Breast Reconstruction Surgery Recovery


Many women choose to undergo breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Though it is not categorized as cosmetic surgery, the primary purpose behind breast reconstruction is to restore a physical appearance that brings you confidence.

Your surgery recovery is the last challenge you’ll need to undertake before you can return to your normal activities with a bust you feel comfortable with. At Pearl Recovery Retreat and Wellness, we provide personalized 24/7 care for those going through breast reconstruction surgery recovery. From the first few days of required intensive care to the 6 to 8 weeks it takes for you to regain full physical movement, our dedicated nurses and amenities can help ensure that your recovery experience is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Types Of Breast Reconstruction Surgery

There are two main types of breast reconstruction surgery, each of which requires different recovery time periods and maintenance routines.

Implants

This surgical option involves inserting silicone or saline breast implants behind the fat layer of the breast. While this surgical process is relatively straightforward, recovery from this breast reconstruction option may involve several months of doctor’s visits following the procedure. You also may need to replace your implants after ten years.

Flap Reconstruction

Flap reconstruction involves filling out the breast using a piece of skin, fat, or muscle tissue from another place on your body such as the belly. While this surgery is more complex than receiving implants and breast reconstruction surgery recovery period is longer, it generally doesn’t require replacement implants and should last for life.

What To Expect During Breast Reconstruction Recovery

No matter which breast reconstruction surgery option you choose, you will need to stay in bed, follow your surgeon’s breast reconstruction recovery tips, receive meticulous medical care, and take prescribed pain medication for a few days after the procedure. You will also likely experience soreness, swelling and/or bruising for one to two weeks after surgery, as well as up to two months of limited physical activity.
