Answer: Shortness of breath 3 days after breast augmentation. Is this normal? hello! The symptom that you are describing of shortness of breath is not normal. It is a very concerning symptom following any surgical procedure and warrants immediate medical attention. I would recommend calling your surgeon and/or going to the ER for evaluation. Best wishes!

Answer: This is not normal Pain after a breast augmentation and to some extent SLIGHTLY more shortness of breath is normal due to the fact that you don't take as deep of breaths as normal while your body is getting used to the implants but the significant shortness of breath you describe is not normal. It could be a sign of a collapsed lung or a blood clot in your lung. I recommend you call your surgeon asap (right now) and get evaluated for these possibilities.
