There’s not much info on subglandular breast augmentation recovery. Curious how soon most patients
recuperation from Subglandular breast augmentation
Jul 11, 2018
Jul 11, 2018
The recuperation from subglandular and submuscular is really the same. There may be a little less pain post operatively from subglandular but this is minimal with careful technique. You should be able to raise your arms for example to wash your hair, within a day or two after surgery. Most surgeons would recommend that you do NOT lift weights, engage in any cardio activities (even walking on a treadmill), or doing things which may raise you heart rate or blood…

This is because quitting smoking is a very stressful period and should not be superimposed on the stress of recent surgery. It is better to focus on one aspect at a time. Also, if you quit a few days before, you will likely have increased sputum production and coughing which is dangerous in the immediate healing period. Coughing causes a…
