If you decide you want bigger implants, is there any advantage to doing it immediately or is it better to wait for current ones to heal? My thought was right away would be better to reduce overall healing time but I am usually wrong! Thanks for any advice.
Answer: Waiting time for breast implant revision surgery. Thank you for your question. For patients who do end up unhappy with the size, position, shape, or another feature of their implants after surgery, I recommend that they wait a minimum of six months before undergoing a revision surgery. This period will allow your body to heal from the original procedure, including letting swelling and other symptoms resolve, but it also will give you enough time to reconsider a revision surgery. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast augmentation revision It is recommended to wait three to six months between aesthetic plastic surgery procedures in order to make sure all the swelling has gone down. By installing wait times between procedures, patients also find they have reduced recovery time, and lower risk of postoperative complications.

Answer: Breast Implant Replacement I would recommend allowing time to heal. This will allow for all of the swelling to resolve. You would have a better idea of what size you would like to be with an implant exchange. Six months would allow for this to occur. Dr. Eric J. Wright

Answer: Going Larger If you recently had breast augmentation (within the last few months) I would say you need to wait until about 6 months postop. During this time a lot changes and you may be happen when the time comes. If you are not happy with the size at that point, it is usually an easy fix to go back and place larger implants. Hope that helps.

Answer: Breast implant replacement Dear Unbalanced700, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
