Breast Enlargement
Recovery
Depending on your activity and fitness levels, typical Pittsburgh breast augmentation patients usually have recovery periods in the range of 1 week, with most of the pain being relieved within the first 72 hours. Exercise and strenuous physical activity will need to be avoided for about six weeks. It is normal for the implants to sit high on the chest wall if they were placed in the subglandular position. They usually will settle down in the next couple of weeks. It takes up to a year for the scars to fade after surgery.
