Realistically, the 10 year replacement mark is a recommendation based on the fact that implants have an increasingly growing risk of rupture each year. If your implants are doing well and there are no issues then you can leave them in place. Consider that if they are sailine, a rupture would result in a smaller breast and subsequent contracture of that breast which may make replacement difficult. There is no rush or urgency at this time, however, it may be some thing to start considering and thinking about changing them out in the near future.

Sometimes you can hurt for sometime. Depending on how the augmentation was done, often the muscle is lifted and this takes time for the muscle to stop spasming and find its new expanded place. It also depends on how larger implants are. I usually tell people that it can take up to six weeks for a lot of that discomfort to go away, however, every day should get better. Furthermore as time goes on massage and pocket softness can help with that discomfort. What you’re experiencing right now sounds very normal. I hope you feel better soon.

Yes, after a rhinoplasty the nose can remain swollen for a significant amount of time. Usually you will start to notice a difference by about the three month mark, however, you can also have swelling all the way out to one year. We usually discuss with patients that they will have decreasing swelling for a total of one year. It sounds like you are on the right track. Be confident comfortable that it should get smaller with time due to the swelling reduction over this period.

Yes, stretch marks can be one of those pesky things that are bothersome. This is actually a tear in the dermal layer of the skin from stretch, hence the term stretch marks. Unfortunately the only way to permanently remove them is to permanently remove that skin by cutting it out. Often this is accomplished through an abdom when the stretch marks are present in the lower to mid abdomen. I hope this helps. Good luck.

We usually recommend that you sleep in an upright position for about 5 to 7 days. The danger of sleeping on your side is that you may roll over onto your face and possibly compromise the results of surgery. However, not every scenario can be prevented, and getting restful sleep is always a positive thing. I think, try your best to sleep in an upright position for as long as you can and discuss with your surgeon when they feel comfortable with you sleeping on your side.
