I am 4 days postop from a breast revision/fat transfer, & my left breast is swollen, I can hear fluid & air inside,I can also feel excess fluid.I went across the country for surgery (bad idea I know now) so I am unable to go see my PS. And the day after surgery, for my post op, I found out my PS went on vacation and I wouldn’t get to see a doctor.I have also been feeling a little dizzy, is that normal? Is sloshing sounds and noticeable fluid normal? As long as it’s improving should I not worry?
Answer: Breast Augmentation postop Thanks for your question.Sloshing sounds is very common early postop. It should be temporary as your body reabsorbs any swelling. However you should be seen by a physician to ensure it is not a seroma. Dizziness is also common after surgery as well. However, it is better to have an in person assessment by a physician to be sure.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Answer: Swelling After A Breast Augmentation The swelling starts to peak around the second day after surgery. It is normal for your breasts to feel tight and stiff. It is also not uncommon for the breasts have different reactions on each side. But the feeling and the sound you describe might need special attention. It might be seroma (excessive fluid build up under the skin). If you are unable to be examined by your own surgeon, you may want to find a board certified surgeon close to you and consult him.

Answer: Swelling and dizziness Thank you for your questions. It's hard to determine the answers without seeing you in person. I would recommend you finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to evaluate you where you are. Swelling is a variable thing and most of the time normal. The sloshing sounds could be the antibiotic irrigation that they place into the breast pocket before placing the implant or it could be a seroma building up. The dizziness could be from the narcotics and or the antibiotics that you maybe on after surgery. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Question after breast surgery Sorry to hear about your concerns. You really should have the PS who performed your surgery manage your postoperative care. If you are concerned, then I encourage you to seek out a PS locally but be prepared to have them charge you for this care since they did not actually perform your surgery. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Breast augmentation post op problems Tough to give you advice about this issue without a good exam. I would recommend that you have your surgeon take a look at your issues. The dizziness might be simple explanation is that it could be caused by your pain meds. Have your surgeon assess for all this in person if you are really worried. Good luck with your healing.
