Because there are several incisions involved in mastopexy, you should expect some discomfort, bruising and swelling after the breast lift. Severe pain as abnormal and should be brought to the attention of your surgeon should it occur. There...

will also be bandages and dressings that need attention—you should receive direction from the surgeon or nursing staff when you leave the site of the surgery. For two to three days following the breast list, you may also have surgical drains that will need to be managed.

 

You should walk around soon after the mastopexy but plan on staying off work for several days to a week. On the advice of your surgeon, you may be able to resume normal activities and even light exercise within weeks of your breast lift. Your breasts should been given adequate time to heal, thus major or even moderate manipulation should be avoided for several weeks. Be sure to keep all of your follow-up appointments.
