It might be too early to consider a breast revision at thispoint in your recovery. I usually tell my patients that you are about 85% ofthe way to your final result in 3 months and achieve it by one year.Your final results following a breast augmentation are mostly present;including "dropping of the implant", when implants are below themuscle, within the first 3 months for most and certainly by a year. Breastimplants initially after surgery when placed in a submuscular position oftengive superior fullness that corrects itself with time, the "fluff anddrop" phenomena. In reality the pectoralis major muscle takes a while toadjust its size to accommodate the implant as well as occasional muscle spasmwhich keeps the implant projection higher than its final resting shape.Additional variables include:laxity of skin, size difference during priorpregnancies, position of implant,size of muscle, and size of implant.As the muscle relaxes the projection of the implant often increases and thebreast shape improves. Massage and use of a superior placed elastic strap canoften make this process go faster.The two breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may swell more,feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial shape. After completehealing, they will be more similar and natural. You must have patience, but ifthis causes concern, ask questions of the doctor or the nursing staff. I will explain in the link below.
Depending on the reason for #revision, it's typically best to wait approximately 6 to 12 months to undergo the next breast procedure. Matters such as sagging or drooping and size change will not improve with time. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation. It's best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeons who have specialized in breast surgery and cosmetic surgery are suitable to perform your breast augmentation. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision. Please be advised that each patient is unique and previous results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes.
You should wait at least four months to six months before considering a revision, as it usually takes this long for your breasts to settle. However, if you recovery rate is slow, then you should wait a little longer.
How Soon Can I Have a Revision Surgery After Breast Implants? I would advise waiting at least 3-6 months.
It depends on why you are dissatisfied. At the very least, it will take a few weeks for the tissue swelling to improve enought to allow revision. Discuss this very carefully with your plastic surgeon.
