Could you please let me know what are some of the risks of operating on tissues that are not completely healed and settled? I had my Breast Augmentation about 12 weeks ago, and have had healing problems on my wounds. I may need to go for surgery again if the problem persists.
I have read it somewhere in this forum that there are risks when it comes to operating too soon - less than 3 months from the previous surgery... What are some of these risks? And what do doctors normally do to try to prevent problems / further complications when they need to perform surgery to correct the problem? Many thanks for your opinions in advance.
If you are talking about a scar revision, you should wait six to 12 months as scars may soften, flatten, and change colors. If it the incision has not healed at all, then it might be more imperative to go in sooner. If the implant is infected, then you need to be treated sooner rather than later. Problems with the size, position, shape, or capsular contracture of the implant itself should be addressed on an individualized basis.
