Breast Lift: Pain
Your breasts will be tender, bruised and swollen for a day or two after surgery, but your doctor will prescribe pain medication to ease you through this time. The pain should not be severe. After several days, most women find that acetaminophen is all they need.

You may be prescribed an antibiotic to fight infection.

Ice packs will help reduce swelling and soothe the incisions.

If at any time following surgery you experience fever, bleeding or other symptoms of infection, let your doctor know right away.
