If I'm unhappy with breast aug revision 2 months post op(ie scar, implant) should I get a second opinion?

Question

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

Revision breast implant surgery is more complex than primary augmentation and the healing process often slower. At 2 months it is probably too early but if after 6 months you do not feel that your plastic surgeon is able to help then a second opinion might be a good idea.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Difficult to give you specific advice without viewing pictures, but obtaining a second opinion consultation with a well experienced/ethical board-certified plastic surgeon cannot hurt. Best wishes.

Andre Aboolian, MD · Answer

2 months post surgery is too early to have a final assessment of your results.  Although you can get a second opinion it is best to wait at least 6 months and always try working with the doctor who operated on you first.

Jason Brett Lichten, MD · Answer

At 2 months, you are still a little early along in your healing, but if you have concerns about your surgical results, or how you are healing, you may benefit from discussing your concerns with both your original surgeon and also getting a second opinion.
