Ive been having random episodes of hives and occasional swelling of my lips and sometimes my fingers since a few weeks prior to my BA. My surgeon told me to take Benadryl and as long as i didn’t have any hives present the day of my surgery i should be fine. I had my breast aug on 6/5. But everyday since i have had the same hives ( i know it is not related to any of the medications or materials used for surgery) . Is it okay that i take Benadryl or Zyrtec ? What affects could this have?

Thank you for your question.
Bruising and swelling is a common side effect from breast surgery and the photo's look normal for 3 days post op. This bruising and swelling can usually take a few days to a few weeks to settle and for you to feel back to normal.
I recommend arnica tablets...
Although you should get chacked by your Surgeon, I think you will be fine.
If your breast do not get swollen too much and the shape is ok, I am sure the pain will go away in a fee days. Regards
Renee. You should be able to undergo chemical peel within the next day or two and it should not affect your breast augmentation results. However I would first check with your plastic surgeon for doing any form of treatments. Good luck.
