Why am I wheezing after breast augmentation?

Starfish_24Feb 7, 2017
I had breast aug. 15 months ago. I felt a slight spasm on 1 side after a few months. My dr said it could be a low grade of capsular contracture and put on asthma medication for 2m. She's been checking up on me since. The breasts are not hard but I've recently noticed that I wheeze. I do smoke marjiuana and if I take a lot I begin wheezing and more recently when I excercise. It is very cold outside so it could be the weather. Im not sure if this would be related to my BA or all the other factors.

Surgery on men who wish to live their life as a woman is now very common. The transgender surgery is not a requirement to qualify for breast augmentation. I believe it is important to have a psychological evaluation before the surgery and be appropriately cleared from a medical point of view as...

Thank you for your question.  My advice is that a walker or cane is not necessary following a tummy tuck.  Best to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.  Good luck.
