Anaesthesia and hospitalization Reconstruction procedures are almost always done under general anaesthesia. Hospitalization varies according to the illness and the technique applied. The duration varies according to the zone undergoing treatment (one or both breasts). Convalescence Medication includes the application of specific antiallergic plasters and the use of an elasticized bra beginning on the second day. Swelling tends to disappear in about a week, while potential bruises will take two to three weeks to disappear. Depending on the technique used, sutures may be internal or external. In the latter case they will be removed after 7-14 days. |
