It is best to relax for the first 10 days. Bruising is variable and usually located in the lower breast or chest. Seeing your best friends after 10 days is fine, but I recommend you wait at least 2 weeks before meeting new acquaintances. After 2 weeks you will feel more normal. After 3 weeks you should be almost back to your old self except with a new and improved body. It is not a good idea to exercise or increase your heart rate for 3 weeks from the time of surgery and no vigorous lifting or exercise for 6 weeks from surgery. This will help to diminish your swelling and improve the rate at which you heal.
