With advanced techniques and years of experience, Dr. Farris delivers natural, beautiful results while prioritizing safety, comfort, and individualized care.
Week 1: Immediate Post-Surgery Recovery
The first week is crucial for rest and healing. You’ll likely experience swelling, bruising, and soreness around the chest area. Dr. Farris may recommend prescription pain medication to manage discomfort. It’s important to wear a surgical bra to provide support and minimize movement. Avoid strenuous activities, and stick to only light walking.
Week 2: Gradual Improvement
By the second week, you’ll notice a significant decrease in swelling and discomfort. You can likely return to light activities or work, but avoid heavy lifting or raising your arms above your shoulders. You may still feel tightness in the chest as your body adjusts to the implants, but this is normal. Continue wearing your support garment and follow your Dr. Farris’s instructions closely.
Weeks 3-4: Adjusting to the New Normal
Much of the bruising and swelling should subside during this stage, and you’ll start seeing more of your final results. However, your breasts may still sit higher on your chest as the implants settle into place. Light exercise, such as walking or stationary biking, is typically allowed, but avoid any intense physical activity or chest exercises.
Weeks 5-6: Resuming Daily Activities
At the five- to six-week mark, many patients can resume normal activities, including more intense workouts and lifting. The implants should be settling into a more natural position, and any lingering soreness is usually minimal. Continue to monitor your healing and schedule a follow-up with Dr. Farris to ensure everything is progressing as expected.
Long-Term Healing
Full recovery can take months, with final results becoming more apparent as the implants fully settle. Follow-up appointments can help you track your progress and ensure optimal results.
