Hello😊

I'm K, the concierge ✨

We will explain the downtime to ease your concerns and anxiety 💡.

 

I want to get breast implants, but I'm not sure how much downtime I'll have."
This is one of the most common concerns we receive in our counseling sessions.

 

Downtime is a very important factor in deciding on a procedure, whether you have a work or family schedule, or whether people around you will notice. ☝️
We provide a realistic postoperative course of action well in advance and propose a reasonable schedule.

This article provides an easy-to-understand guide to breast augmentation downtime duration, symptoms, and return to work from a staff member's perspective 😎.

 

⭐️ Breast Augmentation by Procedure｜A brief explanation of the differences in downtime

 

Breast augmentation is a simple procedure, but the amount of downtime and speed of recovery varies depending on the procedure.
Here is a brief overview of the features and downtime trends of the three typical breast augmentation procedures we offer.

 

💎Silicon bag breast augmentation

 

Silicon bag breast augmentation is a procedure in which bags are inserted under the breasts or armpits to provide a firm increase in size.

Because in many cases the bag is placed under the muscle,
Although there is a tendency to feel soreness and tension like muscle pain for a few days after surgery, the size change is easy to notice and stable over the long term.

 

Estimated downtime
Intense pain: several days to a week
Internal bleeding and swelling: 1-2 weeks
Return to work (desk work): next day to 5 days later

 

💎 Condense Rich Breast Augmentation (Fat Injection)

 

Condense Rich Breast Augmentation is a procedure in which your own fat is harvested, concentrated, and injected into your breasts.
It is chosen by those who value natural touch and finish.

The downtime for the breasts themselves is relatively light, but the areas where fat is harvested (thighs, abdomen, etc.) may experience muscle soreness.

 

Estimated downtime
Swelling and discomfort in the chest: several days to a week
Pain at fat harvesting site: 1 to 2 weeks
Return to work: next day to 5 days later

 

💎 Hybrid Breast Augmentation

 

Hybrid breast augmentation is a combination of silicone bags + fat injections.
The bags provide firm volume, while fat injections provide line and texture.

Therefore, although downtime is an element of both "silicone bags" and "fat harvesting," it is chosen by those who want to strike a balance between natural appearance and size increase.

 

Estimated downtime
Chest tightness and pain: around 1 week
Discomfort at the fat harvesting site: 1 to 2 weeks
Return to work: Next day to 1 week

 

⭐️What is the downtime after breast augmentation?

 

Downtime for breast augmentation refers to the recovery period after surgery when swelling, pain, internal bleeding, and discomfort settle down.
Although there are differences depending on the method of treatment and the constitution of the patient, knowing the guidelines can greatly reduce anxiety.

 

0Major downtime symptoms

 

Feeling of tension in the chest
Pain like muscle ache
Internal bleeding in the armpit and chest area
Sensation of difficulty moving arms
Discomfort when turning over

 

0Duration of downtime and approximate postoperative course

 

◾️3 days to 1 week
Immediately after the surgery and for about three days afterward, the patient is likely to feel tension and pain.
We prescribe painkillers to help make your life easier.

Internal bleeding may occur from the armpit to the arm, but in most cases it fades naturally within one to two weeks.

 

◾️1 weeks to a month
Daily life can be lived with little or no problems.
Some people return to work in 3 to 5 days if they have a light desk job.

Many of our staff are able to return to work the next day. ☺️❤️

If you don't have a physically active job or work outside the office, "I was able to work harder the next day than I thought I would! We also receive comments from our patients saying, "I worked harder the next day than I thought I would!

 

⭐️ returning to work and fear of being discovered by others

 

Will my workplace ever find out?" We receive this question quite often.
As it turns out, in most cases, it is difficult to be noticed depending on how you dress 👏.

 

Guideline for returning to work
Desk work: Next day to 5 days later
Standing and customer service: around 1 week
Heavy lifting: 2 to 3 weeks later

 

The key to making it less likely to be discovered 💡.
Wear a loose-fitting top 👕.
Avoid excessive posture and movement.

 

What you can do to reduce downtime

Downtime varies greatly with advance preparation and postoperative care.

 

Important post-operative points: ❤️‍🩹

Observe pressure fixation as indicated.
Observe restrictions on bathing and exercise
... take medication without putting up with the pain.

 

⭐Recommended advance preparation ⭐

 

Front-opening tops

It's hard to put on and take off the cover style tops because my chest area is like a big muscle ache 😭💦.

A large front-opening top that can be easily put on and taken off is a comfort.

 

Non-wire bras and nipples

Lilacs should not be tightened 🚫🚫🚫.

A camisole with cups that can be worn lightly or a sports bra/nippleless is the best way to cover up. 🙆‍♀️

Depending on the surgical procedure, wired bras and tight bra tops will not be worn for a month!

 

Unnecessary sheets and bath towels

As with liposuction, there is a possibility of leaching fluid while sleeping!

It's a good idea to have it ready just in case your precious bed gets dirty🌸.

 

 

Stock up on plenty of food so you can spend time at home 🍖🍙🍜✨.

 

 

Please let us know your concerns so we can have an idea first 😌💕.

We will support you to take the first step♪♪♪♪
