How long does it take for breasts to settle after surgery?

The downtime for breast augmentation surgery varies anywhere from three days to a week and it's important to mentally and physically de-stress, so working from home is still not recommended. You want to allow your body to heal during the recovery period. I recommend that my patients don't do any physical activity that raises their blood pressure for the first two weeks, but walking is very much encouraged because it helps improve blood flow and the healing process. Make sure that you're eating appropriately, lowering your coffee intake right after surgery because coffee can stimulate stress hormones in addition to the surgery. Meditation is very helpful.
