After removal of breast implants, it is important to keep the incision site clean and dry, avoiding contact with water to prevent local infection. Also, excessive arm movements should be avoided to prevent interference with wound healing. During the recovery period, wearing underwire bras is not recommended. Patients should abstain from smoking and alcohol, and avoid seafood as well as spicy or irritating foods.
