I had a breast augmentation 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I am not satisfied as I wish I had gone with the larger implant. I have Silicone breast implants. How long do I have to wait to redo the breast augmentation?

Answer: How Long After Breast Augmentation Can the Revision Be Done? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery. There is no standard "waiting time" to proceed with revisionary breast surgery. This decision is best individualized based on factors such as safety considerations (for example, returning too early may increase risk such as bleeding…) and determining patients' certainty that revisionary surgery is likely to achieve an outcome that she will be happy with long-term.

Answer: BA revision Dear Kate 1964,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 3 weeks post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: How long to wait before revision surgery I would recommend waiting at least 6 months to see how your implants settle and how you feel at that time. The way you look at 3 weeks is not a good indicator of your permanent result. I would encourage you to stay positive and allow some more time to pass before making a decision. Of course, if sufficient time has went by and you still desire to be larger, then you would need to have an implant exchange surgery. Good luck!

Answer: When to Schedule a Breast Revision Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. Matters such as sagging or drooping and size change will not improve with time. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation.
