Accepted Answer

Question 2

how long do incisions itch after breast augmentation!?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps 3 months: The acute and sub-acute stages of healing encompass about 3 months postoperatively. During this time, sensory nerve endings are re-establishing a relationship with the healing incisional sites.

Question 3

i had breast augmentation done 3 days ago and my incisions itch so bad! any advice as to how minimize the itch?

Accepted Answer

Itching a few days : After breast augmentation is very common. Antibiotic ointment may help. Since you are only 3 days postoperative, it is best to call your plastic surgeon to see what he or she would like for you to do.

Question 8

how long should i stop exercise before breast augmentation surgery?

Accepted Answer

Exercises before AUG: Each surgeon will have their own pre operative protocols. I ask my patient to refrain from excessive chest muscle use for 1 week prior to sub muscular implant placement..

Question 9

can you tell me about regrets from getting silicone breast augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Silicone Implants: In the early 1990s, concerns were expressed regarding the risks of silicone breast implants. After 14 years off the market and lots of research, there is no evidence that silicone breast implants cause any systemic health problems. While there are always a few people who regret their decision to have surgery, the majority of patients are extremely satisfied with their results and happy they did it.

Question 10

planning to have breast augmentation, do i also have to have a mastopexy?

Accepted Answer

Have to?  No... But.: If you are choosing to have breast augmentation because your breasts have "deflated" after child-bearing and breast feeding, AND there is a lot of drooping, it may be a good idea.  Breast augmentation puts a saline or silicone filled balloon under your breast or muscle.  If you have a lot of drooping, that balloon will droop down too!!!  A mastopexy lifts the breast up to a more youthful position.
