Breast implant riskShort term breast implant health risks
It is recommended to pick a certified surgeon.
The surgeon qualification can matter when it comes to even the short term after surgery pain and comfort. The more experienced your surgeon is, the less tearing can happen and probably the cut will be the smallest as possible and will be done at the right place.
If you have small breasts and decide to go under the knife, you will face these short term breast implant risks: You will be put to sleep and waking up from anesthesia can be a true discomfort and shock. No matter how much you keep the guidelines and not eat after a certain hour before your surgery, you can still vomit after you out of the surgery room. This is "normal", just be prepared that it can easily happen. You need to know that it is a major surgery and the pain will be there. Know how much generally you tolerate pain. The first few hours after operation you will not feel too much pain because you are still under the affect of anesthesia. However 1-4 days post operation can be truly rough. Pain medication will help but you need to be aware and ready to cope with it. It will be more painful if the implants are placed under the muscle. Get ready to feel burn, itching, heaviness on your chest, also anxiety about how your breasts look. You can feel very tired but unable to sleep. It is weird that more sites state that you can go back to work after 2-3 days post op. Generally you can feel very tired and can have major discomfort. I don’t think you will be really ready to face a 9-5 hour day yet. After 7-10 days you should be able to feel ok without pain medications. That is the time when you step to phase 2, when you will face the longer term breast implant health risk depending on whether you have saline or silicone implants.
