Hi, I had a breast augmentation on the 18th December. Since then, I haven't seen my surgeon and he just cancelled my one month post operative appointment. I cannot reschedule for another month due to work constraints, is it imperative that I go? I feel like he hasn't tried to work with me to get a new appointment set up and that I'm not important to him. I have included a picure I took at 4 weeks post op.

Answer: Postop exam You should absolutely see your surgeon. No one on this site can perform and in-person examination on you to make certain that there is no capsule forming, they cannot discuss with you your satisfaction, give you an appropriate face-to-face feedback, and further instructions based upon what was found intraoperatively.Your one-month follow-up is the appropriate time for all of these things, and you certainly should not disappear after only being seen once. Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: 1 month post-op appointment blues... do I have to go? Thank you for your question. Having appointments canceled on you can certainly be frustrating, but follow-up is important, especially to ensure that the implants settle into the correct position, and that there are no issues. I would recommend communicating your frustration to your surgeon's office, and they will hopefully respond appropriately, which will both put you at ease, and give them a chance to right the situation. Best Wishes.
