When the result after surgery can be assessed, the evaluation criteria

Result after surgery

More and more women are dreaming of improving their shape with the help of a surgical method. Of course, every patient has a lot of questions before trusting the hands of a surgeon. Everyone would like to immediately know how the rehabilitation will go and when it will be possible to return to an active life. Almost everyone worries about whether the implants will take root and how quickly the traces of surgery will disappear. The final result can be assessed only a year after the breast augmentation, when the shape is already fully formed.

The first months after mammoplasty: what happens to the breast

About two to three weeks after the surgery, the breasts remain firm and there is great swelling. This is a natural phenomenon, therefore, the patient only has to follow the regimen prescribed by the doctor during this period. In addition, there will be painful sensations, which can increase or decrease depending on the individual physiology of the person.

It is impossible to evaluate the results of mammoplasty in the first days, as too much edema is formed. Another point: due to the fact that the implants have not taken the right place, the breasts look too raised.

After breast surgery, it is necessary to wear compression underwear for four weeks, which facilitates the recovery process and prevents complications. Even when taking off your special bra for a surgeon’s examination, you shouldn’t expect to see the beautiful breasts you expect. Only after two to three weeks can you see the first result.

Swelling is not the only factor that prevents you from assessing how your breasts look after surgery. There will also be reddish scars and stitches. After observing all the rules for breast care during the recovery period, there are practically no traces of them. By the way. If the seam is slightly visible, it can be removed with a cosmetic resurfacing procedure.

During the course of the recovery period, it will be possible to observe the changes in the breast. Once the mammary glands stop swelling, which usually happens two months after  the surgery, you can already see the first significant results. Your breasts will begin to take on the expected shape and you can wear your normal underwear.

Six months is exactly the period necessary to evaluate the first results after mammoplasty. It will take 6 months for the breasts to fully recover. After this time, a capsule forms around the endoprosthesis, bruises disappear, scars are tightened and barely visible. At this time, the nipples regain sensitivity.

Breast one year after plastic surgery: ideal and expected shape

Complete formation of the mammary glands and final recovery occurs after six to twelve months. The individual characteristics of the organism determine a more precise term. It is important that rehabilitation takes place without unpleasant complications, then in a year you can enjoy the desired result.

Main evaluation criteria:

• breast tissue is completely restored;
• lack of redness, swelling and scars;
• high rate of elasticity and tone;
• there is no need to wear a special bra;
• the desired size and the most natural breast shape.

After a year, you can continue intensive sports, visit the pool and also plan a pregnancy. Many surgeons do not advise to lose weight dramatically since contouring of implants can be provoked. In addition, the skin can stretch a lot. Taking into account the natural age-related changes in the body, after 10 years, repeated plastic surgery for breast augmentation may be required.
