind the pectoralis major muscle is longer than that with implants behind the breast space.
● On the day of surgery: You can drink water 4 hours after surgery and eat 6 hours after surgery (follow the doctor's advice). The pain after surgery is within an acceptable range (if the pain is strong, you can use an analgesic pump). At this time, an elastic bandage will be used to fix the breast. There may be chest tightness. If you feel uncomfortable, please report to the doctor in time.
● Day 1 after surgery: Peak swelling period. You will be arranged to get out of bed, change the dressing, remove the bandage, remove the drainage tube, massage and push the prosthesis, and finally change into a customized sports bra; after changing the dressing, you will be taught some postoperative rehabilitation movements, such as arm climbing and arm swinging exercises, to help them recover faster. So it is no problem to get out of bed and raise your arms on the first day after surgery.

- Wear suitable underwear: to protect the breast augmentation prosthesis and reduce friction and pressure. You should choose soft, comfortable, and steel ring-free underwear, and avoid wearing underwear that is too tight or too loose.
- Massage: Proper massage to promote blood circulation and lymph flow can help reduce swelling and pain, and also reduce the risk of prosthesis displacement. However, excessive massage and strong impact should be avoided.
- Diet: Avoid consuming too much irritating food and drinks, such as coffee, tea, chili, etc., so as not to affect wound healing and the stability of breast augmentation prosthesis.
- Rest: Avoid excessive fatigue and stress so that the body can better recover and adapt to breast augmentation prosthesis.
- Avoid strenuous exercise: so as not to affect the stability of breast augmentation prosthesis. You can choose some gentle exercise methods, such as yoga, Pilates, etc.
