You're likely to feel tired and sore for a few days following your surgery, but you'll be up and about in 24 - 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by painkillers cprescribed by your doctor.

Within several days, the gauze dressings, if you have them, will be removed. You will wear a surgical sports bra from the time of surgery. You may experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about two weeks, but this will subside as bruising fades.

Any stitches that do not dissolve will be removed in 7 - 10 days time, but the swelling in your breasts may take three to five weeks to disappear.

You will be given very comprehensive pre and post operative instructions and my staff or I are available to talk to you should you have any concerns.
