First week following Surgery
During the first week after breast augmentation surgery, you will need to take life very easy, and avoid heavy lifting and excessive movements of your arms. Activities can be gradually increased after the first week, within your own comfort level. You will be able to shower 24 hours after your surgery. You should be able to return to your work from one week after your surgery.

For the first few weeks after surgery, you will likely feel that your breasts are "too big", because of the swelling from the surgery. After a few weeks, this swelling settles. You will also have become more accustomed to your new breast size at that time. Some women report that their nipples become over-sensitive or under-sensitive following breast augmentation surgery. These findings are most common during the first few weeks after surgery. They are usually temporary.
