Breast Augmentation with Lift in Baltimore, MD

Most feel some soreness, tightness, swelling, and bruising after breast augmentation with lift. Discomfort is usually worse in the first few days and then improves as you heal. Medications can help, and most patients return to normal activities fairly soon.

You’ll have your consultation, surgery, and a few follow-up appointments as you recover so that Dr. Rottman can check your healing.

You’ll see an immediate change in your breast shape and size after surgery, but swelling and settling will affect how they look at first. Over the next few months, your breasts will soften and look more natural. Many will start to see their final results within six months to a year.

Most can take short trips a few days after surgery, but talk to Dr. Rottman before planning longer travel or flying. Avoid sitting still for too long and follow all recovery instructions to heal well and prevent complications.

The FDA approves both saline and silicone breast implants. Dr. Rottman is committed to maintaining his patients’ safety at all times and practices a meticulously conservative technique to help minimize complications and risks. However, it’s essential that women with implants undergo regular follow-up visits with their surgeon to monitor their health over time.

Breast implants usually last 10-15 years; however, several factors will play a role in their longevity. These include weight fluctuations, aging, hormone levels, and whether you become pregnant. It is common for women to undergo a breast implant exchange procedure at some point down the line, but breast implants do not need to be exchanged unless they present a problem.

If you wish to get pregnant in the future, let Dr. Rottman know ahead of time. There is no medical reason why a woman can’t undergo breast augmentation and then have a baby at a later date. However, childbirth can compromise your aesthetic results, necessitating a revision procedure.
