• Sleep in an upright position and try not to sleep on your side for at least a month post surgery. 
• To avoid unnecessary swelling or bleeding, do not bend over, strain, exercise or do any other activities that could increase pressure in your chest during the first few weeks.
• You must wear your compression bra day and night for 8-12 weeks post surgery and you can switch to a good quality supportive sports bra during this time. Do not go braless for the first 12 months as you are actually still in the healing stage
  Once your stitches are removed (usually 7 days post op) massage your breasts to keep them softer, avoid capsular contracture and keep them in proper position. Your surgeon will advise you of the correct way to massage 
  

- its common to experience soreness, tenderness, or a tight sensation in the chest area. This discomfort can usually be managed with prescribed pain medications.
-Expect some swelling and bruising around the breasts, which may take a few weeks to subside.
-Some patients may experience temporary numbness or tingling in the breast area or nipples, which typically resolves over time.
-Some individuals notice changes in breast sensitivity, either increased or decreased. This usually stabilizes over time.

• Bleeding - Excessive bleeding during or after surgery can occur, potentially leading to the need for a blood transfusion or further surgical intervention.
• Infection - There is a risk of infection at the incision site, which may require antibiotics or additional treatment.
• Capsular contracture - When a breast implant is inserted, a scar capsule forms around it as part of the natural healing process. The capsule may sometimes tighten and compress the implant, causing the breast to feel firmer than normal. Capsular contracture can occur to varying degrees. If it is severe, it can cause discomfort or changes in the breasts appearance. In such cases, more surgery may be needed to modify or remove the scar tissue, or perhaps remove or replace the implant.
• Implant rupture - Breast implants are not lifetime devices and cannot be expected to last forever. If you decide to have a lift later in life then it is advisable to change the implant. The new implants available now are of a very high quality but they are still not expected to last a life time.
• Changes in Nipple Sensation - Some patients may experience temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensitivity following surgery.
  
• Breast Cancer Screening - If you are at an age when mammographic examinations should be conducted on a periodic basis, it will be important for you to select a radiology technician who is experienced in taking x-rays of augmented breasts. Additional views of your breasts will be required. Your plastic surgeon, in some instances, may recommend other types of examinations such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. An implant may obscure some of the mammogram.
• Other risks - Other risks include changes in sensation of the nipple or breast and changes in the ability to breastfeed.   Changes in sensation may either be increased or decreased or altered sensation. These changes may be temporary or permanent.Also, implant visibility, rippling, and asymmetry may also occur.
