Are my breast augmentation post-op symptoms healthy?

Follow Up With Your Surgeon
Feb 12, 2016

Hi
Latina2795, and thank you for posting your question. Postop pain or discomfort
at 1 week can be quite different from patient to patient. What you’ve described
certainly falls within the normal range for breast augmentation patients.
However, if something feels strange to you, I encourage you to call your
plastic surgeon’s office and schedule an appointment if necessary. That is what
your doctor is there for. I would certainly not want one of my patients to
worry for no reason or, in the…

Do I have tuberous breasts?

Looks Borderline to Me
Feb 12, 2016

Thank
you for reaching out to the specialists in this forum for advice. As you can
see, there is some difference of opinion among the doctors. Based on your photos,
it appears your breasts are borderline tuberous. You didn’t state your age, so your
breasts may still be developing. If you are self-conscious about your breast
size and shape, implants can add volume and roundness to them, or consider the
use of a highly-cohesive anatomically shaped silicone gel breast implant, such
as the…

Breast Implants with no Lift?

No Lift Needed
Feb 12, 2016

Thank
you for this question and for posting your photos. This is one of the most
common questions I hear from patients. I understand their desire to avoid a
breast lift, but I’m always honest in my assessment because I know in some
cases implants alone can actually worsen the appearance of sagging breasts.
That’s not true in your case. You have very little sagging, and your nipples
are at a nice position on your breasts and pointed slightly upward at an ideal
angle. You appear to be an…

What is going on here? Is this capsular constriction?

Capsular Contracture Unlikely, But Check With Surgeon
Feb 12, 2016

Hi, I’m
sorry that your recovery following your combination surgery isn’t going as
smoothly as you would want. It doesn’t appear that the issue is capsular
contracture, based on the photos you’ve posted. Of course, only an in-person
exam can determine what, if any, complication is occurring. It does look like the
breast lift incision isn’t healing the way one would hope at this point in your
recovery, but this may be related to post operative swelling alone. Even though
at 1 month you are…

Does areola incision have more risk for capsular contracture or any other complications than under

The Research Isn’t Clear Yet
Feb 12, 2016

That’s
a good question. I think you’ll find differing opinions among the specialists
who respond, partly because the research into this issue continues to evolve.
There are some studies that suggest making the incision at the areola is linked
to higher rates of capsular contracture, but they aren’t conclusive. One of the
techniques I use to lower the risk of complications such as capsular
contracture is using the KELLER FUNNEL™ 2 to insert breast implants. This is a
“no-touch” technique…

My wife is having her BA next Friday and I was wondering what items I should purchase to help her d

Preparing Now Is Ideal
Feb 12, 2016

Let me
first compliment you for taking an active role in planning for your wife’s
recovery. Having a support system is valuable for patients and actually leads
to greater satisfaction with the results. As for preparing, most plastic
surgeons provide detailed instructions regarding the recovery, including what
items to buy ahead of time. You and your wife should fill her prescriptions and
pick up any therapeutic products designed to minimize scarring that her surgeon
recommends. Additionally,…

Does this look like a hematoma?

It Doesn’t Appear to be Hematoma
Feb 12, 2016

Hi
kerryscholes. Thank you for your question. I’m sorry that this situation is
causing stress, but rest assured that as others have noted it doesn’t look like
a hematoma based on the photos you’ve posted. I would trust your plastic
surgeon that everything is OK. It’s common for each incision and breast to heal
differently. One breast may be more swollen than the other and there may be
bruising at one incision site and not the other. That said, don’t hesitate to
call your surgeon’s office…

How long should you wait to carry heavy things after Breast Augmentation?

Don’t Rush Things
Feb 12, 2016

This is a great question, because even patients who work
out and are careful about not lifting weights can forget and lift other heavy
objects when they’re not at the gym. Even if you feel perfectly fine after
about 5 days, you still need to avoid the type of lifting you describe for at
least 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. If you can keep the tray’s capacity below 10
pounds, that should be OK. Congrats on your recent surgery, and good luck to
you!

Do I need a breast lift???

It Doesn’t Seem You Need a Lift
Feb 12, 2016

Reaching out for additional opinions from specialists on
RealSelf is an excellent idea when considering cosmetic surgery. My
recommendation echoes most of the others’ opinions, based on the photos you’ve
posted: The position of your nipples indicates that you can get a good result
with breast augmentation alone. I would recommend round implants to provide
fullness in the upper part of your breasts. Of course, the implant size and
placement are additional factors to consider, but I think your…

Experiencing minor bruising and blood oozing on right incision 6 days post op Breast Aug. Does this

You Seem to Be Healing Normally
Feb 12, 2016

Congratulations on your surgery, and thanks for posting
photos along with your question. As most of the other specialists have said, it
appears that the minor bruising and oozing you’re experiencing is fairly
typical for 6 days postop. It’s understandable for patients to be concerned
whenever an incision oozes or turns a bit red. I normally remove the incision
dressings and answer these initial questions on the sixth day after the
surgery. Then at about 3 weeks postop, I again assess the…

Super confused! Can I get the results I want with just implants or do I HAVE to have a lift as well

Is a Lift Necessary?
Jan 15, 2016

Hi Rockybazinga, and thanks for
your question and for posting photos. Let me just say that being confused is
completely understandable and many other patients feel the same way. There is a
lot of information out there, and some of it seems contradictory. RealSelf is a
great resource, so you are taking positive and empowering steps — kudos! As
others have said in response to your question, it doesn’t appear that you would
benefit by combining a breast lift with your augmentation procedure….

5 weeks post op, one is bigger than the other. Any suggestions?

You’re Still Healing
Jan 15, 2016

Thanks for posting your photos and
for your question. It’s understandable to have concerns about your breasts’
appearance during the first several weeks after surgery — but have patience.
Because breasts usually heal at different rates and implants settle into place
at different times, breast asymmetry is common at 5 weeks post-op. The initial
results of your procedure look quite positive, and I encourage you to wait 3 to
5 months before assessing the final results. If you still have…

I want breast implants, but not sure about placement. I enjoy lifting & don’t wish to loose muscle

Submuscular Often the Best Choice
Jan 15, 2016

This is a good question, and it
appears you’ve already completed quite a bit of research about your procedure.
It’s true, as you’ve said, that placing implants below the pectoral muscle is
associated with fewer post-surgical complications and looks more natural than
implants placed above the muscle. Even though your decision should be made only
after discussing the options with your plastic surgeon, who will have a
complete understanding of your specific case, my advice is to take a…

Is this asymmetry normal? It’s been 3 weeks from my surgery.

Very Early in Healing Process
Jan 15, 2016

Hi vanecruz. Thank you for
including a photo and reaching out with your concerns. Yes, breast asymmetry is
fairly common 3 weeks after breast augmentation surgery because the breasts
rarely heal at the same pace. One breast may remain more swollen than the
other, or the implant in one breast may begin to settle earlier than the other
implant, which can lead to asymmetry. I understand how difficult it can be to
remain patient when you are excited to see the results of your investment, but…

I am considering BA, what is the difference between Board Certified in Plastic Surgery and Board Ce

There Is a Significant Difference
Jan 15, 2016

Your question is excellent, and it
is an important one for individuals considering elective surgery to ask if they
aren’t sure. Only surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery
(ABPS) meet the rigorous standards established by that board. A board-certified
plastic surgeon — certified by the ABPS — must graduate from an accredited
medical school and complete 5 years of additional training as a resident
surgeon in an accredited program, including 3 years devoted entirely to…
