Before future wife Mota met him, her biography was not advertised and very little was known about the girl. Until now, she's only had one serious relationship with a simple Kyiv guy, they met for only four years, but broke up after a showdown without any scandals. She did not remain alone for long, but acquaintance with a celebrity was not her goal. Matvey Aleksandrovich Melnikov found a photo on Instagram and after some time wrote to Maria.


For a whole week they actively corresponded and the singer Mot offered to meet in person, their first date was in Moscow when Maria met her friend, so it is very difficult to call him full-fledged. Maria really liked Matvey Melnikov at first sight, so she immediately agreed to a second date. When they went to rest on Koh Samui, Mot proposed, at that time they lived in a luxury hotel and he gave his beloved and future wife the most beautiful ring, the atmosphere at the same time was romantic, the wedding was quite magnificent and grandiose, Mot's friends and acquaintances from show business were invited.


The personal life of Maria Melnikova was quite eventful, at the age of 17 in her hometown she took first place in a beauty contest, she also took part in various fashion shows, in advertising photo shoots, and after the wedding, the wife of the rap artist Mota completely devoted herself to him. Maria is responsible for family comfort at a time when her husband is on numerous tours and devotes himself to creativity. A wife is a muse for her husband, thanks to which Mot writes rather touching compositions, takes his wife to shoot in his videos. Maria does not forget about her projects, for this she finds time separately, does charity work and helps orphanages.

Baby Mota

The popular rapper from Black Star Matvey Melnikov (Mota) wife gave birth to an heir. This event became so joyful that they wrote together about their feelings on Instagram, now Mot wants to feel these feelings with his wife and daughter, whom she is already asking Maria. After giving birth, she looks great and she will not need any plastic surgery. This is a full-fledged family, parents will be loving and will do everything for their children. The name has not yet been advertised anywhere, but the first frames can already be seen in in social networks, they appeared as quickly as the wedding. Spouses thank each other microblogs for attention and support.


Mot and Maria not only registered their relationship with the registry office, but also got married, believing that the family would be stronger. happy news Mot described the upcoming events of 2018 in his video, after which the pregnancy was no longer hidden, and his wife was photographed in a bikini on the beach. Mot always comes to secular parties with his wife, she also accompanies him at various concerts, and Maria Melnikova appears in front of reporters in new chic dresses. There are a huge number of photos of this amazing couple in the press. Mot is very glad that a son was born first, so later he will become an older brother for his sister.

Mota's wife's past

Not so long ago, Mot did not joke very well over Olga Buzova, her resentment was so deep that in response the girl said that she could tell a lot about Maria's past. Even despite Melnikova's morale, Olga made it clear that there was no need to get into her personal life and hinted that his wife was a former escort. If you look at what the press wrote about, then Masha was attributed to Timati, allegedly after the right of the first night, he simply gave her to Mot. Probably, in this case, Mot simply does not want the topic of his personal life to be discussed publicly, so he does not answer Olga Buzova in any way.

Rehabilitation after mammoplasty is no less important and responsible period than the operation itself. The results of the procedure, the possibility of developing complications and side effects largely depend on the implementation of all recommendations and prohibitions during this time.

Rehabilitation after breast augmentation takes about two months. In order for the implants to take root in the mammary glands, it will take at least six weeks. The entire rehabilitation period can be divided into two stages:

  1. Postoperative - characterized by a large number of strict restrictions and obligations, the implementation of which is aimed at avoiding postoperative complications. Lasts a month.
  2. Recovery is a less rigorous stage, during which all efforts are aimed at restoring the bust, pectoral, and shoulder muscles after surgery. A little physical activity is already allowed here, therapeutic exercises are welcome.

Rehabilitation by days after breast augmentation is as follows:

Day Rehabilitation actions
First After the operation, the patient is under the supervision of a doctor and junior medical staff, so that in case of complications or consequences of anesthesia, medical assistance can be provided immediately.
The first day is quite painful for a woman, as she moves away from anesthesia. In most cases, doctors prescribe painkillers, sometimes antipyretics, as well as an antibiotic to prevent inflammatory and purulent processes. Immediately after the operation, you can not lie down, you can sit, take a semi-recumbent position. By evening, with positive dynamics, it will be possible to get up, walk around a bit. You can drink no earlier than three hours after the procedure, and eat a little - five hours later. In case of great thirst, wipe the lips with a cotton pad moistened with water.
Second The doctor examines the patient. If all is well, the drainage is removed and the dressing is done. In some clinics, under favorable circumstances, a woman is allowed to go home on the second day, in some - on the third.
Third fourth This period is characterized by home mode. A woman should not overexert herself physically, but moderate walking is useful for her.
Fifth The patient must come to the clinic for examination and dressing.
sixth - eleventh The woman is slowly returning to the preoperative way of life. You should still refrain from excessive physical activity, sports and lifting even minor weights.
Twelfth day The penultimate visit to the clinic for examination is scheduled.

The next and last visit to the hospital will be in the sixth week after the operation.

One and a half to two weeks after plastic surgery, you can start light homework. Sports training can be started only after a month, after consulting with a doctor.


In order to prevent the development of complications, a woman must clearly and strictly follow the recommendations and not overstep the doctor's prohibitions.

In the first three hours after the operation, the patient should not drink, in the first five hours - to eat, the first four days - to take a shower.

It is forbidden during the first week after mammoplasty:

  1. Lie down and sleep on your stomach.
  2. Raise your arms to a level above the location of the shoulders.
  3. Lift weights (more than 1 kg.).
  4. Make sudden movements.
  5. Tilt your body down.

You can start physical training no earlier than one month after the procedure. Throughout the rehabilitation period, stress, depression, any nervous tension, feelings, significant changes in body weight are contraindicated.

Particular attention should be paid to the diet. It is forbidden to drink alcohol, smoke. You should limit sweet, salty, spicy, fried, fatty foods. It is not recommended to drink a lot of liquid.

During the year it is forbidden to go to the solarium, bath, sauna, is under direct sunlight, take a hot bath.

Features of bust care


How long does the breast hurt after mammoplasty? chest after plastic surgery at first it will be painful, swollen. Hematomas, bruises can form on the mammary glands. This should pass within two or three weeks. Pain and swelling of the mammary glands can disturb a woman in the first month with varying intensity. However, if these sensations are very pronounced, you should consult a doctor.

During the first two months, the bust is unnaturally raised up. After this time, the implants are fully implanted and the breast is lowered into its natural position.

In the first two years after the operation, there may also be problems with the sensitivity of the breasts, halo and nipples: they can either be too sensitive (especially to burning, irritation, pain) or lose sensitivity completely or partially. Despite the fact that this may be a variant of the norm and after a while everything will pass, such symptoms should be reported to the doctor.

In order to prevent complications and achieve a speedy recovery of the breast, a woman should carefully care for the mammary glands until the sutures are completely scarred. Seams should be given special attention - to prevent infection from entering them, to monitor the state and dynamics of healing.

Seam processing


The seams after mammoplasty are covered with a bandage to prevent infection and protect from external irritating factors. During scheduled visits, the doctor changes the bandage and treats the stitches with an antiseptic. It is forbidden to wet the bandage and remove it yourself. The first 4 days, showers are taken exclusively in areas below the waist.

After two weeks, the bandage is removed and, if necessary, the scars are cleaned. In the case of using self-absorbable threads, the sutures are not removed - after a certain time they will dissolve on their own. If a dry crust has formed on top of them, it cannot be torn off until it itself falls off.

If the stitches bleed for a long time, are very reddened, irritated, become visible or begin to be felt, you should consult a doctor to rule out infection. In some clinics, after the operation, the patient is prescribed a five-day antibiotic regimen to prevent inflammation of the wounds from the possible ingress of bacteria, infections, and painkillers are also prescribed.

Tool type Peculiarity Preparation example
Antiseptics At home, the incision site can be treated with an antiseptic solution recommended by the doctor. It can be: iodine, pure brilliant green or its solution, potassium permanganate solution, pure alcohol, chlorhexidine, miramistin, hydrogen peroxide.
Healing ointments Four weeks after the plastic surgery, the stitches can be treated with moisturizing wound healing creams. This will speed up their healing. Vishnevsky ointments, Contractubex and Dermatix, Vulnuzan, Methyluracil, Solcoseryl, Mederma, as well as creams with vitamin E.
plasters Many doctors advise sticking a special silicone patch over the stitches until they scar. Their use accelerates the healing process and protects wounds from external irritating factors. Mepiform, Hudrofilm, Fixopor, Kosmopor.

The specific type of drug and its brand should be selected by the doctor who performed the operation. It is forbidden to make a decision on the use of any drug on your own.


The first two months after plastic surgery, a woman should wear compression underwear. The first month it is used for the whole day, not even taking it off at night. Starting from the second month, it is mandatory to wear it during the day, but the bandage can be removed before going to bed.

How much it will take depends on the dynamics of bust recovery. Some women wear it for 1-2 months, while others cannot take it off for 3-4 months.

The significance of this linen is very high in the rehabilitation period:

  1. The compression bodice supports the chest, fixes the implants in the anatomical pocket, preventing their displacement, seam rupture, skin stretching.
  2. The compression created by such a bra activates blood flow and lymph flow, reduces inflammation, swelling of the mammary glands, and prevents the appearance of pain.
  3. Such underwear provides the skin with air exchange, protects the chest from external irritating factors, injuries, and prevents stretching of the seams due to physical exertion.
  4. A compression bra limits the mobility of the glands, which contributes to their speedy recovery, reducing the load on the back and shoulder area.
  5. Thanks to him, the chest occupies an ideal position, does not squeeze, does not move in different directions.

Now you can find a lot of options for compression underwear. good choice will become a bodice with the ability to adjust the level of compression in order to choose the necessary values ​​according to the pace of recovery.

Refusal of compression underwear can nullify all results plastic surgery and lead to the following:

  • Displacement of implants.
  • Stretching, rupture of seams.
  • Dropping of the chest.
  • bust asymmetry.
  • Skin stretching.
  • Injury to the mammary glands during physical exertion.
  • The need for a breast lift.
  • The need for a second operation due to displacement, rupture, reconstruction (deformation) of implants.

After the permission of the doctor to remove the compression top, care must be taken to purchase comfortable, soft and non-constricting underwear. In addition, the new bodice should support the chest and not squeeze it, have wide straps and a deep cup. You can return to classic underwear 1 year after the operation.


The first three days it is forbidden to swim in the shower and bath in general. Starting from the fourth day after mammoplasty, you can take a shower in the area below the waist. After removing the dressing from the seams, it is allowed to bathe in the shower completely, however, it is permissible to take a bath only a month after the operation.

Bathing water should not be cold or hot, only warm (37-37.5 degrees). The shower jet should be diffused, not directed.

In no case should the chest be rubbed with a towel. It is better to gently blot it with a non-hard towel until it dries.

It is not recommended to frequently use soap or gels to wash the breasts. It is better to do this no more than twice a week, and the rest of the time just wash with water. Frequent use of soap will dry out the skin, which will delay healing.

Four weeks after the operation, you can start using regular moisturizing skin care creams based on vitamins E and A, oils, herbal extracts. It is good if they additionally have wound-healing properties. These can be means:

  • Mom Comfort.
  • Johnson's baby.
  • "Baby Pharmacy" from VITEKS.
  • Mothercare it's your body.
  • Cream "Children's" of any company.
  • Cream Avent.

Natural oils and mummy powder can be added to the cream. It is allowed to apply alginate masks and algae wrap (not warming).


Massage of the operated breast after mammoplasty can reduce the risk of complications after surgery. For the first time, a doctor shows a woman the technique of therapeutic massage, then she must do it at home on her own, at least every other day.

The best time for a massage procedure is in the morning. The duration of the massage is set by the doctor in accordance with the tendency to recovery.

Massage should begin no earlier than the fourth day after the operation. For the first two to three weeks, light circular strokes of the mammary glands will be enough. When massaging the left breast, it is supported with the left hand from below. Index, middle and ring fingers right hand put together, place the pads on the circumference of the glands and carry out soft circular movements with them, starting from the axillary region, in a clockwise direction towards the collarbone. Similarly, the procedure is performed with the right breast, only the supporting and massaging hand changes.

From the fifth or sixth week, you can start doing lymphatic drainage massage. It activates blood flow and lymph flow, promotes the healing of sutures. Massage technique:

  1. The middle, nameless and index fingers hands, then they carry out circular movements around the circumference of the glands.
  2. Movements begin at the armpit, continue in a circular direction and end at the collarbone.
  3. Movement of the palms along the bust up and down, then left and right.
  4. Put your palms on the glands and in a circular motion carefully guide them towards each other.
  5. Put your palms on top of your chest and make gentle pressing movements.
  6. Stroke the bust along the contour clockwise.
  7. At the end, gently rub the glands with your palms.

Massage is best done while sitting or lying in front of a mirror to control your movements. The duration of the procedure is on average about 10 minutes. Before the procedure, hands should be soaked with linseed, lavender or coconut oil.

Massage is required in such cases:

  • Long-lasting sensation of implants.
  • Perceptible pain in the chest.
  • Numbness of scar tissue.

Massage is contraindicated in purulent, inflammatory processes that occur as a result of unsuccessful mammoplasty.


Recovery after mammoplasty involves refraining from excessive physical exertion and active sports training:

  • In the first three days, rest is shown.
  • In the next two weeks, walking, short walks are shown.
  • Starting from the second week, you can start light housework.
  • After the stitches heal and the bandage is removed, doctors recommend starting to exercise. therapeutic gymnastics to restore, strengthen the pectoral and shoulder muscles.

You need to start exercising gradually. A month after the operation, you can perform simple exercises: raising your arms up, swimming for short distances, raising your arms with small weights (up to 1-2 kg).

Two months after consulting a doctor, you can slowly start jogging, fitness, and aerobics. After three months, it is allowed to do stretching, rocking the press. Push-ups, chest presses, chest stretching are allowed only 25 weeks after the operation.

The duration of the period of abstinence from physical activity and the type of permissible loads largely depend on the density and size of the implants, the method of their engraftment. When installing denser, larger prostheses, using the endoscopic method of breast augmentation and the technique of axillary access, the rehabilitation period will be longer. Accordingly, it will be possible to start the loads a little later (for a week and a half).

The most common questions from women


If a woman wants her breasts to look lush, beautiful and rounded after surgery, she must follow all the rules of the postoperative period.

When can I sleep on my side and on my stomach?

For the first two weeks after surgery, you are only allowed to sleep on your back. Starting from the second week, a woman can go to bed on her side. Sleeping on the stomach is allowed no earlier than a month after mammoplasty.

Such requirements are justified by the fact that while lying on the side and stomach, the pectoral muscles tighten, the chest is pressed in - this can lead to displacement of the implants, the occurrence of severe pain, and the divergence of the sutures in the incisions.

When does sexual activity resume?

Because sex can be compared to physical activity by increasing heart rate and blood pressure, you can not start sexual activity immediately after surgery. In addition, the process may cause displacement of the implant or damage to the sutures.

As a rule, a medical ban lasts from 2 weeks to 1 month.

Is it possible to visit the bath?

During the entire rehabilitation period, and this is at least two months, it is strictly forbidden to visit the bathhouse. You can go to such an institution only after the stitches have completely healed. The advice of doctors is to refrain from bathing for at least 5-6 months after the operation.

The increase in temperature that occurs in the bath activates the production of sweat and lymph flow. Moisture in insufficient quantities enters the internal organs, is spent on lowering body temperature and saving it from overheating. Also, increased voltage is carried out on cardiovascular system. These processes prevent the healing of sutures and the restoration of the bust after plastic surgery. Violation of this rule can lead to the development of postoperative complications.

Pouring will also negatively affect the state of women's health cold water after bath. Additional stress on the body can lead to illness, because the patient's immunity is already weakened.

When can you shower?

You can take a shower on the fourth day after plastic surgery, but swimming is only allowed in the area below the waist. After the stitches are removed (approximately the second week after the operation), the shower is allowed to take a full shower.

Bathing in the bathroom is prohibited during the first month after surgery. In no case should the water when bathing be cold or hot. You can only wash warm water 37-37.5 degrees.

It is allowed to visit the pool 4-5 months after the operation.

Can I drink alcohol?

  1. For the first time after surgery, a woman may be prescribed painkillers and antibiotics, and their intake is not compatible with alcohol. Otherwise, adverse reactions may develop.
  2. Alcoholic drinks slow down the healing process, wound healing.
  3. Since the body is weakened after the operation, alcohol can lead to the development of diseases, exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Alcoholic beverages can be consumed no earlier than two months after the operation, but in any case not earlier than the complete healing of the stitches. The same ban applies to smoking.

When does the first menstruation come after surgery?

Menstruation after mammoplasty can, on average, be delayed for 1-2 months, since the body has suffered serious stress, needs a long recovery, and was also under the influence of anesthesia. Due to the endocrine changes occurring in the body, a temporary failure of the menstrual cycle is possible.

Normally, the process should stabilize and be accompanied by the usual symptoms: breast swelling, aching pains, irritability, mood changes, etc. If, with a positive dynamics of suture healing and no complications, menstruation does not begin after 2 months of rehabilitation, it is necessary to visit a gynecologist. The doctor may prescribe a course of hormone therapy.

Is it allowed to visit the solarium and sunbathe in the sun?

Women should refrain from sunbathing and visiting the solarium for a year after surgery. During tanning, the implant heats up quickly but cools slowly. Exposure to ultraviolet rays can lead to:

  • prosthesis deformities.
  • Compaction of fibrous (scar) tissue.
  • Breast asymmetries.

To correct such complications, a second operation is often required.

In addition, ultraviolet rays can lead to pigmentation in the area of ​​incisions and sutures, darkening of scars. In view of such consequences, visiting a solarium and sunbathing under the open sun is possible no earlier than a year after mammoplasty.


Throughout the rehabilitation period, a woman should carefully monitor her well-being and the condition of her bust. The following symptoms most often indicate the possible development of complications.

Rehabilitation after mammoplasty is a mandatory component of treatment, it takes a fairly long period of time, and is often accompanied by unpleasant and painful sensations. Mammoplasty is an operation to correct the mammary glands. For the fair sex, elastic and beautiful breasts are a matter of special pride. She gives confidence. Therefore, in order to achieve this, a woman sometimes agrees to any sacrifice.

When is Mammoplasty (Breast Surgery) Needed?

Mammoplasty itself is a surgical operation on the mammary glands, performed to change their shape or size. Plastic is not only a cosmetic procedure. In some cases, this is a necessary intervention to preserve the health of the patient.

Similar operations apply to:

  • ptosis(the chest becomes lowered, but its dimensions are preserved);
  • macrospathia(increased breast volume, retaining elasticity and position);
  • micromastia(congenital pathology, expressed in excessively small breasts);
  • gynecomastia(pathologically growing mammary gland in men).

Methods of mammoplasty are different and are applied depending on the reason requiring this intervention. When restoring the breast after a mastectomy (removal of the breast) or with an asymmetric location of the mammary glands, endoprosthesis is used. And you can find out about rhinoplasty of the nasal septum.

To correct sagging breasts, the skin and tissue under the breasts are removed and the remaining tissues are fixed in the correct position.

Breast implants

To correct the shape and size, a special prosthesis is used, which is implanted in the mammary glands. Most often, young mothers are interested in the issue of breast correction, in which, after feeding, it has lost its original shape and volume. A plastic surgeon can solve almost all the aesthetic problems that a woman has in this regard and in. Unlike a trip to the surgeon is required.

On the video rehabilitation after mammoplasty:

The essence of the problem

The next day, the woman is discharged home, where it is necessary to fully comply with all the doctor's recommendations. The sutures are removed on the 7-10th day. Particular attention during the rehabilitation period should be given to the seams and their care. Although all mammoplasty incisions are made in inconspicuous places, the scars that form as a result of tissue tension can ruin your mood.

To prevent the appearance of ugly scars and scars, you can use special patches and. If scars still appear, then them, as with a laser.

In the period after mammoplasty, the most unpleasant and fairly constant sensation is pain. Her appearance is considered the norm, only the intensity of sensations for each woman is different, as well as susceptibility. Pain directly depends on the characteristics of the operation. The most intense pains appear after the implant is placed under the muscle, as well as when very large endoprostheses are implanted. Patients feel the greatest discomfort in the first few days after the operation. They have a feeling that the chest can simply burst.

Through drug therapy with painkillers medicines and antibiotics severe pain disappear one week after the operation. Bruising and swelling are added to the pain.

Depending on the state of health, the individual characteristics of the woman's body and the degree of complexity of the surgical intervention, swelling and bruising can form both in the incision area and on the entire chest. This is also a fairly natural and normal phenomenon that disappears within a few weeks.

The appearance of fresh bruises and bruises should alert the woman and serve as a reason for an immediate visit to the doctor. Wearing compression underwear can help speed up the process of subsidence of edema and resorption of bruises. You should carefully control the amount of fluid consumed and monitor the body's thermoregulation. Under no circumstances should you overheat. In some cases, doctors may prescribe lymphatic drainage or a special regenerative massage. And you can find out about the plasticity of the wings of the nose by.

How to help the body recover during the rehabilitation period - recommendations from experts

In the period after mammoplasty, you should not expose the body to physical exertion. The body needs complete rest. It is strictly forbidden to sleep on your stomach, make sudden movements with your hands, bend over. The entire rehabilitation period should not lift weights and play sports, have sex, as this can lead to displacement of the implant and excessively increases the load on the pectoral muscles.

During the first weeks after surgery, patients may experience an increase in body temperature - this is a natural reaction of the body to the presence of foreign bodies(implants). At the same time, immunity is sharply reduced, which can lead to the development of inflammatory processes. To avoid this, it is necessary to strictly follow the prescriptions of doctors and accurately carry out the prescribed drug therapy.

On the video, the correct behavior after mammoplasty:

Alternative methods of rehabilitation and recovery after breast augmentation surgery

Postoperative massage

This procedure is prescribed, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, on the 5-6th day after the operation or after a few weeks. Breast massage is recommended in order to prevent the connective tissue capsule formed at the surgical site from becoming dense and thick. Sometimes such a capsule can compress the implant and significantly change its shape and location. Massage techniques should be shown only by a specialist doctor, they should be performed clearly and accurately so as not to provoke the appearance or increase in edema. And you can find out about rhinoplasty with fillers.

Skin care

Some women after surgery lose the sensitivity of the skin in the area of ​​mammoplasty. This is also normal. After a few days, these sensations pass. Immediately after the operation, due to the strong tension of the skin, the breasts appear young and youthful. But over time, especially without proper care, this visual effect fades away. Therefore, it is necessary to apply special creams, serums and lotions to the skin in the chest area, which tone the skin well and prevent the appearance of stretch marks.

It is necessary to strictly monitor nutrition and body weight - food restrictions

If the initial body weight changes significantly, then the volume of the chest also changes. Before the operation, it is necessary to stabilize the weight at a certain rate and maintain it during the entire recovery period, since a change in weight leads to rather unpredictable consequences. Therefore, there are food restrictions. An increase in body weight leads to the appearance of stretch marks and sagging breasts, and a sharp loss makes the implant visible under the skin.

Compression underwear

It is advisable to choose ordinary underwear that fixes and supports the breast well (bras with wide straps and deep cups) for a year after the operation.

For the video rehabilitation period after mammoplasty:

Why is it so important to follow all the recommendations of doctors during the recovery period after breast augmentation? Because mammoplasty is a rather complicated surgical operation, in which there is a risk of complications. Like any other operation, mammoplasty is stressful for the whole body of a woman. Therefore, one should be quite serious about choosing a clinic where such an operation will be performed. You need to carefully study the experience of the doctor who will perform the procedure. Close and serious attention should be paid to all external and internal factors accompanying such an operation, as well as the rehabilitation period. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the correction of the tip of the nose.

Despite the fact that rehabilitation after breast augmentation takes a lot of time, a woman is discharged in a day if the operation was successful. For a week and a half, the patient is at home, and on the 7-10th day, a consultation with the surgeon is scheduled. As a rule, the stitches are removed at the same time.

Pain during the recovery period after mammoplasty is the norm. Their intensity is different for every woman. It depends not only on the individual pain threshold, but also on the characteristics of the operation. For example, discomfort in the postoperative period will be stronger if the implant. The pain will be more intense in case of installation of large endoprostheses.

The greatest discomfort persists in the first 2-3 days after surgery. Sometimes during the rehabilitation period after mammoplasty, it seems to a woman that her breasts may burst. About a week after the operation, severe pain disappears in most patients.

How to help: take painkillers and antibiotics. They must be prescribed by a doctor at the time of discharge. If severe pain persists for more than a week, you should consult a surgeon.

  • bruises

During rehabilitation after breast augmentation, bruising almost always appears. Sometimes they are small and localized in the incision area, and sometimes they spread to the entire chest. You should not worry - in a couple of weeks all the bruises will disappear. But with the appearance of fresh bruises or bruises, you should consult a doctor.

  • Edema

Puffiness after breast augmentation is always observed, but the severity may be different. Normally, both the gland itself and the axillary region and even the stomach can swell. Severe swelling should go away in 10-15 days, and minor ones can last two to three months.

How to help: wear compression underwear, monitor the amount of fluid consumed, do not overheat. To reduce swelling during rehabilitation after mammoplasty, the surgeon may recommend a special massage or lymphatic drainage.

Seam care

Despite the fact that the incisions for implant placement are made in hard-to-see places, the scar can still spoil the picture. To prevent this from happening, during rehabilitation after breast augmentation, attention should be paid to the care of the sutures.

As the tissues experience increased tension, a wide scar may remain. A special plaster helps to make the scar thin - whole (for example, Meliform) or in the form of separate strips. It helps to reduce the seam and wearing compression underwear, which should be used for at least a month.

To make the incision site less noticeable, you can gently rub Contractubex or another similar cream. But it is necessary to wait for the complete healing of the scar: it should become light and soft. If you start using the cream too early, the seam will stretch and become rough and wide.

Physical exercise

The recovery period after mammoplasty should take place in complete rest. It is forbidden to sleep on your stomach, bend over, make sudden movements with your hands and raise them above your shoulders. The first week you can not lift weights more than 3 kg.

On the 7-10th day of rehabilitation after breast augmentation, you can start doing light housework, but the ban on bending and lifting weights remains. Doctors do not recommend driving for the first two weeks after mammoplasty.

Sports during the rehabilitation period should be excluded for at least a month. If you prematurely start to load the pectoral muscle, then the recovery time will increase and the implant may be displaced. You will also have to stop having sex for a month.

When the mammoplasty operation is left behind, at least milestone rehabilitation. It will not be possible to evaluate a new breast immediately, but only after a few months. It should be remembered that the success of the operation depends not only on a good surgeon, but also on the patient herself. All individual recommendations for breast reconstruction can be obtained from the attending physician, but the main stages and features of the postoperative period of mammoplasty are standard.

Early Recovery

After successful operation the patient is sent to the ward for a period of one to three days to the hospital. At this time, you can notice postoperative complications. For example, bleeding or reaction to anesthesia. However, with stable good health and a quick recovery process, discharge may take place earlier.

During the first hours, the patient must be taken out of anesthesia. At first it may seem that the breast is a little larger than planned, but after a while the swelling begins to subside and the desired size is acquired. Fresh stitches will be present on the body, so the attending physician prescribes painkillers.

As a result, the pain becomes insignificant and reduces to a slight discomfort. A day later, the doctor examines the sutures, makes a bandage and gives the patient recommendations for favorable healing.

Discomfort and pain after surgery will be more intense if the implant is placed under the muscle, they usually last 10-12 days.

Sometimes there is difficulty in breathing after the operation. This is due to a very tight bandage that is applied to avoid displacement of the implants and the correct formation of the future bust.

The first days may be a little difficult to get out of bed on your own, but already on the 3rd day you will begin to feel better.

With stable normal temperature, good health and the absence of primary complications, the patient is discharged home. The surgeon must give full instructions on rehabilitation after mammoplasty, lifestyle and prescribe the necessary medications. After that, the next, home period of rehabilitation begins.

For one or two weeks, a special medical bra will be placed on the chest, which must not be unbuttoned all this time. Short water procedures will be allowed only after its removal. Such measures are necessary to hold the breast in the desired position, exclude its mechanical damage and reduce pain.

The first week you need to be very careful and attentive to the chest. If any unexpected symptoms appear, you should immediately report them to your doctor.

During the same week, it is forbidden to play sports and carry weights. In addition, activities that increase blood pressure and increase heart rate are not allowed. It is recommended to rest more, lie on your back.

Rehabilitation in the first months after mammoplasty

At first, the bust may not look the best. Experienced plastic surgeons often fill the top of a breast implant with “extra” volume. Under the influence of gravity, the internal tissues of the breast silently fall down, filling the lower part with the required volume and the breast takes on natural forms. See new form not earlier than two months later.

The duration of rehabilitation after mammoplasty is affected by various factors: method of administration, age, size of sutures, well-being and personal characteristics.

Many patients are afraid of the density of the mammary glands, this does not give the desired naturalness to the touch. The mammary glands are dense due to edema. After 1.5–2 months, pronounced swelling subsides, the breast becomes soft and mobile. In addition, during this time there is an adaptation of the central nervous system to implants.

After mammoplasty, lifestyle will undergo some changes. If the patient's work is not related to physical labor, then in a week it will be possible to return to it.

After removing the stitches, it is advisable to eat in a certain way and observe a lighter daily regimen in order to avoid rises in blood pressure and blood clotting disorders. Most often, at this time, women take time off, so that the rehabilitation period takes place in the most comfortable, homely environment.

Consequences

The patient may experience several uncomfortable sensations.

pain

Tolerable, but unpleasant sensations may occur at first. Pain syndrome easily relieved with painkillers.

Edema

It is this syndrome that causes the greatest discomfort. Depending on personal indicators, the mammary gland itself and even the abdomen can swell. Slight puffiness subsides after a few weeks, after which it will be possible to evaluate the renewed breast.

To reduce swelling, you will have to walk in compression underwear all the time, do not overheat and monitor the amount of fluid consumed.

Bruises and bruises

Rarely appear. It happens in women with sensitive, thin skin. Special absorbable ointments can easily get rid of such troubles.

Since mammoplasty is a serious surgical operation, the doctor prescribes various medications for the first time of rehabilitation.

Medications

For favorable healing of the suture and prevention of inflammatory processes, a course of antibiotic therapy can be prescribed to patients.

To make the recovery process after mammoplasty comfortable, the surgeon can prescribe the following remedies:

  • Painkillers. Good for women with low pain tolerance. Pain after surgery is standard and occurs due to stretching of the internal tissues of the breast. There are drugs that relieve puffiness and other syndromes, but the pricing policy of such drugs is much higher.
  • Hormonal ointments.

In case of diseases or special recommendations, the doctor may prescribe a course of drugs in this direction.

Breast suture and skin care

The sutures are removed a few days after mammoplasty. This procedure and the first dressings are done by the doctor himself. However, some surgeons use absorbable sutures, so there is no need to remove sutures.

You will still have to come for a consultation on the healing process. The doctor explains how to care for the suture. It is advisable to use tinctures for alcohol, but ointments are prohibited for 20 days.

To avoid the appearance of a bright scar and swelling, it is better to use special regenerating ointments, such as Mederma and Contractubex. It should be remembered that the use of such ointments is allowed a few weeks after the operation. It is recommended to use them together with a light breast massage.

This will help to avoid tight seams and give the breast correct form. The massage technique must be shown by the doctor himself and his instructions must be followed exactly.

In the initial period of rehabilitation, it is strictly forbidden to use the following cosmetics:

  1. Stimulants products that contain mint, menthol, pine needles.
  2. fatty oils.
  3. Aggressive body scrubs.
  4. High content creams chemical substances and fragrances.

If the patient wants to have beautiful breasts without stretch marks, it is necessary to take care of the bust even after the recovery period. Special serums and lotions will help moisturize and nourish the skin of the chest. Scrubs will improve blood microcirculation. It is recommended to periodically use creams for stretch marks and do salon or home wraps.

After breast plastic surgery, it is necessary to wear special compression underwear (bandage) to avoid complications. The period of these measures is always individual.

The removal of the bandage will depend on the healing process of the breast. Someone in a month can comfortably wear ordinary underwear, and for some this process can take up to a year. But before the first month, compression underwear should not be removed.

If, after examining a doctor, it was allowed to switch to regular underwear, you should carefully consider his choice and pay attention to the following recommendations:

  • Form cups repeats the shape of new mammary glands.
  • Textile natural and hypoallergenic.
  • Bones elastic and do not squeeze the chest.
  • Straps wide enough to evenly distribute the load.
  • New linen comfortable and does not irritate the chest.

For six months, you can not wear bras without straps and with a push-up effect. This can lead to breast deformity or other complications. To avoid sagging breasts, walking without a bra is recommended only after complete healing.

Regeneration of the body is always accompanied by a number of restrictions. Breast augmentation is no exception.

For the first two weeks, a woman is forbidden to lift a weight of more than 2 kg, raise her arms, make sudden movements and bends. You will also have to postpone long trips, flights and housework for this time. At the time of admission medicines you must stop drinking alcohol.

An important aspect of rehabilitation is proper sleep. The first week you will have to sleep only on your back. Then, in the absence of pain, you can sleep on your side.

Sleeping on your stomach is allowed one month after mammoplasty. In addition, it is forbidden to have sex during the recovery period, as a woman’s blood pressure may rise and her pulse will increase, which will lead to unwanted complications.

Baths and saunas will have to be abandoned for several months, because the implant heats up and cools down more slowly than the rest of the body. Swimming and taking baths is also not recommended for the first months. Gently take a shower 4-5 days after the operation.

Under a special ban in the first 2-3 months is a solarium. It will be possible to sunbathe 3-4 months after the stitches have healed and with the use of a cream with high level protection. Such measures are necessary to avoid the occurrence of capsular contracture and unwanted pigmentation of the suture.

Sports and fitness

After mammoplasty, you will have to reduce physical activity. This will promote tissue repair and eliminate unwanted complications.

During the first week, the desire to go in for sports most likely will not appear due to pain and discomfort in movements. Physical activity should be introduced gradually, carefully developing muscles. But it is worth starting to work on the chest muscles only after 3-4 months.

After a month or two, you can start working with dumbbells weighing up to 2 kg. Swimming, stretching, abdominal exercises should be forgotten for several months after mammoplasty. Technically complex sports (kickboxing, rock climbing, yoga, tennis, etc.) are not recommended for six months.

It should be noted that during rehabilitation, you can only play sports in a sports or regular, but tight bra.

There are a lot of recommendations and restrictions for the rehabilitation period after breast augmentation, but all these measures are necessary for the successful recovery of the body. If you carefully follow all the recommendations and wishes of the doctor, you will soon be able to return to your usual way of life.
