Hello and thank you for your question. Many people will fly in from other states and have surgeries. I agree with you regarding being close to your Dr. if anything goes wrong, however, if you can stay in Miami for several days, ideally until the first post op visit, you will be better off. ...
Thank you for your question. Between 3 -5kg weight loss is unlikely to affect the results of your breast augmentation. Any significant weight changes or fluctuations does have the potential to cause changes to the breasts and affect your results.
