Breast augmentation is common in the summer months. Patients often ask me how soon they can go back to exercise following surgery as well as what they will look like shortly after surgery. For example patients often ask, "How much bruising and swelling will I have?"
Patients should expect "some" swelling post-operatively as well as "some" to "minimal" bruising. If patients can limit the amount of movement and exercise in the first two weeks post-operatively, they have a better chance of achieving an optimal result.
Once patients are outside of the two week window without complications such as hematomas, I find that they have a better chance for an optimal aesthetic result in the long-run.
