How long do I have to wait before I can redo my breast augmentation?

Good evening!I do a lot of revisions, and the general rule is that you wait 12 weeks and then if you're still not happy once the swelling has subsided and things have settled down it is then safe to undergo a revision.I have attached a link to my Breast Augmentation Revision photo gallery for your review- hope it helps!

Thank you for your question.  I would strongly advise you to wait it out for at least 6 months.  There are often some changes that can resolve with time.  It is not uncommon for one side to be more swollen, etc.  Let your surgeon guide you through the recovery period and he or she can give you the most helpful insight into what is going on since they operated on you.  Best of luck.

HI Isbane,  I usually recommend that patients wait 8-10 months before doing  a breast augmentation revision. It usually takes this time for all the swelling to go down to adequately judge what size of implant to place, especially if the implant is large.Hope this helps.,Best,Dr. Christine Rodgers

Thanks for your question. I like for the pocket to have a minimum of 3 months to settle and to get an idea of the implant volume asymmetry. It would have to be very pronounced to go in early (3 months). With such large implant volumes any small asymmetry becomes very pronounced so this is not too uncommon. The risk in going back in to add more volume is that you will weaken the pocket and have a higher likelihood of implant malposition and asymmetry. Make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page and that your expectations will be met. Best of Luck!

It is generally recommended that you wait at least three months before any breast revisions after a breast augmentation to allow for healing and swelling to come down.
