Immediately after breast implant surgery, it’s normal to have some discomfort and swelling in your breasts—in fact, your chest area is probably not going to feel or look quite like what you want it to for at least two (and possibly three) months after you have your procedure done!
Persistent discomfort or long-lasting aesthetic abnormalities may require revisional surgery.
Read on to learn about the most common risks after breast augmentation surgery!

Short answer: 2 weeks. Long answer: It depends on what you mean by safe!
Immediately after breast implant surgery, there are millions of tiny blood vessels that are trying to their best to heal. These new vessel connections are extremely delicate, and even the smallest elevation in heart rate or blood pressure can cause them to break or leak.
In a recent article in Women’s Health Magazine, Amy Beal and Paige Greenfield say “Breasts are covered in a network of tiny blood vessels that become engorged with blood as heart rate and blood pressure rise during sex, literally causing your boobs to blush.”
More disrupted blood vessels means more bruising and swelling, and a longer recovery. If enough of these new vessels break, you could wind up back in the operating room with a hematoma, and more importantly, with a higher risk of developing a capsular contracture in the future. It takes about two weeks for these blood vessels to heal, so keep it PG until then!
After the 2 week mark, it isn’t the blood vessels that you need to protect; it’s the implant capsule. The capsule is a layer of scar tissue that forms around the implant and eventually helps hold the implant in place. The capsule takes about 6 weeks to fully form, so before this time it is relatively easy to disrupt. If the capsule is disrupted, your implants could shift resulting in asymmetry. This is the reason why upper body workouts aren’t recommended until 6 weeks after breast augmentation, but it’s also the reason why you need to be careful in the bedroom!
Short answer: PG until 2 weeks. Long answer: PG-13 until 6 weeks.

Breast augmentation was officially the most popular cosmetic procedure in 2010, and for a very good reason… the results are fantastic!
Those fantastic results take a little time though. It’s very common for brand new breast implants to sit a high on the chest, but this shouldn’t worry you. There are a few reasons why implants sit high right after surgery, but the most common reason is that your surgeon put them there on purpose to compensate for the fact that your skin will stretch over the first 2-3 months after the procedure. As the skin stretches, the implants descend into their final perfect position.
In the above picture series, you can see how brand new breast implants drop over the first 3 months after surgery.
The implants are sitting fairly high on the chest, and they are quite swollen. The nipples are pointing down just ever so slightly because of the high position of the implants, and this gives the illusion that the breasts are sagging a bit. This is entirely normal and expected at only one month after surgery.
You can see that the implants have descended a few centimeters, and the nipples are in the center of the implant. The illusion of sagging has disappeared, as has most of the swelling.
The implants have dropped into their ideal position, and the swelling has completely resolved. The nipples are in the center of the implant, and they are now pointing just slightly skyward. This new position reflects the final few centimeters of implant descent, and the ideal position for breast implants in relation to the overlying breast.
If you have any questions about breast implants or breast augmentation surgery, feel free to stop by the office, call, email or text! We’re always happy to hear from our clients, patients, and readers!

Are you thinking about getting a breast augmentation? You’re not alone!
Over ten million cosmetic procedures were performed last year, and the number one procedure continues to be breast augmentation surgery. The technology for breast surgery has improved in leaps and bounds in recent years, and with each new advancement comes more choices. Lots more choices!
One of the most important decisions you’ll have to make is what kind of incision your doctor will make when they insert your implants. This is almost as big of a decision as choosing the size and style of your implants, since your scar placement can change the aesthetics of your overall result.
Not sure which type of incision is best for you? Keep reading to learn about the pros and cons of all four incision decisions!

Are your implants getting enough attention? Ahem, from you that is!
It’s tempting to believe that once you’ve made the decision to get breast implants, that the process is a done deal. In fact, many women believe that the only time they’ll ever have to thing about their implants again is when they’re admiring themselves in a hot new bikini!
For the most part this is true. Implants do not require a lot of maintenance. But there is one thing that I feel all women with breast implants should make sure to do periodically: get MRI scans of their breasts.

Take a look at Renee Zellweger’s brand new breast implants!
I know what you’re thinking… “OMG, they’re way too big for her!” How do I know that? Because Renee is probably thinking the same thing…
Brand new breast implants always look too high and too big for the first few weeks after surgery… Just ask Haylie Duff 🙂
A good plastic surgeon knows that all breast implants drop just a little over the first 3 months after surgery, so to compensate for this, the implants will often be placed a touch higher during the original procedure. New implants also look bigger at the beginning because of swelling, but even though most women think “Whoa, these are too big!” when they see their new boobs for the first time, they usually wish they could go back to the bigger size once the swelling goes down.
Remember, the most common complaint after breast augmentation surgery is “I wish I had gone a little bigger”. If they look perfect to you the first time you see them, chances are that you’ll be a little disappointed when the swelling goes away. Don’t forget this when you’re picking your perfect size!

Pregnancy brings on a lot of changes to a woman’s body, and as any woman knows, these changes aren’t limited to the baby bump!
Your breasts also go through some changes due to hormone fluctuations. The onset of lactation will almost always lead to a temporary size increase, but the effect that this will have on the post-pregnancy appearance of your breast implants is less predictable.

Fat injections have been used for a long time to rejuvenate the aging face by restoring it’s youthful volume, and to create some not-so-natural “volume” in the rear during a Brazilian Butt Lift. But (no pun intended), until recently, fat transfer to the breast has been reserved for breast reconstruction after cancer surgery.
As technology advances, the number of clinical applications for fat transfer procedures continues to rise. And since breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the country, some people are wondering whether breast implants are still the best for the bust.

Read about this tremendously disturbing report from CBS Atlanta about an ever-increasing problem in the world of cosmetic surgery: unqualified doctors performing cosmetic operations.
An Eye Doctor… that’s right, Eye Doctor… had to call 911 from his own office to save the life of a patient that was bleeding to death on his operating room table. How do you bleed to death from eye surgery you ask? Well, that’s the kicker… he wasn’t performing eye surgery at all! He was giving his patient breast implants!

Performing breast augmentation “awake” (local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia) is getting a lot of attention nowadays because it’s being presented as a “safer” alternative. But is it actually safer?
That’s the question that’s been posed to some of the most experienced plastic surgeons in the country, and the answer is a resounding “no”. Take a look at this VIDEO interview from the Plastic Surgery Channel, and remember to do your homework on your surgeon before you sign up for anything that sounds too good to be true. Many of the “surgeons” offering awake breast augmentation aren’t fully-trained plastic surgeons, and some of them aren’t surgeons at all!
