How long is breast implant removal recovery?

Full recovery from your surgery will take up to 6 weeks. You can return to work after seven days, but should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. Between 4 and 6 weeks post-operation, you can gradually resume normal activities, while still taking care during your recovery.

Initially, your breasts may appear swollen and feel tight, but this should decrease within the first six weeks as healing occurs. You will need to wear a post-operative support bra to help with healing, reduce the risk of infection, and minimise swelling. Mr Pieri will also prescribe pain medication to provide relief and comfort during your recovery.
