Symptoms and Care

Capsular Contracture Prevention Medication: Skin issues (itching, rashes, hives) may occur. If symptoms appear, stop taking the medication.
It is preventive, so skipping it will not cause capsular contracture.

You may feel reduced sensation around the breasts and nipples after surgery. Sensation typically returns gradually over 6 months.

Sharp or tingling pain around the breasts and nipples may occur but improves over time. This is a common symptom as sensation returns.
Apply moisturizer to prevent irritation before wearing a bra.

The skin may feel dry and tight as it stretches after surgery. Apply moisturizer frequently.

Radiofrequency treatment begins 2 weeks post-surgery to aid recovery.

By 3 months post-surgery, the breast shape becomes natural, and the texture softens.

Face Washing / Showering

If Dermabond is used on the incision site, showers are allowed after 2 weeks. Avoid scrubbing or forcibly removing the bond.

If stitches are present, light showers are allowed the day after stitch removal.

After showering, apply moisturizer (e.g., body lotion or oil) frequently. This prevents dryness, reduces tightness, and helps with skin elasticity.

icon

Stitches / Scars

After Dermabond naturally falls off, manage the scar with scar ointments or patches (recommended for 6 months to 1 year).

If stitches are present, apply scar ointments or patches 2 weeks after stitch removal (recommended for 6 months to 1 year).

For early scar care, silicone-based ointments are recommended for their moisturizing benefits and prevention of keloid scars.

Dissolvable sutures are used inside the incision. The scar may feel firm initially but dissolves over 6 months.
If stitches are exposed or cause pain, consult the hospital.

Scar laser treatment may be performed after 6 months.

If needed, scar management can include steroid injections after consultation with the doctor.
