I had BA 9 weeks ago and my breast are adjusting fine but some days I have a tightness in my left breast and it itches. Is that normal?
Answer: Recovery Congratulations on your surgery! At nine weeks post op the symptoms that you describe are very typical. As you progress through recovery you will notice that the tightness will become less severe and less frequent. The itching should also improve. Be sure to follow your surgeon's instructions and keep all follow up appointments.

Answer: Tightness at 9 weeks post op Hello, Thank you for your question! You are still very early post op after your BA. However, it is difficult to assess you with a physical examination. If you are concerned it may be best to see your plastic surgeon. You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix. Regards,

Answer: BA results Dear jensniezko, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.
