When you choose breast augmentation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rudy Coscia, knowing what recovery will be like helps you feel prepared, confident, and in control of your experience. Whether you visit our Sacramento or Granite Bay location, Dr. Coscia provides clear guidance tailored to your needs so you can heal comfortably and safely.
The First Few Days After Surgery
You’ll go home the same day as your procedure. During the first several days, it’s completely normal to feel tightness or pressure across your chest as your body adjusts to the implants. Dr. Coscia provides detailed instructions on how to rest, care for your incisions, and manage discomfort.
Resting with your upper body slightly elevated often helps reduce swelling and makes those first days much more comfortable. This is your time to relax, recover, and let your body begin adjusting to its new shape.
Early Healing and Adjusting to Changes
Over the next one to two weeks, you’ll notice steady progress. Most women find they can move more easily, return to light daily activities, and feel more like themselves again. Swelling gradually decreases, and the implants begin settling into a more natural position.
You’ll see Dr. Coscia for follow-up visits so he can monitor your healing and reassure you about what’s normal at each stage. His experience in breast surgery gives you clarity and peace of mind as your body changes.
Returning to Normal Activities
Once Dr. Coscia approves it, you can slowly resume low-impact exercise — usually a few weeks after surgery. More strenuous workouts and heavy lifting require additional healing time, and he’ll give you specific guidance based on how your body is recovering.
This stage is where you’ll really start to enjoy your results. Clothes tend to fit better, your shape becomes more refined, and your confidence grows as swelling fades and the implants soften naturally.
Long-Term Results
Your final results will continue to develop over the next few months. As tissues relax and swelling resolves fully, your breasts take on a smooth, soft, natural contour. Dr. Coscia and his team follow you throughout this process to make sure everything is progressing exactly as expected.
With stable weight and healthy habits, you can enjoy long-lasting improvement in volume, shape, and balance.
