Breast Augmentation Post-operative Instructions

 

After surgery, please start with sips of clear liquids and advance diet as tolerated.

Please do not take your pain pills on an empty stomach, or at the same time, this will increase nausea.

Please take all of your antibiotics according to the prescription. If nauseous, begin taking them the day after surgery.

If you like, you may be up and around on the day of your surgery.

Please rest with a couple of pillows under your head and shoulders.

It is normal to have some swelling. This usually maximizes at 24-48 hours.

You may raise your arms as tolerated. There are no restrictions to movement. Please do not lift weights for two weeks.
