After a breast implant exchange procedure, the breasts will be bandaged and a compression bra should be worn to ensure proper healing. Specific post-op instructions will be provided along with any activity restrictions during recovery. This will include how to shower, when and how sutures will be removed, and when exercise can be resumed. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort can be expected for the first few weeks which can be managed with pain medication and an ice pack.
Dr. Barone employs options and advanced techniques to reduce discomfort and downtime, including, intraoperative pain blocks with Exparel, naturopathic anti-inflammatory supplements, and lymphatic massage are utilized and can significantly shorten recovery times.

Over the course of several months, the swelling will continue to subside and implants will settle, revealing the true results of the breast implant exchange procedure. Patients can enjoy their fresh new implants with a reduced risk of complication and newly contoured breasts. Patients should continue to watch for signs of future complications and signs of a rupture.
