Blood loss during the surgery is minimal and by this time any drugs from the anesthesia should be cleared out of your system. However, you should discuss this with your surgeon before donating.
Ask your surgeon about this, as your surgeon may have a different opinion on this. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
This should be fine in a healthy adult if it’s still a few weeks from surgery. During a breast augmentation it’s rare to lose much more than a tablespoon of blood, but each doctor may feel differently. I would check with your PS before donating.
It all depends on your blood count. If your hematocrit is too low, it would not be a good idea to donate blood right before elective surgery. Anemia can affect both anesthesia and surgery recovery. Discuss with your surgeon. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
There are varying criteria for breasts to have a tubular breast deformity. Additionally, these different criteria occur in differing amounts. Your left breast is more tubular than your right. The appearance of your breasts could be nicely improved with a lift, however.
I am in agreement with your surgeon, at 4 weeks you should be able to start strenuous exercise, but start gradually and see how you fee. By six weeks you should be able to resume all of your normal activities. Good luck.
A draining breast implant incision is concerning. It is better to be aggressive in these situations to make sure that the implant does not get infected or already have an infection. Dr. ES
Hi there and thank you for this great question. It is not uncommon for one breast to hurt more or feel a little bit different than the other breast particularly early on. It is possible that there is more trauma, more bleeding, or swelling on that side which has resulted in increased tenderness....
You need to make sure that your incisions are completely healed before applying a tanning lotion. Get clearance from your surgeon first. Good Luck
Loss of nipple sensation can happen and is a risk associated with any type of breast augmentation. You may have temporary change in sensation that can last a few weeks or months. Permanent sensation loss is very rare. A numb nipple can affect breast feeding, but it is very rare.
