Following cosmetic surgery patients experience some swelling and occasionally bruising of the breasts that lasts about 2 weeks although all patients react differently. Whilst the techniques used by the Dr. Solomos ensures the best possible continuity between the breast and nipples, thus increasing the possibility of breast-feeding after breast uplift surgery, this cannot however be guaranteed. After cosmetic surgery, patients might notice that the breasts feel quite firm and taut and are quite high, particularly along the edges of the incision site. This will be as a result of the normal healing process laying down elements of scar tissue to facilitate healing. With scarring Dr. Solomos will teach daily massage of the scars and provide silicone gel sheets which when applied to the scars improves their appearance, scars do fade and improve in time.
