Can my 1 yr breast aug lead to migraines?

al_maJun 7, 2017
I had my breast aug 1 yr ago. I've recently started having severe migraines. Almost daily. My general doctor thinks it may be the breast aug, since there has been no drastic changes to my lifestyle otherwise. I have silicone unders, how do I go about checking for a rupture or tears? And how do I know if it's from the breast aug?

Dear Sarah, That's a great question but without knowing which ones you currently take I don't want to be too general. In my practice we have a full page list of acceptable or non-acceptable medications and supplements that a client needs to adjust prior to surgery. Never feel bad about calling...

Once you get your second PTT results back I would let your PS now if it is out of range. He/she will be able to tell you if surgery will be postponed or if they are willing to do a medication and continue with surgery or not. Safe is always the best way to be.  I wish you the best...

Thank you for your question and photograph.  My strong advice is to wait a full 4-6 months before considering your final result of your breast augmentation procedure.  Implants do take some time to settle and it is normal to have one implant slighter high than the other.  Best to follow-up wi...

Hello, a breast width of 9cm is a little narrower than my typical measurement but I've seen patients with breast width in this range.  You don't necessarily have to get ultra high profile implants; it depends on the volume of implants you want and whether their base dimension matches your ...
