What went wrong with my BA? How soon can I treat veins?

Question

I can’t stop crying. I hate my breast augmentation. The worst part is the blue veins. What can I do to treat them? 10 days post op

Joshua A. Greenwald, MD, FACS · Answer

you seem to have a nice early result.  the veins will resolve to some extent over time and the breast shape will relax and normalize as well.  do not make any rash deciisons! dr g

Thank you for your question and photographs.  The visibility of veins following breast augmentation is normal.  You are likely quite swollen at 10 days post op.  The appearance of these veins will subside as healing progresses.  Best of luck.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

At 10 days post op you are still very swollen and will continue to be for a few months, it is common to have more visible veins after a big implant but will clear up just be patient and continue to follow up with your PS.

John C. Pedersen, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Augmentations in general take time to heal properly. weeks to months.  Hard as it is, try not to evaluate your final outcome during the immediate postopertive period. Certainly, having veins more visible postoperative is common and can regress soon. Alternatively, with the larger implant the skin can become thin; stretch marks and veins may become more prominent. I wish you well

Francis Johns, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.You are only 10 days out from surgery and everything appears to be healing well. The breasts are swollen and tight after surgery, it is common for the veins to become more noticeable.  This should decrease for you over the next few weeks as the swelling continues to go down. Stay patient.
