It's not uncommon to experience some degree of bruising from any surgical procedure, just as breast augmentation and lift surgery. As long as you are not experiencing excessive amount of swelling and rapidly expanding bruising, then you should be fine. It's always a good idea to check back with your surgeon to make sure that the amount of swelling and bruising are within normal range and not excessive. Best Wishes,
Bruising is normal after breast enhancement surgery. I provide my patients with a Bruise-Pak to take after their procedures. Surgery90210
Bruising is common, especially with a lift. However, whether the amount might indicate a bleeding problem can only be determined by your surgeon. All the best.
Though bruising shouldn't necessarily be expected following a breast augmentation with a lift, it is not uncommon. It can reflect the dissection and "trauma" from surgery and other factors. However, it can also indicate on somewhat rare occasions the formation of a hematoma, the undesirable accumulation of blood within the pocket around the implant (which also has some untoward implications). Though there are signs which can help in this differentiation, it is best that you discuss this with your plastic surgeon who may or may not want to see you based on your situation.
Dear oly1234, Some bruising and swelling can be common after a breast lift with implants. I would be sure to visit your plastic surgeon to determine if your bruising is normal after surgery. Warmest wishes, Larry Fan, MD
Some degree of bruising/swelling is normal after breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Whether or not the bruising you are experiencing is “normal” will be best determined by your plastic surgeon on follow-up. It is also normal for the swelling/bruising to move downwards (south) or posteriorly ( towards the back) as time goes by. Again, best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for examination and probable reassurance. Best wishes.
Having bruising is very normal after surgery.it varies in each patient. It can last Up To 2 to 4 weeks.
Another unfortunate demonstration of the hazard of using heating pads on lifted skin (as in mastectomy, face lift, tummy tuck). Not enough info here for a specific suggestion. All the best.
Hello, There are few things that can be discussed with regards to breast lift versus augmentation and lift, however, your desire for upper pole fullness will require an implant (small one if volume is not the issue) since a breast lift alone will not give you the upper pole fullness that you...
Yes it can be done, but requires the most careful judgement. It depends on the condition of the tissues, the amount and kind of lift required, the areas of scar and irradiation. Consulting with a surgeon with considerable experience is essential. All the best.
