When Does Swelling After Breast Augmentation Begin to Subside?
Swelling After Breast Augmentation
Jul 31, 2018
Swelling after breast augmentation surgery is normal and usually lasts for 8 to 12 weeks. By this time, 85 to 90% of the swelling has subsided, but some swelling may continue for up to a year. Swelling five days postop can be quite noticeable and will diminish over time. Therefore, the early results from breast augmentation surgery will look slightly larger than the final result over the next 2 to 3 months. On average, the early postoperative...
How to Make Your Boobs Bigger - Pills or Creams?
Breast Enlargement Without Surrgery
Jul 31, 2018
Unfortunately, there are no pills or creams that can offer enlargement of the breasts. Certain hormones may minimally enlarge the breasts when using them, however, this may increase the risk of breast cancer or other breast disease. The only proven method of enlarging the breasts is breast augmentation with silicone or saline breast implants. These breast implants are FDA cleared and proven to be safe. Another option is fat transfer from other areas of the...
Breast Augmentation Recovery: What Can I Expect?
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Jul 31, 2018
Breast augmentation recovery is generally within 2 to 5 days. The discomfort experienced with breast augmentation surgery is well controlled with medication and usually lasts only a few days. Women with smaller breasts undergoing breast augmentation using larger breast implants tend to have more discomfort than with smaller implants. Also, placement of the implants below the muscle with the dual plane technique is slightly more uncomfortable than placing them above the...
At What Age Do Your Breast Stop Developing?
Breast development
Apr 30, 2018
Breast development occurs during puberty and takes a few years to be completed. This may vary based on your genetics, weight and body type. Most women’s breasts are fully developed by the mid or late teenage years. Breasts may continue to change in size and shape with weight fluctuations, pregnancy and nursing.
I have scar tissue under my nipple. Can it still diminish after it's been over a year post
Palpable firm scar
Aug 15, 2017
Some people will develop firm deep scars which may take years to resolve. They generally improve with a good scar cream or silicone scar pad, massage and time. Some will require a kenalog injection to improve. Rarely, they may not totally resolve. You should discuss your concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon to be sure you are doing what is necessary to achieve the best result. Best wishes!

Is this normal for my breast implant to show so much on the side?
Implant show
Aug 15, 2017
Breast implants may be placed in the partial submuscular position (Dual Plane) or subglandular ( above the muscle). Implants placed above the muscle may be more visible on the side of the breast, especially in a thin patient with minimal breast tissue. Larger breast implants may also be more noticeable in thin patients, especially if the pocket has been dissected too far laterally. I do not believe it is normal for your implant edge to be so noticeable from the side...
On my 12th day post op I wore a dress braless. I was braless for 10 hrs. Is this bad? Could
Bra less after surgery
Aug 15, 2017
Most plastic surgeons will recommend that you wear a bra after breast augmentation surgery. This is mostly for comfort and support. However, if the bra is too tight or pushes up the implants, they may not settle in the desired position. If your breasts have good quality skin and you did not undergo a breast lift at the same time, a bra may not be necessary at all times. I do not believe that going without a bra for 10 hours will have a negative affect on your...
Would I need a breast lift with exchange and new implants?
Breast Lifts
Jul 21, 2017
Your right breast (in the photo) appears to be sagging more than the left breast and both have significant flaring of the nipple areolar complexes. You also have a wide cleavage and lateral displacement of the implants. You would certainly benefit from vertical mastopexy and repositioning of the lateral folds which would lift the breasts, reduce the diameter of the nipple areolar complexes and improve your cleavage. This would also improve your results if you decide to exchange to...
Do I need revision surgery for lift & implants for tuberous breasts?
Tuberous breasts
Jul 9, 2017
Unfortunately, the breasts are still moderately tuberous, sagging and asymmetrical. The nipple position is still too low and uneven. It may be related to high position of the implants or some capsular contracture, but is not clear based on your photos. This will require a revision breast lift and possible exchange of one or both implants with or without capsulectomy to achieve your desired result. I recommend you discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon who...
How does pregnancy affect breast augmentation?
Pregnancy
Jul 9, 2017
Pregnancy and nursing may have a significant affect on breasts. Without breast implants, pregnancy, with or without nursing can lead to significant engorgement, stretch marks, sagging and thinning of the breasts. These changes can be more severe in people with breast implants due to the added weight and tension on the breasts. Many women benefit from a form of breast lift (mastopexy) after pregnancy and nursing with or without implants. Implants alone do not lift a sagging breast...
Will the bandage make it harder to breath?
Anxiety
Jul 9, 2017
The wrap can always be adjusted for your comfort. However, if the breast implants are partly submuscular such as with the dual plane technique, you will feel some tightness in the chest area. The larger the breast implants, the more tightness. This obviously improves over time and you will definitely get used to it. I have seen this problem before and sometimes a muscle relaxant will help significantly. Some of the muscle relaxants also improve anxiety. Best...
Can I eat seafood before breast augmentation?
Seafood before surgery
Jul 9, 2017
I do not believe that eating a normal amount of seafood prior to your surgery date is harmful or leads to a negative outcome. Some seafood is rich in cholesterol and iodine, and there are some potential toxins. However, a balanced healthy diet is always recommended to achieve to best surgical results. Best wishes!

Is smoking after a breast augmentation detrimental to recovery?
Smoking postoperatively
Jul 9, 2017
Smoking only 4 cigarettes since surgery should not significantly affect your outcome. Smoking can reduce healing, compromise blood supply and increase the risk of infection. It is recommended not to smoke until at least 6 weeks postoperatively or better yet, to quit entirely. Best wishes!

Follow-up: How does my incision look today?
Follow up incision
Jul 9, 2017
Drainage of the wound and antibiotics are definitely helping. You may require further drainage and possibly scar revision if it does not heal to your satisfaction. It may take at least 1 week for the redness to resolve. Best wishes!
Dr. Phillip Dahan
What kind of complications can a very tight BA band cause?
Tight strap
Jul 9, 2017
It is unlikely that the tight strap caused any significant harm. Your breasts are symmetrical and there are no bruises. You may wish to loosen the band and contact your board certified plastic surgeon to be sure he/she is satisfied with your progress. Best wishes!
