Is it normal to gain 2 or 3 pounds after breast augmentation?

It is completely normal for patients to gain weight after surgery.  This is usually just a temporary phenomenon where your body holds onto fluid for a few weeks after surgery.  I have had breast augmentation patients weight 10lbs more for a few weeks after surgery, so just be patient.  Remember as well that with your implant volumes, each side weighs close to 1lb, leading to 2lbs of weight gain from the implants themselves.   I hope this helps.

      It is normal to gain temporary weight after breast augmentation due to fluid retention by your body in the early healing phase.  Of course, some weight is attributable to the implants, but most is temporary fluid retention that will dissipate over the next few weeks.

It is normal to gain a little weight after surgery. It is mostly fluid retention and will resolve on its own.

Some weight gain might be expected as each implant will weight about one pound. Fluid shifts with swelling or a change in activity can also affect weight in the short term. Exercise and live well and all should work out fine.

You are still in the recovery stage with swelling in your breasts and your body.Plus the implants are adding about two pounds to your new weight.
