MOTIVA PRESERVÉ RECOVERY TIMELINE
How soon you get back to your life.
Preservé is built around less trauma: no cautery, implant placement above the muscle, and a smaller hidden incision of roughly 2.5 cm. Dr. Piazza credits that technique for less swelling, less tightness and a faster return to normal — which is why this timeline moves the way it does.
-
24–48 HOURS
Up and moving at home
Most patients move around the house, prepare meals and care for themselves. Discomfort is usually mild and managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Walk, stay hydrated, keep incisions clean and dry, sleep on your back and wear your recommended support bra.
FROM THE KIT Arnica Montana supports bruising and swelling from the start. If you use the red light mat this early it must be wall-mounted — nothing rests against fresh incisions.
-
48–72 HOURS
Back to a desk
Many patients return to work at this point, particularly desk or remote roles, and resume light household tasks, short drives and comfortable arm movement. No heavy lifting and no strenuous upper-body activity.
FROM THE KIT Stamets7 runs daily straight through this stretch.
-
3–5 DAYS
Light errands
Light errands and most non-strenuous tasks are manageable without issue.
-
1–2 WEEKS
Light exercise returns
Typically cleared for light exercise — walking, gentle yoga, low-impact cardio — with swimming and cycling coming back around this stage.
FROM THE KIT Silagen starts only once your sutures are out and the incision has fully closed. Your surgeon confirms that date, not the calendar.
-
3–4 WEEKS
Fully cleared
Cleared for all activities, including heavy lifting and chest workouts.
FROM THE KIT Continue silicone scar therapy as directed.
