Answer: Implant rejection Your nausea symptoms are not a sign of rejecting your silicone implants. Discuss your symptoms with your surgeon to find out what else may be going in.

Answer: Nausea and vomiting after a breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Silicone is an inert substance and not something that gets "rejected'. That is not the concern. You should see your surgeon to make sure you do not have an infection. There can be many reasons other than infection for nausea as well. Best to have this first evaluated by your surgeon and then potentially see other physicians if your surgeon rules out any post operative concerns.

Answer: Not implant rejection This does not sound like any type of rejection of the implants. You need to be evaluated by your primary care doctor to find out why you are having nausea.

Answer: Recommendation Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery! It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol. It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results. It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so.
