After breast augmentation how many check ups do I have to go back for?

Thank you for your question.  The number of post procedure visits varies from office to office and surgeon to surgeon.  Our patients typically are seen within several days after the surgery, then at approximately 3 weeks, then at 6 weeks, then at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year.  Follow up after that is on a yearly basis and if patients are being screened by mammogram, they usually are seen after this study is performed.  Best wishes.

The exact number of visits after breast augmentation will vary by surgeon. A typical recovery in our practice involves follow up on day one, day seven, six weeks, three months, and yearly thereafter. This varies somewhat for patients who are traveling from out of town. Those patients would stay in town for one week after surgery. They would be seen on day one, day seven, and possibly at the six week time mark if they are able to return to the office.  Regardless, your surgeon will see you as often as needed to help guide and counsel you during their recovery period.

Thanks for your question.  Every surgeon has their own preference for follow-up appointments.  In my practice we generally see patients one week, six weeks, 3 months, and one year after surgery.  However, if a patient has any concerns we will see them much more frequently as needed.  Other patients find it difficult to attend follow-up appointments and they will simply call if they are concerned.
