Other treatments after breast augmentation and the position?

Question

Hi I wanted to book my pmu brows after 4 weeks of my breast surgery. The question is to have any cosmetic procedure on your face you are required to lay down on the bad while having it done would that be okay as the procedure is about 1h30min

Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. To reduce swelling and pain, sleeping on your back with your upper body slightly raised is generally advised. But four weeks after surgery, you may undergo pmu for your eyebrows by lying flat for one and a half hours. For individualized counsel, it is advisable to speak with your surgeon, who possesses the most up-to-date knowledge of your condition.

You will have to ask your surgeon about this however, generally speaking, 4 weeks may be too early after surgery to proceed with permanent makeup. This would be more for the risk of infection.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear Ecomarge21,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

In my practice, I allow my patients to lay in any position that is comfortable after augmentation, from the day of surgery on. I believe my patients and the implants are not that fragile and the position does not affect swelling or healing of the breasts. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You should be able to lay down 4 weeks after surgery, but I suggest moving your brow treatment back a month to minimize risk of infection.

David M. Creech, MD · Answer

The short answer for most procedures that I do is "yes", you have to lying down on the bed.  You need to ask your Plastic Surgeon their preferences depending on the procedure you seek.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes you should be able to lay for an hour and half on your back four weeks after your breast augmentation procedure.  However I encourage you to discuss your desire for PMU brows with your surgeon.  She/He may want you to wait longer before having this done.
