Intimate life after mammoplasty. Is it possible to have sex after mammoplasty?

To my great joy, my call to write was heard, but it turned out that there is a topic that the author cannot post on his own behalf for personal reasons. Therefore, I am posting her post on my own behalf:

It is clear that cancer patients, like in the USSR, do not have sex, but instead of being imbued with a moment of grief and self-pity, I immediately began to count how many months I still had to walk around with 2 breasts and think how effectively and excitingly I would spend this time in bed with husband. The breasts were beautiful. Size 3, but I decided for myself that I would have a mastectomy as the doctors advised me.

My husband did not share my enthusiasm and as soon as I became bald, he refused to fulfill his marital duty, my ironclad argument that he was also bald and nothing worked. The reminder of the upcoming operation immediately plunged him into a stupor and nullified all my erotic attempts. After suffering a little, I fell behind him, especially since 6 courses of red chemotherapy turned me into exactly what he was waiting for, a green, nauseous woman who doesn’t really need sex. Then there was surgery, radiation, and now my 7th month of abstinence began. My husband continues to prevaricate under various pretexts, but I sit and think what can be changed. He is an impressionable person, I don’t even count on “putting his hand on the seam” as Anya wrote, everything will happen in a bra and most likely even in a T-shirt, but so far I haven’t been able to catch him even like that. The problem is in his head - he perceives me as terminally ill and cannot change this attitude. I lead a fairly active lifestyle, I work, drive, run a household, and I don’t see any reason to look at me with sad eyes and look for signs of imminent death! I haven’t decided yet about reconstruction, in any case I have to wait another 2 years, my husband is 35 and why such a marriage out of pity?

Dear accomplices, we need yours useful advice and courage to discuss this topic!

Tatyana (32 years old, Odintsovo), 05/30/2017

Good afternoon, Maxim. It's my birthday soon, so I want to give myself a gift in the form of breast augmentation. It is important to note that I want to get breasts done in the summer, and during this period I begin to have an allergy to pollen flowering plants. I can’t say that my condition is becoming critical, but I feel very bad. Is it possible to have breast augmentation during this period? What pills to take during rehabilitation. Thanks for the answer. Tanya.

Good afternoon, Tatyana. I do not recommend breast augmentation surgery during an allergy flare-up. It is worth waiting until there is no allergy to carry out surgical intervention. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Irina (26 years old, Korolev), 05/27/2017

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I am planning to enlarge my breasts, but... this moment I am also feeding my daughter (breastfeeding). Tell me, after what period can enlargement surgery be performed? Irina

Good afternoon, Irina. Breast augmentation surgery can only be performed six months after last day lactation. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Liliya (25 years old, Moscow), 05/25/2017

Good morning! It so happened that by nature I have very small breasts. I'm worried about surgery. I'm afraid there will be very visible scars. Traces from the operation will remain. Perhaps you can recommend how else you can enlarge your breasts without implants? Are there recommended injections? Best regards, Lilya.

Hello, Lilia! At the moment, I consider the only acceptable method of breast augmentation to be plastic surgery using implants. After the operation, traces remain minimal, and post-operative scars are difficult to see. Do not worry, as the result after this operation will certainly pleasantly surprise you. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Kristina (27 years old, Moscow), 05/24/2017

Good afternoon, Maxim Alexandrovich. My friend had her breasts done by you, and now I want to have my breasts enlarged, because after pregnancy I am not at all happy with their shape. Tell me, what forms are there? My friend chose the round shape of the implants, but for my taste round looks unnatural. What advice could you give in this matter?

Good afternoon There are enough implants to choose the shape that suits you. The shape can be: anatomical, spherical, teardrop-shaped and round. I can only recommend a particular form of implant after I have seen your breasts and their condition after pregnancy. I suggest you sign up for an in-person consultation. Sincerely, plastic surgeon Maxim Osin!

Olga (25 years old, Moscow), 03/15/2017

I live in another city. How many days should I set aside for breast augmentation surgery? Is it possible to get tested in your city and come only for the operation?

It's possible. First you need to choose the day of the operation. We send you a list of tests and you take them in advance in your city. On the eve of the operation, you must come for a consultation, at which the doctor will select implants for you, taking into account your wishes and anatomical features. After the operation, you are in the hospital for a day, then you are discharged and you come back to have the stitches removed in 3-4 days. And the doctor releases you. That is, you will need 4-5 days for the trip.

Olga (28 years old, Moscow), December 18, 2016

Hello? Maksim. I want to enlarge my breasts. How can it be if I have stretch marks on my chest??

Good afternoon The presence of stretch marks does not affect the operation. Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove stretch marks. With the help of cosmetic treatments they can be made less noticeable.

Anastasia (27 years old, Moscow), November 29, 2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! My husband and I go to the gym, the load is not significant, but still... I want to get implants and would like to know how long it will take to return to sports?

Good afternoon, Anastasia! As a rule, you can return to sports within a month and a half after surgery. However, it will be necessary to obtain the doctor’s permission after he assesses the integrity of the stitches.

Victoria (32 years old, Moscow), November 28, 2016

Hello, I am a male transvestite, and I want to make myself female breast(increase). What is needed for this, to what size can it be increased, and how much will it cost??? Thank you in advance.

Good afternoon. The cost of the operation is 250,000. The size and shape of the implants can be determined during a consultation. Implants are installed under pectoral muscle, the incision remains almost invisible.

Kristina (18 years old, Moscow), 09/20/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I have a zero breast size, I would like (ideally) a fourth... I myself am slim, they tell me that there can be a big load on my back. This is true?? I am 18 years old. Best regards, Christina!

Hello, Christina! There is no actual limitation when it comes to breast augmentation, but an experienced professional will consider each individual case. In your case, it is probably not advisable to increase to size four. Because there will indeed be a large load on the back and the risk of unnatural-looking implants. In addition, you will need several operations, since surgeons do not perform breast augmentation by 4 sizes at once. More precisely, I can answer your question during a face-to-face consultation. Come and we will help you!

Irina (23 years old, Moscow), 09/18/2016

Hello, Maxim Alexandrovich! I had a breast augmentation ten years ago (two sizes, now three). IN Lately My breasts sagged a little, and it became noticeable that I was wearing implants. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance, Irina.

Hello Irina! We can perform breast lift surgery and implant replacement, which will completely solve your problem. Come to us for a consultation and we will help you!

Plastic surgery is the most effective method to enlarge the mammary glands. Once in the hands of a good surgeon, a woman will receive beautiful, firm breasts of the desired size.

But the postoperative result does not entirely depend on the qualifications of the doctor and the quality of the work performed. The quality of compliance with medical recommendations during the recovery period plays an important role.

Insufficient care of the postoperative scar, refusal to wear compression garments, early return to physical activity, and even incorrect posture in bed lead to unpleasant consequences that can negate all the efforts of surgeons.

First days after surgery

Immediately after the intervention, the woman is sent to the ward for observation.

As you recover from anesthesia, discomfort and pain in the mammary gland increases. The chest is swollen and there may be bruising in places. This is a normal process that will gradually pass.

In case of severe pain, the doctor prescribes painkillers. First, they are administered intravenously or intramuscularly, and then the medications are given in tablets.

The next day after the operation, the woman’s condition returns to normal and she goes home.


Hospital stay

The length of hospitalization after breast surgery depends on the type of operation and the patient’s health condition. The woman remains in the clinic for at least a day; in the normal course of the operation, this time is enough.

Hospitalization is necessary in order to detect early postoperative complications, such as an adverse reaction to anesthesia or bleeding.

The day after breast augmentation surgery, the doctor examines the postoperative wound, makes a dressing and gives the woman recommendations for a favorable course of the recovery period.

If any complications arise on the first day after the operation, the woman remains in the hospital as long as necessary to stabilize her condition.

Compression underwear

Immediately after the operation, the breasts are covered with elastic bandages. They fix the glands well and reduce swelling. The next day, during the first dressing, the elastic bandages are removed, the wound is treated, a bandage and special compression garments are put on.

High-quality compression garments selected taking into account individual characteristics the patient’s body, makes it easier to endure the postoperative period and shorten its duration by several weeks.

The composition of the compression underwear includes elastane, which allows you to regulate the tension, providing the necessary support and at the same time without squeezing the mammary glands.

The functions of compression garments are as follows:

  • tissue support;
  • preventing seams from coming apart;
  • removing swelling from soft tissues;
  • giving the mammary glands the required shape.

In addition, constant compression stimulates metabolism and epithelial regeneration, due to which postoperative wounds heal faster.

Compression garments should be worn around the clock for 3-4 weeks after mammoplasty, and over the next month they should be worn during the day and during physical activity.

After removing compression garments, you should not immediately put on a luxurious bra that does not support your breasts. Throughout the year, you should wear underwear with a dense base, voluminous cups and wide straps.

Seam processing

Behind postoperative sutures it is necessary to care until a full-fledged scar forms.

Until the stitches are removed, the wound should be treated with antiseptics, which will be recommended by the attending physician. This measure will eliminate the risk of infection in the wound. Suppuration of the postoperative scar will lead to the fact that the recovery period will increase and as a result a rough scar will form.

Sutures are removed 5-7 days after surgery.

Some specialists prefer to use absorbable suture material, so suture removal is not necessary in this case. However, after 5-7 days the woman will still have to come for a consultation to assess the quality of healing.

An important point in treating seams is the use of special creams. Contratubeks gel stimulates the formation of new epithelial cells, which leads to the formation of a gentle, invisible scar. Creams for epithelial regeneration should be used after the sutures are removed and the wound has healed.

Limiting physical activity

For several weeks after the operation, it is strictly forbidden to exercise or overexert yourself. The attending physician, depending on the type of operation, stipulates this time.

This does not mean that a woman should lie in bed and not move. One week after mammoplasty, lungs should be performed physical exercise, which will improve the restoration of breast tissue.

Preventive massage after surgery

Breast massage for women with implants should be done regularly. It will prevent the formation of connective tissue around the endoprosthesis and the appearance of stretch marks.

The doctor will tell you when you can start doing massage. The surgeon will also tell the patient massage techniques that will not harm the breasts and will be effective.

How long does the rehabilitation period last?

The duration of the rehabilitation period after breast surgery depends both on the type of operation and on the quality of implementation of recommendations.

Let us highlight the following points of the rehabilitation period:

  • Return to usual life usually occurs within 2-3 weeks.
  • The appearance of the breast is restored after 1.5-2 months, when bruises and swelling go away.
  • The rehabilitation period is considered completed only after the restoration of the mammary glands. This is observed after 6 months, when the final effect of mammoplasty is recorded.
  • It is believed that the breast tissue itself is completely restored a year after the installation of implants.
  • Constant use of special creams. This is necessary to ensure that the breast tissue receives a sufficient amount nutrients and didn't stretch.
  • You should not shower until the postoperative wound has healed, otherwise you may get an infection.
  • The first time (7 days) after surgery you should sleep on your back, then on your side, and only after a month you can lie on your stomach.
  • At the end of the recovery period, you should gradually return to sports.

Losing weight after

Small breasts do not allow for large implants because they will be contoured and the breasts will take on an unnatural shape. If there is a large amount of fatty tissue, a woman has the opportunity to install large implants that will look natural.

When losing weight, fat deposits from the chest area are one of the first to disappear. This will cause the implant to be contoured and immediately make the breast unnatural. In addition, this can serve as an impetus for the development of complications, in particular, the growth of connective tissue around the implant (capsular contracture).

FAQ

How long do implants last, and do they need to be replaced?

It is believed that modern implants have a lifetime service life and do not need to be replaced. However, 10 years after the operation, half of the women need to have it repeated, and the quality of the implants does not play a role here. Over time, the soft tissues undergo changes, become thinner, and the endoprosthesis begins to contour. Develops around the implant connective tissue, which requires a repeat operation.

When can the final result be assessed?

The final result is assessed after six months. However, after 3 months you can assess whether the operation was successful and see the first results.

When can you plan a pregnancy after breast augmentation?

Pregnancy can be planned only one year after the operation. It is by this time that the mammary gland is completely restored and is ready for breastfeeding.

When can I return to normal life (workouts, intimate life, swimming)?

You can fly on an airplane within 7-10 days after the operation. Heavy sports should be avoided for at least 3 months, with light exercise allowed after 3-5 weeks depending on the condition. It is recommended to swim and visit the sauna no earlier than after 3 months.

Intimate life should be excluded for at least a month after breast augmentation. During excitement, blood flow to the gland tissue increases, which will lead to increased swelling and slow down recovery.

When can you shower after surgery?

You can wash yourself using a shower 5-7 days after surgery, but taking a bath is allowed only after a month.

Is it necessary to wear special underwear?

Yes, the patient must wear special underwear, otherwise the result of even the most successful operation will be spoiled.

Can I return to diving lessons?

After mammoplasty, a woman can lead a normal life, as before the operation. The main thing is to meet the deadlines necessary for this. You are allowed to return to diving after a month.

How often do you need to see a surgeon after surgery?

After breast augmentation surgery, there are mandatory examinations by a surgeon. They are held the next day, after 3 days, a week and 10 days. The doctor then schedules a consultation at 1, 3 and 6 months. However, they are optional and the woman does not have to attend them.

Recovery from breast augmentation surgery is a long process. In order to significantly reduce the likelihood of complications, a woman must strictly follow all the surgeon’s recommendations.

The final result depends on how the patient behaves during the first few months.

Mammoplasty is an operation to correct the breast. Despite the fact that this surgical procedure is not considered very complicated, special medical recommendations should be followed after it.

This article will discuss in detail the question of when you can have sex after mammoplasty and what rules you need to follow.

Features of rehabilitation

The rehabilitation course lasts on average from two to three months after mammoplasty. If the patient does not experience any complications in her condition, then on the fifth day her stitches are removed and she goes home.

A very important condition for proper rehabilitation is wearing tight compressor underwear.

It is necessary to fix the “new” breast and give it the correct shape. A woman should wear this type of underwear for the first month.

This tight bandage will give maximum comfort the patient and will relieve her of sharp muscle pain that can occur when walking quickly or moving her arms too suddenly.

In order to postoperative scar tightened as quickly as possible, the woman needs to be extremely careful and not raise her hands up.

At proper care Behind the seam, already a month after mammoplasty, it should acquire a pinkish color. After six months it should not be noticeable at all.

During the rehabilitation period, a woman must visit a doctor once a month and undergo an examination. This is necessary for control general condition health, as well as for wound and implant monitoring.

In order to rehabilitation period successfully completed as soon as possible, the patient should adhere to the following medical recommendations:

  • wear compressor garments regularly;
  • completely limit physical exercise in the next two months after the operation (refuse to lift heavy objects, clean the house, play sports, run, swim, etc.);
  • You can shower no earlier than on the fifth day after surgery (due to the risk of infection in a fresh wound). It is also advisable not to wet the seam before the medical threads are removed;
  • Avoid visiting the solarium and the beach for six months. In the future, it is recommended to avoid contact with the chest. ultraviolet rays;
  • apply recommended creams and ointments that will promote healing of sutures;
  • Monitor your diet very carefully, especially in the first months after surgery. The body must fully recover, so the diet should be rich in vitamins (vegetables, fruits) and proteins (eggs, meat, liver);
  • in order to relieve swelling from the mammary glands, you should do a light massage;
  • In the first days after mammoplasty, it is very important not to sleep on your stomach and side. You should try to move less in general and remain at rest;
  • in the first week after surgery, you should not bend over (this may cause a hematoma);
  • It is recommended to drive a car no earlier than five days after anesthesia, since after the operation her body is greatly weakened by medications, and the woman’s reactions may be inhibited.

When can you have sex after mammoplasty?

You can have sex after mammoplasty no earlier than two months after the operation.

This rule is very important to follow, since its violation can entail serious risks to a woman’s health.

This is based on the fact that intimate intimacy is always accompanied by a large load on the woman’s body and hormonal levels, which is extremely undesirable after any operation.

In addition, only after a two-month course of rehabilitation will the “new” breasts be able to acquire more beautiful view, since in the first weeks after mammoplasty it is too painful, swollen and swollen.

Main risks

The main risks of having sex earlier specified period can be divided into three separate groups:

  • risks associated with physical activity;
  • complications and risks associated with possible chest injury;
  • risks associated with changes in a woman’s hormonal levels during sex.

Let's look at each subgroup in more detail.

Physical activity related

Most often, with early physical activity, the patient exposes herself and her health to the following risks:

  • displacement of implants to the side or upward. This condition will be accompanied by severe pain and unpleasant sensations. In this case, one or two implants will be deformed, and the breast will become unevenly located, crooked, flat, etc.
  • with displacement of the mammary glands there is big risk the fact that the operation will have to be repeated, since the purely aesthetic appearance of the breast will be ugly;
  • Excessive exercise is very harmful to fresh wounds, especially if the stitches have not yet been removed. With intense exertion and sudden movements, a woman’s external seams may come apart. This may lead to infection and a sharp deterioration in the patient’s condition;
  • If the stitches rupture, the woman will feel severe pain and burning.

One of the biggest risks is the formation of hematoma and severe swelling.

Such phenomena are not at all uncommon after mammoplasty, so it is highly not recommended to contribute to their occurrence with additional physical activity.

This is explained by the fact that newly formed hematomas cannot always completely resolve and disappear. Sometimes they just freeze and harden.

As a result, a woman develops an unsightly scar or hematoma on her chest, which will require additional surgery to remove or correct it.

In turn, the woman will have to undergo another operation.

Associated with possible injury

When having sex, there is a risk that your breasts will be accidentally injured.

This, in turn, is dangerous for the following reasons:

  • on mammary glands that have not yet fully healed, the formation of bruises, bruises, etc. is possible. First of all, it will be extremely unsightly, and secondly, it will be dangerous, since hemorrhages can cause inflammation and the woman’s temperature will rise. This condition will require immediate hospitalization and drug treatment;
  • with strong compression of the mammary glands, the woman will feel severe pain;
  • in the event of an accidental injury to the breast, the implants may become dislodged and the mammary glands will take on an undesirable shape;
  • If there is a chest injury, a fresh wound may become infected. At best, this will lead to an increase in temperature, at worst, to blood poisoning. If the woman’s condition cannot be stabilized with antibiotics, then most likely the implants will need to be removed so that the body can recover.

Hormonal background

Even if the risk of trauma during intimacy can be eliminated, sexual excitement can still lead to complications in a woman’s condition.

This is justified by the fact that when aroused in the female hormonal background strong physiological changes occur in the form of blood flow to the chest.

In turn, this can lead to increased swelling and bleeding into the lymph located near the implants.

In addition, the most dangerous is the risk of hematoma formation, which will need to be removed.

In order to minimize possible risks During rehabilitation, you should remember the following tips:

  • The first intimacy after mammoplasty should be very careful. In this case, the woman must wear compressor underwear;
  • To quickly restore the body after surgery, it is recommended to refuse bad habits(smoking, drinking alcoholic drinks);
  • in order not to contribute to breast swelling, in the first days after mammoplasty you should consume no more than two liters of fluid;
  • be attentive to your health. And if pain occurs, immediately tell your doctor about it. He can prescribe effective pain medications;
  • It is very important to use special creams for rapid wound healing. Also quite effective are special silicone patches, which in just a few days can tighten the seam so that it is not so noticeable in the future.

Contraindications to mammoplasty

Before deciding to undergo breast correction, it is important to know in which cases it cannot be performed:

  • age up to eighteen years, when the body is not yet fully formed;
  • pregnancy and lactation (it is recommended to perform mammoplasty no earlier than eight months after the end of breastfeeding);
  • presence of chronic diseases of cardio-vascular system;
  • illnesses nervous system in which a person does not control himself and may harm himself;
  • any serious chronic diseases (diabetes, hepatitis, HIV infection, jaundice);
  • blood clotting disorder;
  • kidney disease;
  • weakened immunity.

What to do if complications occur

If unwanted symptoms or a general deterioration in your condition occur, it is recommended to immediately consult a doctor, since negative symptoms can lead to serious health complications.

The most dangerous symptoms are:

  • the appearance of swelling in the chest;
  • increased body temperature that lasts more than two days;
  • severe chest pain;
  • seam divergence;
  • change in the shape of the breast, which was immediately after the operation;
  • breast deformation (when one mammary gland is higher or smoother than the other);
  • severe swelling of the mammary glands;
  • bruising and bruising on the chest.

Many women think about the restrictions in Everyday life they can collide, obtaining the desired size and shape of the mammary glands. Made from high quality materials and have a lifetime warranty. However, the risk of complications associated with the introduction of prostheses increases every year.

Our experienced aesthetic surgeon Oleg Banizh has been practicing breast surgery for more than 10 years. the main objective Our job is to achieve unsurpassed results and maintain them for as long as possible. Hundreds of happy patients who have undergone breast implantation with us have undergone the recovery process easily, without encountering side effects.

Sports and intimate life after breast surgery

Since they are mainly approached by perfectionists who care about their figure, they are often concerned with the question: is it possible to play sports after surgery? During the rehabilitation process, heavy physical activity will be strictly prohibited for you. And this applies not only gym and home gymnastics: it is not recommended to even lift weights. So if you have Small child, think in advance who will be able to carry it in their arms during the first month after the operation.

Summary:

  • . For the first month after surgery, you will not be allowed to do any physical activity;
  • . Sports training can be introduced from the second month after installation of implants;
  • . Add load gradually: start with yoga, swimming or Pilates, and only then move on to CrossFit and supersets;
  • . It is better to postpone visiting the gym and training with barbells/dumbbells for six months;
  • . During the first year after plastic surgery, it is recommended to wear compression garments when performing any exercises;
  • . It is better to avoid running for 3-4 months after plastic surgery. Start it after 5-6 months, not forgetting about the bandage bra;
  • . The training plan should be drawn up under the supervision of a doctor and trainer.

It is better to limit intimate life in the first two weeks after surgery. You should also move on to it carefully, avoiding unnecessary activity. After the scars have healed and the implants have fully sunk into the capsule, sexual life can continue in the usual pre-operative rhythm.

Be sure to choose sports supportive underwear, especially if you expose your breasts to “shaking.” Running, jumping rope, elliptical trainer- these exercises should only be performed with a bandage top. This rule applies at all times, regardless of the age of your new breasts. However, it is relevant and useful even for girls whose breasts have not been touched by a scalpel.

Cosmetical tools

Cosmetic breast care afterward is no less important than for “natural” mammary glands. The introduction of implants does not have any effect on the condition of the skin, including beneficial ones. It also continues to age, undergo gravitational ptosis and lose its tone, with the only difference being that its shape remains harmonious and less susceptible to destructive changes.

Restrictions on the cosmetics used apply only to the period of primary rehabilitation. Don't use:

  1. Aggressive stimulants containing menthol, pine extracts, mint;
  2. Alcohol-containing lotions and tonics;
  3. Fatty base oils (especially during the healing period of sutures);
  4. Creams with a high content of fragrances and chemical substances;
  5. Abrasive body scrub.

If a lot of time has passed since the operation, you need to:

  • . Moisturize and nourish the breast skin with serums, fluids and lotions special purpose;
  • . Use scrubs to improve blood microcirculation, tone the skin and activate lymph flow;
  • . From time to time, do home or salon breast wraps;
  • . Use a contrasting circular shower;
  • . Apply creams for stretch marks;
  • . Attend manual and hardware procedures at your own discretion.

Water procedures and temperature conditions

Implanted breasts create many restrictions regarding water and temperature conditions.

  • . Avoid prolonged sun exposure with your chest open. Visiting a solarium is specifically prohibited in the first month after surgery;
  • . If you can't resist tanning topless, use creams with high level protection from ultraviolet radiation(but only 3-4 months after the final healing of the sutures);
  • . Avoid visiting infrared sauna: there are known cases of deformation of implants after its use;
  • . Classic baths and saunas are prohibited in the first months after plastic surgery. Later you can visit them, but with maximum caution, without abusing the time spent in the steam rooms;
  • . Immediately after mammoplasty, you should not take a bath or swim in the pool. Limit yourself to a regular shower;
  • . Trips to the sea should be postponed for 2-3 months after surgery.

While your stitches are fresh, you should try to be careful in everything, because now the wounds are at risk of infection. In addition, until the prosthesis is completely fixed in the capsule, there is a risk of breast deformation. Once rehabilitation is completely completed, you can return to your normal life. However, it is better to discuss your exotic preferences with our doctor in advance. For example, if you are impatient to visit the steam room, you must first examine your breasts and wait for a specialist’s approval.

Choosing a bra

The primary rehabilitation process involves constant wearing of a specialized compression bra. What to do after? How to choose beautiful underwear so that it does not harm your newly acquired jewelry?

A few quick tips for choosing underwear:

  • . Under no circumstances should you wear tight underwear that creates discomfort;
  • . Seamless, wire-free underwear is recommended for 3 months after surgery;
  • . Monitor the quality of the cut: the product should be comfortable;
  • . Supporting elements (bones) should not break through the tissue and injure the skin. This is very dangerous for any breast, especially implanted ones!
  • . It is better to choose a bra not exactly in size, but a little looser. You are a woman, and you must understand that your breasts tend to increase during certain days and periods of your life;
  • . Pay attention to the composition of the product. Ideally, these should be “breathable” lightweight materials, preferably natural. Don’t skimp on silk and expensive knitwear - it will bring you much more benefits than cheap synthetics;
  • . Carefully inspect your underwear before purchasing. It should not injure the nipples or irritate the skin;
  • . Avoid wearing push-ups every day. Allow yourself to wear such products only on special occasions.

What is important to remember after breast augmentation

No matter how much time has passed since your transformation, you should be careful about your breasts and contact a specialist at the first alarming symptoms.

  • . We recommend that you undergo a breast MRI within the first 3 years after surgery: tomography will help assess the condition of the implants and capsule, and identify possible diseases or neoplasms. It is better to do an MRI once every 2-3 years on a regular basis.
  • . If you notice strange symptoms such as: deformation of dentures, sharp pain in the chest, lumps, hyperemia, swelling - consult a doctor immediately! You shouldn't think that side effects can occur only immediately after plastic surgery. Late capsular contracture, which tends to develop 1-2 years after surgery, is the first confirmation of this.
  • . The sooner you see a doctor with problems, the higher your chance of avoiding surgical treatment by treating it conservatively.
  • . If you are concerned about the condition of the stitches, contact the doctor who operated on you.
  • . you should follow all traditional norms for healthy lactation. Buy bras that fit your rapidly growing breasts in a timely manner. During pregnancy, use skin strengthening products.
