I Already Have Silicone Implants, Now I'm Going in for a Lift.. Can I Travel 4 Days After? - Miami, FL

ORIGINAL POST

I'm traveling to Miami to have this procedure done...

$4,000
I'm traveling to Miami to have this procedure done with Dr. Ortega.. I want my breasts to sit up high without a bra. I got silicone 421 cc moderate plus profile implants 4 years ago. They look too natural and are starting to sag! This is why I want the lift. The Dr. said he doesn't have to touch the implants when performing this procedure.. I can only take off work Mon-Wed. I'm having the procedure done on Saturday 8/15, I will be leaving Miami Wednesday 8/19 around noon.. Will I be safe to travel? The nurse said to wait till thursday but I figured one day won't make a difference :-/ I already have the implants so I'm hoping the lift won't be too painful! Another question.. Do I need a post surgical bra?

Hi Pinkmommy... I went with Ortega this May. I flew in on a Thursday evening, had surgery the Friday, visited them for followup the Monday and left Miami on Tuesday morning..I did not even need to see him the Monday to be honest since I had no issues and his assistant basically did the visit to tell me how to massage the implants and use the band. I waited hours for a followup that last less than five minutes lol. They provided a surgical bra..
Oh okay!! That's good
I did finish my reply and it sent lol oops!! Did you get the results you want? Do they sit up high without a bra? How are you healing??
Didn't *
