How often can I ice after breast augmentation? (Photo)

I had my surgery yesterday and was shocked that I didn't really have any pain just soreness and tightness. When we got home from hospital I was able to get along well. I picked around the house and moved around a lot. moving seemed to almost eliminate all soreness I had. Once I layed down I started getting sore so I roared ice packs pretty much constantly is icing too much bad? I've heard people say 20 minutes on 20 minutes off?

Thanks for asking. Mammograms are still possible even with capsular contracture. Letting your provider and tech know your situation will help. Sometimes MRI is used in breast evaluation. If a patient does have a grade IV contracture, she should see a plastic surgeon for the surgical options for...

Thanks for your question.700 cc implants will make quiet statement.I think that implants placed above the muscle will give you a coconut shell appearance on your chest and looks incredibly unnatural.That being said, some people prefer this look.With that large of an implant, I doubt that you...
