Hi there, I’m a single mom with an 18-month-old who weighs about 28 lbs. I have scheduled my breast augmentation surgery for this October. I’ll have assistance for the first two weeks post-op, but after that, it will be just me and my son. Can you advise if it’s safe to lift him after two weeks, and any tips on how to safely lift a toddler following surgery? Thank you!

Thank you for your inquiry! Dense breast tissue should not prevent a breast procedure. We would love to meet with you to discuss your options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.
If you and your surgeon agreed on a specific implant and your consent forms include only that implant then it should have been the one used unless it states that alternatives can be used. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about your concerns for clarification.
Please discuss this with your surgeon, as they would be in the best position to determine whether it would be safe for you to proceed. Generally speaking, you should be cleared of any infection before surgery.
