How Long Does Breast Revision Surgery Take and What Is the Associated Downtime?

It may be performed under local or general anesthesia and depending on what your doctor says, you may want to leave after you have recovered if medically advised, or stay overnight in the hospital.

Regarding your recovery, do note that:

  • You will have sutures and be on antibiotics and painkillers.
  • You will probably have bandages and drains and may need to wear a surgical bra or compression garments.
  • You can estimate a recovery period of a week to ten days.
  • You will also need to sleep with your upper body somewhat elevated and have limited movement in your arms for some time.
  • You can expect that it will take six to eight weeks for recovery.

Leyla Arvas is a sweetheart... I follow her and her clinic on Instagram as well... I think both the cleanliness and hygiene of the clinic and the friendliness, charm and beauty of Ms. Leyla Arvas are enough to explain and understand everything... I give it a ten out of ten ????

When I first came for ice epilation, I had question marks. As said, it is a painless application. It brings the solution. Thank you.

I get laser epilation service from here. My skin is very sensitive. That's why I receive service from experts in a polyclinic environment, with the best devices. Mr. Alihan did his job meticulously since the first session. The sessions progress very quickly with his respectful and level-headed conversation. He is very careful about hygiene. I go to my sessions with peace of mind in the pandemic environment. Thank you Mr. Alihan and Quartz family.
