When discharged from hospital you will have a bandage that you must not get wet for 3-4 days and for the removal of which you must visit the consulting rooms, replacing it with a snug-fitting sports bra for the rest of the month. You will not be able to make any exertions or lift any weight with your arms for the first two weeks.
The stitches tend to be removed within 14-15 days and from then it is advisable to have lymphatic drainage and treat the scars with rosehip oil or with silicone patches as pressotherapy.
Physical exercise can be undertaken progressively and gradually from the first month onwards.
