I had breast augmentation 3 days ago and noticing swelling like a bulge underneath my bra on the left side. Also I noticed bulging on both sides and in the belly when I sit that seem like fluid and wobbles when I move, is this normal after surgery?

Answer: Swelling by the ribs and abdomen after breast augmentation. Is this normal? Thank you for the question but, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be your best resource in this situation. For meaningful advice and/or reassurance, best to communicate your concerns directly with your plastic surgeon. Having said that, generally speaking, some swelling/bruising that moves into the upper abdomen or rib cage area is commonly seen after breast augmentation surgery. Fluid/inflammation tends to move into the areas around the breasts ( “dependent” areas) during the first few days after breast augmentation surgery. Again, your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.

Answer: Swelling after surgery. There can be some swelling after a breast augmentation but it is usually confined to the breast. It is impossible to give you any meaningful answer without a direct examination, so your best course of action is to return to your surgeon for a detailed examination. Your surgeon knows best what was done and what to expect after your surgery.
