Answer: Depression Due To Medication After Breast Augmentation
Hello,
It is not uncommon that patients fall into a depression mode with various levels depending on each patient.
The main cause for the type of depression you exhibit tend to be attributed to the medications your body had to metabolize (narcotic, anesthetics, etc.) affecting your hormonal balance.
Decreasing your dependence on pain medication tend to help overcome your state of depression.
Moreover, it is imperative that you keep communicating with your surgeon who will be able to change your prescription medication if necessary and to guide through your transition phase.
I hope you will feel better soon and thank you for an important post.
The best of wishes to you.

Answer: Depression after surgery
I agree with the previous post- the most common reason people become depressed after surgery is from the side effects of the narcotic pain medication- if you can switch to Tylenol, you are likely to feel better quicker. Good luck!
