Precautions After Breast Surgery

• [Treatment schedule/wound care]-Check the progress on the 7th day after surgery, and if there are stitches, remove them on the 14th day.
  -If there is a tape around the chest, keep it as much as possible until the next visit and get it checked. (The chest tape can be removed if it is too itchy or uncomfortable on the 3rd or 4th day. When the armpit is stimulated, apply a softcloth or gauze.)
• [Exercise/shower]-You should absolutely refrain from excessive exercising such as (golf, gym, swimming, lifting heavy objects, etc.) or chest massage (sexual life, etc.) until 3 months after the surgery.
  – Until the next visit (about a week), wipe the area around the chest with a wet towel. Besides those areas, taking shower and washing your hair is possible.
• [Pain]– Please take your discharge medicine well. It contains pain relievers. If the pain is severe, you can take 1 or 2 additional painkillers a day.
• [Scar management]-Scar relief ointment can be used up to 3 to 4 weeks after surgery for a scar relief on the incision area. (Available at pharmacies without a prescription)
  -When using the upper band, you can use a soft gauze or padding to prevent irritation.
• [Chest shape]-This may look awkward at first. It is possible to check the progress later, and most of them improve after 3 to 4months.
  -To prevent stretch marks, apply oil and moisturizer to the skin around the chest.

• [Wearing a supportive bra]-When wearing a supportive bra, wear the upper band above the chest to prevent the implant from going upward, and wear the correction bra as closely as possible in line with the bottom and the center line. (If the swelling subsides and becomes loose, you can wear it again.)

• [Remedy]-If the chest suddenly swells, apply the gauze provided at the time of your discharge to the swollen area, wear the upper band, and press gently with your hand. Then, contact the hospital. (If you don’t have a gauze, use a towel.)
