I am on day 3 post off and my swelling in my abdominal area is quite uncomfortable. I look around 6 months pregnant and typically I have a lean, flat stomach. I weight around 112 lbs and I am 5'8". I am not taking any of the pain meds and never have, just Tylenol extra strength, Valium twice a day, and the antibiotic. How long will this bloat last? I don't like it!

Thank you for your question and photograph. There is no evidence to suggest that massaging your breasts reduces the risk of capsular contracture. Technically, since your implants are under the muscle, every time you move your arms you are functionally massaging your implants. Good luck.
It is very common to perform breast augmentation along with other procedures such as liposuction or tummy tuck and the combination is often called a "mommy makeover". This will save you from having two anesthetics and should save you some money. Good luck.
I would allow you to do this. Some of this depends upon the location of the incision. Some bras with wires may not be a great idea with an incision under the breast.
