I suppose it's possible but it is rare. The texture on the outside makes it harder to displace than a smooth device. Try and take it easy going forward and fingers crossed all is well. Hard to redo the past (obviously)!

You didn't ruin the implant, but may possibly have weakened or torn the internal closure. Have your surgeon check.

You should be fine and will have a great result. Picking up your baby should have no affect on your final results, except you may be a little sore.

I would call your surgeon and ask for a follow-up appointment ASAP. I encourage my patients to not lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for 2 weeks after breast augmentation, regardless of the type of implant. That being said, many mothers have breast augmentation and end up lifting their children before the recommendation, and they turn out fine. Try to take it easy, and get in with your doctor for reassurance.

You should be fine. They are not going to rupture, so relax and take it easy.

It is always better to listen to what your plastic surgeon says and follow the post op instructions unless he/she says otherwise.

Thank you for your question. It is unlikely that you have compromised your result at this time. If your breasts are not excessively swollen or distorted in shape, then you are probably fine. I recommend that you try to refrain from lifting or exerting yourself too much until you have had more time to heal. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and try not to worry too much until you have seen by your physician.

Thank you for your question.
Most likely you have not "ruined" your outcome but if you are worried, I would suggest going in to see your surgeon so that he/she can examine you and let you know how things are healing.
Best wishes.

You should really discuss this with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He / she will know exactly what what was done, where they were placed and any limitations they may have requested.
Good Luck

Great question. You can't really hurt your implants by not adhering to lifting restrictions. The danger is really more in getting a hematoma for increased blood pressure. If your breasts are symmetric and they look the same way they did prior your implants are in the same position and you have not developed a hematoma.
All the best

It is unlikely you did anything wrong. Although textured implants should not be 'massaged', movement of your arms is not a problem. You'd know if there were any significant forces on your implants when lifting your child as it would have hurt. Best of luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question. Yes it is possible to cause problems in the early postoperative period. I would recommend to follow up with her treating plastic surgeon for a physical examination and discussion regarding such. Best of luck with your recovery.

Just picking up your child should not have changed anything. It is very diffcult to get a 410 to rotate at all. The firmness and the texturing make them difficult to get into position in the first place. Once they are in the desired position, it is hard to even make adjustments during the surgery itself. Just be cautious and follow your surgeons instructions, but I would not worry about it.

Please see your doctor immediately and do not be embarrassed. Obviously, you know you may have done something wrong by doing too much. The best course of action at this point is to see your doctor and have them evaluate the implant and the pockets . Best wishes.

Of course it's easy to understand that your one year needs you but it is very important to try your best to comply with the activity restrictions recommended by your physician. It will be difficult to tell at this time whether this activity has affected the positioning and adherence of the implant. Stay in close contact with your surgeon and discuss your concerns
