After your surgery
You're likely to feel tired and sore for a few days following your surgery, but
you'll be up and around in 24 to 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled
by medication prescribed by your doctor.
Within several days, the gauze dressings, if you have them, will be removed,
and you may be given a surgical bra. You should wear it as directed by your
surgeon. You may also experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about
two weeks, but this will subside as bruising fades.
Your stitches will come out in a week to 10 days, but the swelling in your
breasts may take three to five weeks to disappear.
