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: Emotional following breast augmentation It is common for some cosmetic patients to have mixed feelings post op. Sometimes delayed reaction to the surgical, anesthesia, and healing process can trigger emotional responses and concerns. Also pain medications, etc may add to this.It is important to keep support from friends, family, your plastic surgeon and their staff during this usually temporary phase. Avoid making any rash decisions or assumptions. This can all be discussed to help alleviate your worries.Close, frequent follow up with your plastic surgeon and staff is recommended for as long as needed.

Answer: Depressed and emotional following breast augmentation? It is not at all uncommon to experience a wide span of emotions following any type of surgery. Cosmetic plastic surgery is especially hard because prior to surgery you are in good health and often feel great. Surgical procedures and anesthesia can cause you to have pain and other symptoms that were not present prior to surgery.
