I just had my BA yesterday and I feel amazing! I would like to know if there is something that I can do to help get some of the fluid retention down. I am taking Bromelain and a clinical support Vitamed product. Have only had to take on pain pill and not taking anymore because I feel fabulous. I am pushing tons of water as well. 1.5 gallons/ day was recommended. I’m probably not meeting that goal but I am drinking at least a gallon. I have swelling in my stomach sides and chest
Answer: 1 day post op BA, advice for fluid retention and swelling? Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your augmentation! Swelling after surgery is common and, despite your supplementation, will take time to fully resolve. Typically your body will mobilize the excess fluid it is retaining on days 3-5 and you will see steady improvement over the following week. Hope this helps.

Answer: Fluid retention and swelling after breast augmentation I encourage my patients to immediately return to normal activities as soon as possible. I don't believe that it is important to drink any more than you would normally. The abdominal fluid retention and swelling will disappear on their own, and I don't think any intervention is needed.

Answer: Tincture Of Time! Brad8003. It sounds like you are experiencing normal postoperative swelling after breast augmentation surgery. There is really no way to speed up the recovery process other than drinking lots of fluids and allowing your body to heal. Check in with your plastic surgeon and try to stay patient. Good luck.
