Stomach muscle pain after BA. Is this normal?

Nighthawk12Jul 4, 2016

I had by BA 2 days ago. The pain in my breast is mostly gone. However I woke this morning and the muscles in my stomach are very sore. Is this normal? Is this due to the strain of sitting up?

Thank you for your question.Asymmetric swelling is quite common at this stage. The photographs appear to be normal for 2 weeks after the procedure. It seems to be very early to go back to truck driving. Please do follow the advice of your Plastic Surgeon regarding when you can resume your job...
