I’m nervous about my healing process n developing hematoma!!!
Answer: Hematoma Hello,Thank you for your question. There are many precautions that your plastic surgeon will take to prevent unnecessary bleeding and likely instructions for you as well regarding activities and medication post op. I recommend that you talk with your surgeon about what you should avoid to prevent hematomas. Certain blood thinners and vigorous activity or impact on the breasts could cause damage. This complication is quite rare and will usually present with extreme, one-sided swelling, firmness and pain. Let your surgeon know if you have any concerns. All the best

Answer: Hematoma signs Hematoma is when bleeding occurs after surgery and fills up the space where the surgeon operated. A little bleeding and bruising is natural with every surgery, but if it's large, it can be a problem for healing and potentially lead to further issues. Large hematomas will make the breasts very asymmetric, and be very painful. Your surgeon should be checking you post-op for signs of hematoma. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: Hematoma If you are concerned you may have a hematoma, you should be contacting your surgeon immediately. If you're preoperative and has not had surgery yet, hematoma is simply a blood collection that manifest as bruising, asymmetric swelling, and pain. Discuss this further with your surgeonBest of luck!

Answer: Prevention of hematoma after #breastaugmentation Hi. Hematomas, or focal collections of blood, can develop after surgery slowly or suddenly, at any point after surgery. Controlling bleeding is not just a technical maneuver for the surgeon, but directly related to allowing for a small plug on the end of the injured vessel to mature. The use of blood thinners (like NSAIDS containing aspirin, ibuprofen, motrin, or prescribed meds like Coumadin & xarelto) would obiviously increase the risk. Increases in blood pressure and heart rate could mechanically disrupt the plug, so limiting activity and positions postoperatively is important. You will physically see focal swelling & with time, extensive bruising. If you are concerned that you have a hematoma, contact your surgeon right away. Best wishes,
