I have a consultation march3, and am getting married may31, wondering if I should wait untill after the wedding for BA.
Answer: Timing of breast augmentation before a wedding. When choosing to undergo a plastic surgical procedure, it is always a good idea to allow as much time as possible before a major event like a wedding to allow for things to settle, and in case there are any issues after surgery, they can hopefully be resolved prior to the event. With regard to breast augmentation, a result close to the final outcome can usually be anticipated within about 6 weeks. Specific concerns related to breast augmentation include a high-riding implant that takes some time to completely settle into position, but that is dependent on the size of the skin envelope and the degree of augmentation being performed. I would recommend discussing your concerns with your surgeon, and he/she will be able to give you a clear idea of what will be the safest course of action to reach the size and shape you desire, and whether or not that can be accomplished before your big day.

Answer: Fankenboob If done correctly, your breast should appear very strange after surgery. Over time though, they will settle and appear more normal. You just need to wait 6 weeks to 6 months to see the final result. The flip side is, if they look perfect right after surgery, you may have a problem.

Answer: Frankenboob Those high-riding implants that you see right after surgery will settle over the coming week and look quite natural, assuming the size you chose fits your frame appropriately. Go ahead and have the surgery before your wedding--but do it at least 6 weeks prior. Good luck and congratulations!

Answer: 90% recovery after breast augmentation is at 6 weeks Don't do it too close to your wedding, since the 90% recovery after breast augmentation is at 6 weeks. But if you backtrack 6 weeks from the end of May, and have your breast augmentation done by the second week in April you should be FINE. Please be sure the surgeon you consult with is both a member of ASPS and is an Aesthetic Society Member- that group of board certified plastic surgeons who do the lion share of the cosmetic surgery in the US.Also, be sure he completely educates you on the difference between saline, gel, gummy bear, round, shaped and smooth and textured implants! You should also be able to choose what size implant is used and see plenty of representative before and after photos at your consultation. If you have not yet done so, you are welcome to meet with me - close to home and very private- we have our own accredited operating surgicenter and over 25 years of experience! I am here to help with your choice and am dedicated to providing you with long term excellent results.

Answer: Yes you should wait In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and shape. Many times this simply raises more questions. I will make measurements and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes that are reasonable for their body type and measurements. Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!
