Precautions after breast augmentation surgery include the following:

1. Sutures are usually removed 7 days after breast augmentation surgery.

2. Avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol after breast augmentation surgery.

3. There is usually pain and swelling in the chest after breast augmentation surgery. The pain will last for two to three days and can be controlled by taking medication as directed by your doctor. The swelling usually subsides within one to two weeks.

4. After breast augmentation surgery, rest in bed for two to three days, and then gradually resume activities. Generally, you can resume your daily work after a week. Within one month after surgery, you should avoid raising your arms high, carrying heavy objects, and avoid strenuous exercise.

5. Use antibiotics as directed by your doctor after breast augmentation surgery, and pay attention to the wound. If serious infection occurs, the prosthesis must be removed and another operation performed.

6. Do not wear bras with wires within six months after breast augmentation surgery to prevent breast deformation and capsular twinning (capsular fibrosclerosis).

7. Sexual intercourse should be avoided within two weeks after breast augmentation surgery.

8. Breast augmentation surgery generally does not affect the ability to breastfeed. If you are planning to become pregnant, it is best to wait six months after breast augmentation surgery until the breast shape has stabilized.

9. Start breast massage one week after breast augmentation surgery. The method is to push the breasts upward, inward and outward as much as possible, hold the position for ten seconds, and do the left and right breasts for five minutes each. Twice in the morning and evening in the first month. Start once a night in the second month and continue for one year. After a year, I switched to occasional massage. Breast massage can effectively reduce the occurrence of capsular shrinkage, so it should be done consistently.

If you want to steam, it is recommended to go after three months. However, everyone’s recovery situation is different, so it is best to consult a doctor.
