Planning recovery after breast augmentation
Dressings or a support garment may be used, with individualized restrictions on lifting and upper-body activity. Obtain instructions for wound care and signs that warrant prompt review. Implant care extends beyond early healing: request a written surveillance plan, device records and an explanation of possible future costs and operations.
Prepare before the appointment
Obtain the exact proposed device information and written consent materials before deciding. Discuss screening and tests appropriate to personal history, medications and smoking. Plan help with lifting restrictions and practical tasks, and clarify who will manage follow-up once back home.

Explore procedure & clinicsSymptoms and complications to discuss
Risks include infection, bleeding, altered sensation, pain, scarring and an unsatisfactory position or shape. Implant-specific issues include rupture, capsular contracture and additional surgery. FDA information also addresses BIA-ALCL, reports of other cancers around implants and systemic symptoms. Ask for device-specific written risk information, without assuming that approval in one country establishes Korean authorization.
Interpreting the result as tissues settle
Augmentation cannot guarantee a specific bra size or perfect symmetry. Implants may require monitoring, replacement or removal. Fat transfer has different volume limitations and may not deliver the same change as an implant. Significant drooping is a separate structural concern.
