Recovery after the installation of silicone experience: Royal, Ljubljana✓

The installation of silicone implants is one of the most common aesthetic procedures worldwide. It aims to increase breast volume, correct asymmetry, or facilitate reconstruction after various medical interventions. Depending on the desired outcome and the patient’s anatomical characteristics, the implants can be placed either above or below the muscle, using different surgical approaches, such as under the breast, through the armpit, or via the areola.

Regardless of the technique used, recovery is a crucial aspect of the process. It significantly impacts the patient’s final appearance and overall satisfaction.

Experiences of Women Who Have Undergone Silicone Implants and Their Recovery

Recovery after silicone implant surgery is a personal and unique experience for each individual, influenced by numerous factors, including physiology, the type of procedure, implant size, and healing speed. Despite these differences, many women share similar patterns in their experiences—ranging from excitement and anticipation to the initial days of discomfort, culminating in the moment they see a more confident version of themselves in the mirror. Hearing the authentic testimonies of those who have embarked on this journey can be invaluable, as it helps others prepare better, understand each step of recovery, and make informed decisions.

Decision and Preparation for Surgery

Most women who opt for silicone implants emphasize that the decision itself was the most important step. This decision often stems from years of dissatisfaction with breast appearance, a decline in self-confidence after childbirth or breastfeeding, or a desire to feel more feminine and confident in their bodies.

"The decision didn’t come overnight. After my second child, my breasts completely lost their volume. I felt like I wasn’t the same woman anymore. Thanks to the wonderful team at the Royal Clinic, I smile again when I look in the mirror." - Ankica, 34 years old

The First Days After the Operation

The initial days after surgery are typically the most challenging. Most patients experience tightness in the chest, slight pain when moving, and discomfort while sleeping. During this time, following the doctor’s instructions, resting, and proper care are essential for a speedy recovery.

"Honestly, the first 48 hours were difficult for me. I felt some pain and pressure in my chest, but the medication helped. The most important thing was knowing that everything was fine and that these sensations were normal. The medical staff was available to me at all times, which provided a sense of security." - Jana, 29 years old

The Course of Recovery and Return to Daily Activities

Most patients recover gradually. In the first week, avoiding any physical activities—especially those that involve lifting the arms—is recommended. Wearing a special medical bra is mandatory to ensure the implants settle correctly.

"After two weeks, I could manage basic household chores, but I waited nearly six weeks before exercising, as my doctor advised. The best part was that my breasts began to look more natural every day." - Marina, 37 years old

Changes in the Body and Emotions

In addition to physical changes, many women report experiencing emotional transformations. A new figure often leads to increased self-confidence, satisfaction with appearance, and a more positive self-image. Many women realize only then how much dissatisfaction with their own bodies had been weighing on them.

"I couldn’t believe how much more confident I became. I started wearing outfits I wouldn’t have even considered before. I’m grateful to myself for taking this step." - Ines, 31 years old

Challenges During Recovery

As with any surgery, there may be minor challenges, such as a tightening sensation, discomfort when moving, or a feeling of having a foreign body that diminishes over time. In rare cases, swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur; however, with proper post-operative care, these issues typically resolve quickly.

"In the first days, I felt like my body was 'telling' me something new was there. But every day got easier. Next time, I would do everything the same way, only sooner!" – Tara, 39 years old

How Long Does Full Recovery Take?

Full recovery can take anywhere from 6 weeks to several months, depending on the technique used, the size of the implant, and individual healing processes. Most women return to their daily activities within two to three weeks, but they should only resume more strenuous physical activities following their doctor's advice.

Positive Recovery Experiences After Silicone Implants

Based on numerous testimonials, it can be concluded that recovery after silicone implants is a worthwhile challenge. With proper preparation, a responsible approach, and support from a professional team, most women quickly enter a new phase of life full of smiles, increased self-confidence, and self-satisfaction.
