Is Abdominal Swelling After Breast Augmentation Normal?

Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. At this point, it is very likely that your bowel movements have not returned to normal. This may take 4 to 5 days after surgery to resolve. It is likely that once your bowel movements have returned to normal you will notice the abdominal wall “swelling”  will resolve.  I encourage my patients to  wean off of narcotics and to use high-fiber food, prune juice etc. to expedite this process.

 Best wishes.

 

It may be that your surgeon has given you some opiate based pain killers? If so, this would explain your stomach swelling. I would recomend lots of fibre and it should sort itself out. If not, or if it becomes painful, do see your surgeon.
