1 week post BBL and it feels like something is stuck in throat. Anything I can do to help it go away?

Question

I’m 1 week post bbl surgery. Since yesterday early am I feel like I have something stuck in my throat and is driving me crazy. It hurts a little in chest. I’m just hoping it’s nothing serious and hoping it goes away on its own so want to wait before going to the doctors. Any input?

Richard Zienowicz, MD · Answer

The best way to prevent further complications from any medical procedure, and to ensure a safe complete recovery from surgery, is to seek direct feedback from the medical provider who did this surgery. There is no way to provide sound advice without direct knowledge of your individual situation, and health issues can happen concurrently, so it might have something to do with your surgery, but it also might have absolutely nothing to do with your surgery. Contact a board certified doctor immediately.

Veronica,Your complaints are a bit vague to answer.  The throat issue may be form the anesthesia if any type of tube was inserted.  The chest discomfort scares me a bit but I would need much more information as to the type of chest discomfort you are sensing and if there are any issues with breathing or coughing.Dr T
