Answer: 1 week post op and still in pain, tingling, burning even under arm pits hurts pulling and heavy, is this normal?
It is normal to gain temporary weight after breast augmentation due to fluid retention by your body in the early healing phase. Of course, some weight is attributable to the implants, but most is temporary fluid retention that will dissipate over the next few weeks.
Hi and thanks for your question - any sudden onset pain this far out from surgery should be evaluated by your surgeon. It is unlikely a modest weight gain is causing the issue, and you want to be sure an early capsular contracture or infection is caught and treated. Best of luck to you!
