Is very tight very swollen breasts, swollen stomach and menstrual bleeding normal after breast reduction?

Question

Im at day 2 after breast reduction. I am very swollen and my stomach is very swollen as well I had a Ablasion surgery about 8 months ago but I'm bleeding after my breast reduction surgery. Is this all normal? When will the breasts losen up and not be so swollen and tight. Feel like their going to pop.

Breast soften and shape about 1 percent a day. You will be about 80 percent healed by 3 months. With your symptoms and concerns, always a good idea to check in with your surgeon.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

First off, congratulations on your breast reduction surgery, Virgo4444!
It’s only been two days since your breast reduction surgery, so it’s normal to experience a lot of swelling in your upper body. It’s going to subside in the next three months or so, and may even persist for up to six months to one year (although not to the point that you feel they’re going to pop). Right now, I wouldn’t worry about it. Feel free to take your prescribed pain relievers as needed.
However, you should go on a follow-up check-up with your reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon regarding bleeding. He’ll be able to evaluate you and give you the remedies needed.
Good luck!
