I'm worried that if I choose to have a breast augmentation in the winter the cold weather will cause me to tense my chest muscles and cause more pain/spasms along with even more erect/sensitive nipples than if recovering during warmer weather. Is this true?
Answer: Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision I appreciate your question. Time of year will not change your post op recovery. Typically, my guideline is, the first week is the hardest. By the second week you feel better, at four weeks you feel 100% and at six weeks you can go back to complete normal routines and exercising. Four days after surgery, I would be careful as you are still at risk for bleeding. If you are taking any pain medication, I would not drink alcohol. With my 'Schwartz Rapid Recuperation' recovery, most of my patients are out to dinner the following evening. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon #RealSelfCORESurgeon

Answer: Is breast augmentation recovery worse in the colder months? Thanks for your question. In my experience with a practice in North Texas, I have not found that my patients have a more difficult recovery in the colder months. The number of patients having breast augmentations performed is actually generally high during the winter. Make sure you have an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and have all of your questions answered.

Answer: Planning Surgery Hello,This has never been a problem in my practice. Recovery involves reducing physical activity for a time- including swimming, which can be more of a hindrance in the summer. Talk with your Plastic Surgeon about your expectations.All the best

Answer: Recovery from breast augmentation in the winter Thanks for your inquiry and very interesting question. I do not think your recovery is harder in the winter, especially a North Texas winter which is not so bad! In the summer patients need to be worried about sweating and their incisions and in the winter patients need to be concerned about ice and falling. Good Luck.

Answer: Is breast augmentation recovery worse in the colder months? I don't think that there will be any difference in recovery in warm vs. colder months. I'm from Texas, and it doesn't get very cold for very long anyway! Good luck!
