I recently got Breast implants and I think that they're too big. I've been beating myself up about it because I was originally going to get 320 cc's, but ended up getting talked into having 360 cc's instead. I was 123 pounds, 5' 3" before the surgery and the day after, I weighed 131 Ibs. Is this weight gain normal?

CONTACT NOW Answer: Weight gain after breast augmentation Weight gain is extremely common after breast augmentation. Of course, the significant weight gains within 24hrs is very unusual but obviously related to weight of the implants (although only a minor contribution) and significant fluid retention and swelling. I also suspect the scales are wrong?! Either way, such short term weight gain is almost certainly temporary and will quickly resolve. A greater issue is the potential for genuine weight gain beyond that associated with simple fluid retention and swelling. I warn all my patients about the potential for weight gain and bowel problems that can occur after surgery.WEIGHT GAIN - After surgery you will be less active than

Answer: Weight gain immediately after a breast augmentation Thank you for your question. The additional pounds on the scale is most likely the result of swelling that occurs immediately after surgery. As the swelling subsides, you should see the pounds fall off the scale as well. I hope this helps!

Answer: Abdominal swelling after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Abdominal swelling is normal after breast augmentation. Swelling follows gravity and thus your abdomen (and sometimes the thighs) will experience more swelling and add confusion to the post-op period. You may even notice that you've added many pounds on the scale that cannot be explained solely by the addition of implants. You should notice a decrease in the abdominal swelling with each week that passes by.

Answer: Swelling can contribute to weight gain It generally takes a few months for the breasts to settle. During this time, you will be affected by swelling as well. This could be contributing to your weight gain. Give it four months or so. In the meantime, drink plenty of fluids, go to the washroom regularly and cut back on sodium.

Answer: Do not despair! The implants themselves weigh about 1.6 puns at this size. You need to factor that in. Also, the early postoperative swelling will go down. The difference between 320 and 360 may not be enough for you to lose sleep over. You will likely get used to the size, the breast shape will improve, and everything will resolve itself over the first 6 months. Do not despair!
