Breast Augmentation
BA 3 weeks before being a bridesmaid?
The two main issues are your breasts will likely have significant superior pole fullness and you may be sore and still at risk for bleeding with excessive activity (no wild dance moves). Caution is usually the keyword of plastic surgeons. You may want to wait till after the wedding.
Clinical Context
At three weeks, implants often still sit higher than their final position because the chest muscle is tight and the lower pocket hasn't fully stretched yet — that settling process can take several months. The tissues around the implant are also still healing, so vigorous arm movement or a sudden rise in heart rate can trigger bleeding inside the pocket, which usually means a trip back to the operating room. Since your final shape may differ from a dress fitted beforehand, talk timing through with your surgeon.
