Mastopexy is a risk-free intervention, which is performed under general anesthesia and in which the patient can return home the day after the operation. It is at that moment when special care must be taken so that the sagging breasts operation has optimal results.

1.- Wear a non-wired bra day and night
After lifting the breasts it is very important that they remain subject, protected by a bra, for at least a month. Ideally, it should be a sports bra, totally free of underwire, that helps to immobilize the area.

2.- Be patient with swelling
As in any operation, after mastopexy it is normal for the treated area, in this case the breasts, to show inflammation and be more sensitive. It is not something to worry about, since those little annoyances will disappear in a matter of days.

3.- Rest and avoid bearing weight
Although recovery after breast lift is quick, the patient cannot forget that she has undergone surgery and that her body needs time to recover. Therefore, it is necessary to lead a very calm and relaxed life during the 4 or 5 days after the intervention. It is also recommended to avoid moving your arms, picking up weights or driving.

4.- Better to sleep on your back
The best thing to do at bedtime is to lie on your back, at least for the first few months. In this position, any pressure on the breasts and, therefore, damage is avoided. In addition to being the ideal position for recovery, it will also be the most comfortable.
