Is it normal to feel a little depressed after breast augmentation?

September 28, 2015
Asked By:Eliina_V in Sweden, SE

I definitely don't regret my breast augmentation because it is something I've been longing for since I was 17 yrs old. But for some reason I feel a little depressed now about 1 week after the surgery and I don't understand why. Several times durring the evenings I feel like I want to cry, but I just can't figure out the reason why. Could this be some sort of "side effect" from the surgery? I will be very thankful for replies, XO.
