Bruising and swelling are common for 1–2 weeks. Compression sleeves are worn ~4–6 weeks. Many return to desk work in 7–10 days; avoid heavy lifting and strenuous upper-body exercise for ~4–6 weeks or as advised.
Bleeding, infection, scars (widening/hypertrophy), wound-healing delays (especially near the armpit), asymmetry, contour irregularity, numbness, fluid collection and need for revision. We discuss risks in consent and monitor closely.
