One of the points of greatest concern to women who want to undergo breast augmentation surgery is post op. Most patients who come to the clinic of Dr. Manuel Gutierrez ask us: How is the postoperative process after breast augmentation surgery? How often should I undergo a revision?

Postoperative breast augmentation surgery in Tijuana features and recommendations:

  • The patient will feel discomfort in the chest similar to the feeling of pressure from a rise in postpartum milk. It is important to take medication prescribed every 4 hours to maintain a level of continuous analgesia throughout the day. These symptoms usually last a week and are fully controllable with medication.

  • Results are spectacular from the first day.
  • Typically, the patient does not have even a single bruise.

  • The chest swells at the beginning and will be going down gradually over the next 6 months.
  • From the sixth month the feel is more natural, softer.
  • The first incision becomes red (inflammatory phase) and then whitewashes over the first year. We use a series of products that help with healing for it to be noticed as little as possible. At the end there is typically a fine white line 1mm thick.
