A compression bandage will be worn for 3-4 days and will then be replaced by a sports bra. This bra keeps the prosthesis firm and prevents seromas and bruises. It usually takes about 30 days. During the first week, strenuous activity with the arms should be avoided.
The intradermal stitches are removed at 12 days and then the patient is instructed to gradually begin normal activity.
After one week from the operation, manual lymphatic drainage is recommended and when stitches are removed, the use of rosehip oil on the scar and sun cream protection is recommended for 6-8 months after the procedure.
