🎗️ AFTER BREAST SURGERY: WHAT TO EXPECT & HOW TO RECOVER

You've had surgery. Now what?

Whether you've had a lumpectomy, mastectomy, reconstruction, or another breast procedure, recovery can come with questions about movement, tightness, pain, swelling, scar tissue, and getting back to the things you love.

Join a breast cancer rehabilitation physical therapist to learn what your body may experience after surgery—and how to support your recovery.

We'll cover:

• What to expect in the early stages of recovery

• When and how to start moving your shoulder and arm

• Tightness, pulling, pain, and changes in sensation

• Scars and scar tissue

• Swelling and lymphedema: what to know

• Returning to exercise and everyday activities

• When something is part of normal recovery—and when to talk to your medical team

• How physical therapy can help you regain mobility, strength, and confidence

Your surgery may be over, but your recovery is just beginning.

Bring your questions—we'll help you understand what comes next.
