We have collected some FAQ after breast augmentation in Korea. Here are 7 breast augmentation Q&A related to recovery.

Q: I don’t like the size of my breast after the surgery. It is too small / too big. What should I do?

A:  You have to wait until full recovery to see the final shape of your breast after augmentation. It might look too small because the skin hasn’t adjusted to the size of implant yet, or it might look too big because of the swelling. Patience is the key.

A: In ID Hospital you will get 3 sessions of a high frequency deswelling care and 2 laser sessions for scar treatment for free.

Q: Do I have to wear a compression garment after breast augmentation?

A: Yes, wearing a compression garment is very important, because it helps to reduce swelling and bruising and settle the right position for the implant. It should be worn 24/7 for a month, then at night for 3 months.  Even though you might feel uncomfortable compression garment is necessary for the hassle-free recovery.

Q:  How should I sleep after breast augmentation?

A: Do not sleep sideways or facing downwards, sleep on your back and keep your head level above your heart level. After 3 months you can sleep on your side, however it is recommended to sleep on your back up to 6 months post op.
