Do I really have to take muscle relaxant after breast augmentation?

Thanks for your inquiry,  I prescrible muscle relaxers for symptoms of muscle spasm, not to influence the final result.  Ask your surgeon about the position of your implants, and best of luck. 

 The muscle relaxant is helpful if you have pain caused by muscle spasms. It should not affect the way that your augmentation looks. Since there are no pictures I cannot say for sure but I think the shape is most likely due to typical postoperative swelling.

It is certainly not required to use muscle relaxants after augmentation and there is some downsides to every medication. However, I regularly use a muscle relaxant with augmentation in patients who tolerate the medication. I think the use helps decrease the muscle spasm, pain, and implant displacement. This hopefully leads to more comfort, less use of narcotic tablets, and hopefully a sooner perfect position of implants. No way for me to prove any of this, but it seems to work in my patients. Discuss with your surgeon. Good luck.
