Is it safe to get breast augmentation replacement one week after initial surgery?

Question

I had a BA last Wednesday in which the PS used a 375cc mp implant after I had chosen hp. She claimed to not have been told about it by the two employees I told. She then told me to come back this following Wednesday to switch the moderate for the high profile. Is this safe to do a week apart? I am in constant pain, tired, and very stressed. I am not confident or very comfortable now with the surgical team. I asked for more time and she refused and said there were no risks. What do I do?

Though there is a difference between the high profile and moderate profile, I would recommend allowing longer time to heal to make sure you are happy with your decision. Early postoperative period has swelling and healing that is occurring. I do not see an urgency to perform an implant exchange at 1 week. Discuss this with your surgeon and obtain a second opinion if you are not confident.

Dear Practical885699,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

If you really want the higher profile, there is not much difference, then exchange now or wait until you've healed at 6 months.  You might actually love what you have now.

Mark Eberbach, MD · Answer

Why?  The difference is trivial. You will likely never see a difference between the two.

Just don't.
