Hello, how often are post op appointments for breast augmentations surgery?

Thank
you very much for your question. The
schedule of post-op appointments will vary according to the surgeon performing the
breast augmentation surgery. In general,
patients are seen 1-2 days following the surgery, then at two and six weeks
post-op. A follow-up is also normally
planned for a year out, as well.

In my practice I typically like to see my Breast Augmentation patient's 1 week post-op.  Then I like to see them another 1 week post-op...then typically 1 month and then again at 6 mos.  If there are any complications I may see the patient for more visits as well. 

Hi.. thank you for the question... this varies with every PS.. In my practice, i evaluate the patient 3 days after surgery, then at the day 7-10... and then follow ups. 

In my practice I see patients 5 to 7 days for suture removal. There checked again in three weeks in anticipation of resumption of athletic activity. I then see them at three months and six months and one year. Patients however may visit the office anytime they wish.

Hello!  Thank you for your question!  Appointment visits will vary among surgeons as well as how you are progressing postoperatively.  In my practice, I see patients within the first couple of days postoperative.  Then, the following week, a few weeks after that, and a few months after that.  Of course, this will vary on patient comfort level and as long as all is healing and settling appropriately.  My patients will call me personally and have an appointment whenever she deems necessary or has questions/concerns. Usually I see patients at several months to a year after that to ensure expectations met and results obtained.  Hope that this helps!  Best wishes!  

Hi lanisha91.  Thank you for your question regarding appointment after a breast augmentation. This varies between offices. I see my patients the next day for a quick check, answer questions and do the irst dressing change.  A return visit the next week for in office treatments to decrease swelling, stretch the muscle, and/or scar care as necessary.  Follow ups are available at one month, three months, six months and a year to check on return to activities, the scar, breast appearance, photos, etc.  Of course, appts are available in between as needed.  Hope this helps.

This will vary from surgeon to surgeon and depends on the extent of the operation, your medical conditions, and how they are concerned about your recovery process. It is usually very individually based. I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Usually if everything goes well and you are healthy you do not need very close follow-up and can be seen 1-2 weeks after the operation and then months or years later. #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #Recovery #Postopappointments 

Thank you for your question. At my practice, I like to see patients 2 days after their Breast Augmentation. At this appointment we take the wrap off, make sure everything looks good, teach displacement exercises and fit you for a sports bra. The next appointment is at 1 week to have sutures removed. If everything is going well, we see you at 1 month to lift restrictions. Then at a 3 month appointment we take after photos and discharge you if you are healing normally. Good luck.

This is an important question especially if you live a significant distance from your surgeon.  My normal postop schedule may be a little different than other surgeons, but I like to be sure you are healing properly and that you are developing a normal capsule around your implant.  Your first postop appointment is between 5-8 days.  I will then see you every month for the first three months.  If you breasts are perfect at that time, I will see you back on an as needed basis.  I encourage my patients to return as soon as possible if they think their breasts are changing.  Since the most common complication after breast augmentation is capsular contracture, I tell my patients to pay close attention to the upper inner area of the breasts.  If one side becomes more full than the other, that could indicate an early capsular contracture.  Early capsular contractures are treated with an elastic strap and acculate, a medicine known to cause early capsular contractures to resolve.  Early diagnosis of postop breast implant complications can usually be treated without surgery using straps, acculate or specials support bras.  

After a Breast augmentation, the post op visits, are very important. The first month is good that you visit your doctor once a week, after the first month, once every 3 months, and then past the first year, you can go once a year. It is always important to keep the regular visits the first year of the procedure to make sure that the surgery was successful.
