While the cooler winter weather may not have you thinking about beach days or pool parties, it is the perfect time to plan for those fun summer plans and your ability to show off some new curves. If you are considering breast implants, the winter months provide the perfect time for breast augmentation. Not only do the baggy hoodies of winter help cover your breasts as they heal, but a winter recovery ensures your breasts are ready for the summer fun ahead.
Breast Augmentation Recovery Takes Time
While every woman recovers differently, it is important to understand that you will have a significant recovery period after your breast augmentation. During your first 24 hours, you can expect swelling, bruising, tenderness, and discomfort. You will be asked to wear a post-surgical bra to aid in recovery. During your first week of recovery, it is important to take time to rest and allow your body to heal. At the end of the week, you may be ready to return to work and non-strenuous activities if directed by Dr. Sistare. It will be at least four to six weeks before you can resume normal activities.
Off-Season Breast Augmentation Allows for Recovery Times
Planning your breast augmentation in the final months of winter helps provide a generous window for recovery before your summer activities begin. The cooler weather allows you to comfortably wear recovery garments hidden under your favorite hoodie or blanket. Scheduling your procedure in the winter keeps your scars out of the sun which can affect scar healing. A winter breast augmentation also gives you plenty of time for the swelling and bruising to subside and your implants to settle before you show off your favorite new bikini.
Implant Settling and Reduced Swelling Make Bikini Shopping Easier
As mentioned above, the increased healing time from a winter breast augmentation allows for the minimization of swelling and bruising as well as the settling of your implants into their ideal position. Having your breast implants in their ideal position makes it much easier to find the perfect bikinis to highlight your new breasts and contours.
No Need To Worry About Bandaging and Recovery Garments
Breast augmentation recovery requires you to wear post-surgical bras or compression bras for the first couple of weeks before transitioning to a compression sports bra. These bras must be worn both day and night. By planning your recovery for the winter months, you can cover up your unflattering post-surgical garments under your clothes and don’t have to worry about how they will look with your favorite summer outfits. By the time it is time to pack the winter clothes away and pull out that bikini and sundress, you are ready to show off your new appearance.
