There could be residual fluid leakage in a day. If so, apply new sterile gauze. Do not remove the dressing, the wound needs to be protected from contamination.
Take your prescribed medications 3 times a day after meal for 7 days. Do not take aspirin or any products containing aspirin unless it’s approved by your surgeon.
You can take a shower 2~3 days later when waterproof bands are applied to the incision areas. Avoid hot baths, sauna, and swimming for at least 2 weeks.
Compression Garment should be worn 24 hours for 2 weeks and 12 hours for another 2 to 4 weeks. This helps relieve swelling and aids in quicker recovery.
Any kind of food ingestion is allowed after surgery except alcoholic beverage and excessively salty food.
Your breast could be asymmetrical, lumpy, swelled and bruised during the healing process. It is only temporary.
Sleep on your stomach on the night of your surgery. This helps with the swelling and stops bleeding in case of hemorrhage.
