I had a breast augmentation about 4yrs ago and was never happy with the look or size of them. I went from a small A to a full B and I hardly ever noticed a difference. I had a consultation with a new surgeon to have them redone with a 475cc implant (current 290-250cc) and am getting them over the Christmas holidays. What is the recovery time like the second time around? Any advice or suggestions?

Answer: How does breast implant exchange recovery time differ from the original breast augmentation? Thank you for the question and picture.Generally speaking, revisionary breast augmentation surgery of the type that you are contemplating tends to be associated with less discomfort and recovery time that initial breast augmentation surgery. This is because the breast implant pocket has been previously dissected/expanded. Also, generally speaking, there is not as much time required for breast implant “settling” given that your surgeon will likely manipulate the breast implant pocket to accommodate the larger breast implant. I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast implant exchange recovery Thank you for your question. Generally, I would say the recovery from implant exchange is slightly easier than the original breast augmentation. Either way, plan accordingly for 3-5 days of recovery without strenuous exercise or lifting.Best of luck,
