hi, i had breast implants done on the 25th april and yesterday i had to get my left implant removed due to a hematoma. I was told that i had burst 2 blood vessels which were at the top of my breast and had to have surgery done to clean all of the blood and get the implant taken out. When will it be safe to get my implant put back in? Obviously i would like to get it back as soon as possible as my breasts are currently lopsided. Also, would you know if this is the doctors fault or if it’s mine?
Answer: Hematoma The hematoma is usually no one's fault, but is a risk of surgery, which I am sure your doctor discussed with you during the consultation. Blood is very inflammatory outside your blood vessels, so the tissue needs to calm down and all the swelling subside. Usually, you have to wait 3 to 6 months before the implant can be inserted, or risk developing a capsule.

Answer: Haematoma? Thanks for the question. Bleeding and haematoma is an uncommon but well recognised risk after breast implant surgery. Usually it happens within the first 24 hours but can be delayed.

Answer: Hematoma following breast augmentation Bleeding is a rare but known complication of breast augmentation (it just happens, no ones fault usually). I usually remove the implant, clean it off, irrigate the pocket, cauterize any bleeding if present and re-insert the same implant adding a drain just to be safe.

Answer: Hematoma after breast implants If you have a sudden henatome a full month after augmentation, it was caused by something you did, and is not the doctor's "fault." Most times the implant is reinserted the same day as the hematoma so you will need to ask what it was you did and why they didn't replace the same day. All questions for your doctor.
