What level of post op home care needed for breast surgery/reconstruction. Is two day hospital stay sufficient?

She is having tissue removed and an implant inserted with skin from her back bra line area used to replace the removed breast skin.

That should be fine BUT she will still be on 'light duty' for a while until her incisions are fully healed.

Check out this site, I believe they have a support section for breast reconstruction:
