How long does it take to recover from breast augmentation?

A few days: Most women recover from breast augmentation surgery in a few days (2-7 days). It depends on the technique used, what kind of work you do, and your own personal pain tolerance. I recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss this and who could help you determine the best course of treatment for you.

Varies : Answer varies greatly depending on individual and activity referred to. Usually very quick.

1-2 weeks: Most patients return to normal, non-strenuous activity in 1-2 weeks.

3-10 days: 3 days under breast tissue, 7-10 days under the muscle.

Post Breast recovery: Most patients take one week off of work as long as their job description does not require heavy lifting.

Depends: Depends on what you do for a living... Deskwork should be ok 3 days later. Light activity work (filing, driving, etc..) about a week. Physical activity will require approximately 2 weeks. Make sure you tell your surgeons what type of duties you have at work so you know exactly how much time off you will need. It takes approximately 2 - 4 weeks for your implants to 'settle'.

Augmentation: recovery gradual and progressive. The first week is the hardest. By a month you will feel well and by 2 months all is healed. But, a police office may need more time to chase down bad guys. Their life may depend on fast reflexes. Bottom line. Talk with your doctor. Because there is no hard rule.
