I recently underwent a breast augmentation with Dr. Horn in Chicago and could not be happier with the results! I went with a silicone gummy bear implant that is 330cc moderate profile. I'm currently 1 week post opp
I had a breast implant removal/replacement and lift. Dr Horn is amazing. HIs consultation can be brief but don't let that steer you away. I took that as a sign of confidence with a Dr who doesn't have time to waste. After 2 days I had zero pain and was back to regular activity (avoiding lifting and rules given). I am so happy with this surgeon and plan to return for liposuction in the near future.
38 year old mother of 2. After breast feeding both my kids I was left with deflated breast and excessive axillary tissue.

A: Thank you for your question.
Icing can be helpful to reduce swelling post surgery. I typically recommend icing about 20 minutes on 20 minutes off for a few days after. It is always best to follow the instructions of your surgeon.

Each office will have their own policies. At our office we allow our patients to change their size at their pre-op but will not allow them to change after their sizing consent is signed. I recommend contacting your surgeons office to find out their policies.
A: Thank you for you question. I do not see any reason why you will need to remove the extensions prior to surgery. I recommend discussing directly with your Board Certified Surgeon. Good luck with surgery!
A: Thank you for your questions.
Bloating after surgery is very common. This should go away in a couple days. If not you can take a stool softener to help.

I typically advise my patients to drink protien shakes before and after surgery to help with recovery. Please check with your Board Certified Surgeon for instructions.
