 Recovery after breast augmentation is generally smooth. Most patients can return to desk jobs in about 5 to 7 days, resume light activities in 2 weeks, and gradually return to workouts after 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and tightness reduce progressively, and final results become visible after about 2 to 3 months, once the implants settle into their natural position.
