Join us for an educational and refreshingly honest Bustmob Live conversation, You Asked, She Answers, featuring Dr. Michelle Roughton of Amelia Aesthetics Raleigh. Built entirely around real questions from the Bustmob community, this episode tackles the topics patients ask most before and after breast surgery. From choosing the right implant and understanding over versus under the muscle placement to recovery, scars, goal photos, implant movement, and early healing, Dr. Roughton offers straightforward answers that help cut through the confusion. You'll also learn why the word "natural" means something different to every patient, how surgeons actually use goal photos during consultations, what to expect during the drop and fluff process, why feeling "too wide" after surgery is usually temporary, and what can realistically improve scar healing. Dr. Roughton also shares her thoughts on rapid recovery protocols, prehab, red light therapy, and why social media algorithms can make complications seem far more common than they really are. Practical, candid, and full of the reassuring perspective patients need, this episode is designed to help you approach your consultation, surgery, and recovery with realistic expectations and greater confidence. Whether you're considering your first breast procedure or navigating your healing journey, you'll leave this conversation feeling more informed and empowered. Interested in watching the full episode?
