Answer: Bloating After Breast Augmentation
Hello,
The bloating you are describing is not uncommon due to the effect of the anesthesia and the pain killers (narcotics) your body has been dealing with.
Time is required for you to get back to how you were before the surgery. Also, if you are not under excruciating pain then lowering the daily dosage of your pain killers could be quite helpful.
Additionally, some patients tend to put on some weight faster than others if being sedentary during their recovery period.
Therefore, without a physical examination it is not possible to provide you with definitive diagnosis but I recommend that you consult with your surgeon who knows the full details of your surgery.
I hope this helps.
The best of luck to you and congratulations on your surgery.

Answer: Abdominal Bloating After Breast ?
After surgery narcotic pain medications and anesthesia can slow down you intestines and lead to bloating and constipation. Usually stool softeners and suppositories can help. There is also some fluid retention that can cause bloating. You need to go see your surgeon to make sure this is not something more serious.
