Hello.If I decide to have a breast lift with implants for how long would it be recommended for me to stay home from work? I am a daycare teacher. Thank you.
When a patient decides to have surgery it is important to know what kind of recovery time will be necessary. A Breast Lift with Implants requires patients to take it easy for approximately one week, with no heavy lifting for 2 weeks. During a breast lift, the surgeon makes incisions into the breast tissue while removing a minimal amount of tissue and suturing everything together, leaving a more uplifted breast. Typically, there is not much pain. When Implants are also performed at the time of a lift, the surgeon normally places the implant below the muscle, which then can be more painful requiring some recovery. I would make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.
I got my implants in 1995 and have had no problems with them whatsoever. But, they are sagging a bit and I'm wondering if it's possible to have a lift without replacing them if they are in good condition. My second question is why are silicone considered to be a better choice if a leak is harder to detect than saline?
Is definitely possible to keep your implants, however your surgeon should make sure that they are still in good condition and not in need of replacing. You can certainly have a lift without removing the implants. If you or your surgeon wish to exchange the implants during your breast lift, then you would have the option of switching to silicone implants. Silicone implants are more durable now and so far, leakage has not been an issue as in the past. People like to exchange to silicone implants because they feel more natural. Either way saline or silicone implants add a nice fullness after a breast lift surgery.
I am 2 weeks post op, but one of my breast is higher(& bigger too) than the other. I believe the higher breast had more trouble with creating a fold during surgery. Some Dr's have told me they will start to fall and get closer over time. Is that true or will i need a revisement? Plus what is an revisement policy? Prior to surgery,the breast hung very low so this is a great improvement...but in clothes I can tell a difference & it bothers me, Plus one nipple has crazy arousal sensitivity.
At two weeks post op, it is common to have asymmetries. This is especially true if you were asymmetric to begin with because the lower side may have needed more work to get to the proper position. This could result in additional swelling. Ultimately, it takes several months to completely heal. Presently, you still have some swelling and with time they should improve. Continue to see your surgeon and discuss your concerns with him or her.
