3 dpo of having a lipo and bbl and breast implants and I keep waking up to a headache and throbbing in my ear What’s causing it?

Question

What’s causing it

S. Larry Schlesinger, MD, FACS · Answer

While it is routinely safe to have this much surgery, a human body when injured to this extent, will retain fluid.  This fluid is held in our tissue and is often referred to as third spacing of fluid.  When we third space fluid, we take it out of the bloodstream which gives us an effective dehydration.  And even though we have extra fluid in our tissue, this fluid is not available to hydrate the majority of our bodies and brains.  Therefore, the short answer to your question is, more than likely you are fluid depleted, i.e. dehydrated.  At this point, I would call your plastic surgeon or your anesthesiologist to determine what you can do to alleviate your headaches and your probable dehydration.  Please make these phone calls ASAP.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I'm sorry to hear of the symptoms you are experiencing.  They could be related to the effects of anesthesia, medication you are currently taking, or dehydration.  I encourage you to discuss the situation with your surgeon if your symptoms do not improve.

cynn1128Sorry you are having this issue, however headache after surgery can be secondary to dehydration or residual effects from anesthesia. Contact your plastic surgeon ASAP for further advice. Good luck.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The headache may be related to dehydration, an infection. or a side effect of the anesthesia.  Best to follow up with the plastic surgeon who performed your lipo, BBL, and breast augmentation.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

I am sorry that you are going through this issue during your recovery. I think this is most likely due to dehydration. Drink plenty of fluids.  If it  doesn't improve contact your plastic surgeon. Best Wishes,
