I had a breast augmentation on 9/24 (3weeks ago) and I am still VERY bloated, I look pregnant and feel very uncomfortable. What can I do to alleviate the discomfort and get my stomach back to its normal shape?
Answer: Abdominal swelling after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Abdominal swelling is normal after breast augmentation. Swelling follows gravity and thus your abdomen (and sometimes the thighs) will experience more swelling and add confusion to the post-op period. You may even notice that you've added many pounds on the scale that cannot be explained solely by the addition of implants. You should notice a decrease in the abdominal swelling with each week that passes by.

Answer: Bloating After Breast Augmentation You can help get rid of this feeling by drinking plenty of water, going to the washroom regularly and walking leisurely around to keep your circulation going. Over the course of a few weeks, your bloated feeling will most likely away. Maximum swelling occurs at about 3-5 days post surgery breast augmentation. Most bruising and swelling will resolve within 14 days. Best of luck!

Answer: Bloating After Breast Augmentation There are multiple reasons you may still be feeling the bloating feeling after breast augmentation.Most frequently, this is a secondary effect of narcotic pain medications. This is one key benefit my patients receive while utilizing the "24-hour breast augmentation recovery program" among other benefits as they do not require as much, if any, narcotic pain medications and then have to deal with the secondary consequences. Also, some people are more susceptible to the side effects of anesthesia as well as changes in the microbiology of your intestines with the use of antibiotics, and many more reasons. I actually recommend that you stay very well hydrated, consider utilizing a probiotic, ambulate or walk around a great deal and work towards resuming your normal activities as long as you are cleared by your surgeon to do so. I wish you the best of luck.
