Concerns After Getting Breast Implants


Many women worry about how to care for their breast implants as they heal.
As with any new patient, you should never feel scared about getting breast implants; you may also worry about things like having droopy breasts, not having enough sensitivity, having unevenly placed breasts, or having scars from an incision site. A lot of these problems can be taken care of through the right care and treatment.

In addition to possible long-term physical effects, you may experience temporary short-term physical side effects after breast implant surgery (for example, swelling, bruises, pain, and discomfort), which can lead to future permanent settings (scars) where the implants are placed (in addition to the scarring).

Side Effects


While these types of temporary and shorter-term side effects tend to occur with any surgical procedure, treatment options for both types of side effects exist. Temporary side effects of having breast implants include pain, swelling, and bruising, which can be treated with either an over-the-counter (OTC) or a prescription (Rx) painkiller along with the use of cold compresses.

Recovery- The solution

As you recover from your breast augmentation procedure, it isn't unusual for you to experience temporary numbness, fatigue (these are both very common symptoms), and general soreness in the affected boob area of your body. If you are going to receive breast augmentation, be aware that you will likely develop some form of scarring. However, over the years, through proper treatment, scarring can usually be improved upon or minimized.
There are many different ways that some women will have different physical characteristics after having breast augmentation.
For example, if you received breast implants to change the shape of your breasts, it is possible that you want to have an option to get your implant repositioned and/or have an option to have adjustments made to some other characteristics that can impact coming up with the desired look or feel of the breast.
