Hello, I am 8 days post op and today I have started feeling really unsure about my decision. I haven't felt this before and I don't know why because I was thrilled and did my research before undergoing surgery. I am happy with my results but I have been feeling worried that my augmentation will cause me future problems such as cancer or other illnesses. I hope this is just a phase that will pass. Is this typically normal for patients to go through depression of this sort? Thank you!
Answer: Depressed and emotional after BA Hello, it can be an adjustment for some people after having this surgery. It's important to discuss this with your surgeon, family doctor, and others who can support you and help you through this process.

Answer: Depression after breast augmentation Hi. Sorry to hear you are having some depression after your surgery, but this is actually not that uncommon. I look at it as similar to how some women have depression after delivering a child. I think that sometimes the overall stress of the situation and the surgery, including the excitement and anticipation leading up to the surgery as well as possible nervousness et cetera can all play into this. Fortunately, this tends to be a relatively short lived dip in the emotions during the recovery process. Certainly, if this were to get very significant or more severe, then you should see your primary care provider and/or surgeon to help you through the process. Good luck and take care,Dr. Howell

Answer: Depressed, and emotional following breast augmentation? Thank you for your question. Healing after plastic surgery is a process and the earlier parts are the most challenging. Emotions are a big part of the process as well. Patients may experience depression and anxiety which can be triggered by the anesthesia and medication. Wishing you a speddy recovery!

Answer: Post Surgery Blues Actually, this is more common than you might imagine. A period of the "post-surgery blues". Try to stay positive and reengage into your normal activities. The vast majority of patients pass through this short phase without any serious effect.
