Hi user3298161, Every surgeon has different preferences in post op care management, as this would depend on the various factors like the type of surgery performed, the type of anesthesia used, the type and size of implant used, and the surgery technique performed among others. It would be best to consult your plastic surgeon regarding your concern, as your surgeon knows your case well and has monitored your recovery progress.

Hello,The photos shows visible breast implant. Please see your surgeon as soon as possible. You will unlikely be able to save this implant, as it will likely become infected (or already is). If your surgeon determines it needs to come out, you should remove both implants. Best of luck!
Hi AshelyMcDaniel, For scars, I close all of my incisions in 5 layers and do not use absorbable sutures because they cause inflammation and worse scarring. I tape all of my incisions in the office visits once a week for six weeks after surgery to improve the appearance. After taping, I start...
