Is it normal to retain water after Breast Augmentation?

August 5, 2014
Asked By:mary22 in California, CA

I had my ba on 28 and everything went well so far, my breasts are not so swollen anymore, I don't take any meds and am having no pain. Buuut, It's day 8 post op now and I have still 10 kg of water in my body! It's not getting worse but not getting better either! I'm so unhappy, I try to walk a lot, don't eat salt and drink 2,5-3liters water a day. Also I got some waterpills yesterday but they didn't worked! I've never experienced this befor, it's painless but I'm huge EVERYWHERE! Why is this happening?
