Dr. Chen Lu
In general, the recovery period for autologous fat breast augmentation takes about 1-2 weeks, although complete recovery may require several months. In the early postoperative period, noticeable swelling and mild pain in the chest area are normal postoperative reactions. These symptoms typically begin to subside within a week, but complete resolution of swelling may take 4-6 weeks.
To ensure optimal recovery, patients are advised to follow the doctor's instructions for postoperative care, avoid strenuous activities and lifting heavy objects, to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications.
