General Recovery Time for Implant over the Muscle under the Gland
..
路 Day 1-4- Moderate discomfort controlled with pain medicine. Support Bra, rest, no lifting or vigorous activity. You will need help caring for your children. You will be asked to walk, be up and around to keep leg muscles active to avoid possible blood clots in legs. Your implants will look HIGH-do not worry
..
路 Day 5-10- If Implant displacement exercises were started by day 3-4 pain should be almost gone. No need for pain medication. Able to slowly resume normal daily activities but not physical exercise. If you have a sedentary job, can work on computer preferably at home. Some people return to work this early but I do not recommend this. No sex.
..
路 Day 10-14- Return to work. Resume normal activities except exercise. Sutures removed.
..
路 2-3 weeks- May resume exercise and fitness routine if your incisions are well healed and your doctor agrees.
..
路 4-6 weeks- Implant position looks more normal as you tissues accommodate the increased volume. Safe to resume normal sexual activity if your doctor agrees that you are well healed.
..
路 3 months-Your Implants have dropped to a natural position. The Implants should be soft and moveable. Any firmness or hardness should be reported to your doctor immediately.

General Recovery Time for Implant under the Muscle
..
路 Day 1-10- Moderate discomfort requiring pain medications. No lifting, housework or exercise. You will need a supportive spouse for friend to help with child care. I like to start displacement exercises as soon as possible during this period. Doing so speeds relief from pain, improves your result and speeds recovery.
..
路 Day 10-14- you should be comfortable to resume most daily activities and return to work. However no heavy lifting and no vigorous exercise involving you upper body. You may power walk, treadmill, and work on your lower body but rest your upper body. No sex.
..
路 2-3 weeks- gradually increase exercise and daily activities. Displacement exercises very important. Still no vigorous upper body exercise like weight lifting or push-ups.
..
路 4-6 weeks- your implants should have started to drop into a more natural position, but slower than with over the muscle. Pain should be gone. Keep up displacement exercises. Resume normal sexual activity. Still avoid weight lifting and push-ups. May resume normal sexual activity if cleared by your doctor.
..
路 3 months- your implants should look normal and be soft. Ask your doctor if you may resume weight lifting and push-ups. If you feel firmness or asymmetry be sure to see your doctor.
