10 day post breast augmentation car accident airbags deployed concerns?

Question

I had 500cc silicone implant place under the muscle. Ten days post op I was going 70mph when a garden tractor was lost off of a trailer and I hit it. airbags deployed. then another car rear ended me. No recollection of my boobs ever being hit by the air bag or the seat belt hurting them. I have no bruising, no cuts, no heat & no excessive pain. my question is I know the implants themselves can tolerate a lot. I'm more concerned about the healing pockets at this early stage of everything?

I appreciate your question.I would recommend that you follow up with your plastic surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time.

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 and restorative breast surgery.Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and I am happy to hear that you are okay! Because of your recent surgery I would recommend you see your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination.  At worst they can provide reassurance that all is well, at best they may find an issue before it becomes a problem.

Based on the severity of your impact and how close it was to the time of your operation, I recommend that you get checked out by your surgeon. It is certainly better to be safe in the circumstance. It is imperative
that you seek the advice of a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery and has extensive experience in breast augmentation.

I wish you the best.

Dr. Gabbay.
