Stomach muscle pain after BA. Is this normal?

A lot of breast patients sleep in a semi-sitting position early after surgery to keep their chest elevated to reduce swelling. This can cause back or abdomen discomfort. Pain medicine itself can cause stomach upset or constipation. Best to check in with your surgeon to be sure. Good luck.

Hello,Muscles can be quite tense directly after BA surgery and many patients complain of back pain. This could be related or a sensitivity to medication. I recommend that you discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon.All the best

Having some discomfort may be normal, especially if you are using narcotics for pain medication. Best to always check in with your operating surgeon, however, if the pain persists or gets worse so you can be properly examined and evaluated in person. Good luck!

Congratulations on your breast augmentation. You should not have abdominal pain after a breast augmentation unless you had the TUBA technique.( Placement of the augmentation through the umbilicus). Please seek advice from your surgeon today to examine you. I wish you well

You may have some discomfort, as if you did many sit-ups, with sitting up and not using your arms. This discomfort will slowly improve. You also may have some discomfort with constipation from using narcotics. I would suggest using a stool softener or mild laxative.
