Bloating/water retention due to breast augmentation

B. L. A
Hi, I just got my BA 10/19/16, almost a week ago. Normally I am pretty slender, but after my BA and still to this day, I look really bloated. Going to the toilet ain't a problem, I just look bloated. Is this normal? Is it because of water retention due to the painkillers I am taking 2-4 times a day? Haven't heard much about this problem before I experienced it myself.... Thanks :-)
