Bad pain and bruising after Bicep and Tricep implants?

Question

I had tricep implants placed 3 days ago. I am not suffering from severe pain in both arms. There is still significant bruising. Can this be compartment syndrome or an infection? How long should I wait before having to get them removed? Obviously I will ask mt Doc but I need second opinions. Thanks.

Do not diagnose yourself.  I perform bicep, tricep, deltoid and pec implants weekly. The worst thing you can do is diagnose yourself.  Seek attention from a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in exotic implants. He/she will determine what you need to ensure your safe recovery while maintaining great results.

Unfortunately there is no way to give you a good answer without examining you. Compartment syndrome is an emergency. While compartment syndrome is not likely, I would suggest you see your surgeon sooner than later to make sure that you dont have that or an infection. Obviously having some pain would be expected but if you have severe pain, you need to get checked. Best of luck.Paul Wigoda, MDpainlessbreastimplants.com
