Breast Augmentation Follow Up Appointments from Your POV

August 11, 2023

What is it really like undergoing a breast augmentation procedure? We’re taking you behind the scenes again to show you what the firsthand post-operative experience is like. After your surgery, you’ll be coming back to see us a number of times so that we can give you continued guidance and make sure everything is healing beautifully.

Keep in mind that this is a reenactment of how things run at our clinic. The day you come in for your post-op appointment may go a bit differently depending on a number of things, including your unique circumstances, a protocol update, who your surgeon is, and the staff working that day. It is also not reflective of the process at other surgical clinics.

And if you’re wondering what the journey is like on the day of surgery, don’t miss our first series on what breast augmentation is really like.
