Breast Augmentation Recovery
It takes about 90 minutes to perform breast augmentation in Sacramento, CA. Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Clark usually operate in their state-of-the-art, on-site surgical center, fully accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities. Board certified M.D. anesthesiologists from Mercy Folsom Hospital provide anesthetic care, which is most often general anesthesia.
You'll spend a while in our recovery room after surgery. We'll monitor you carefully and when you're ready, you'll go home to begin the healing process. Your breasts will have gauze dressings and a soft bra for support. Postoperative visits will be scheduled for the day after surgery, then a week later, at the one-month mark, the four-month mark and one year after surgery.
Right after breast augmentation in Sacramento, implants usually look high and feel hard. By about four weeks after surgery, swelling will have decreased and your breasts will most likely be looking very good. By the four-month mark, final swelling will have resolved and your breasts will have reached their ultimate position.
Dr. Kaufman or Dr. Clark will ensure you are thoroughly prepared for surgery, with complete pre-operative and post-operative instructions. The surgeons and their professional staff will be with you every step of the way.
After Your Procedure
Recovery varies from individual to individual. Patients are usually off pain medication by the fourth day after surgery and resuming light activities. Most women return to normal, unrestricted activities by about four weeks post-op.
Many women comment that the surgery and recovery was much easier than they expected. Nevertheless, Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Clark suggest you reserve several days away from your normal routine to relax, and add more strenuous activities carefully and gradually.
