Is it normal to feel cold liquid going down my esophagus after you've had breast augmentation?

Question

I had breast augmentation surgery 2 weeks ago. Everything went well and I'm extremely pleased! The only weird thing I've noticed is that when I drink cold liquids, I can actually feel the chill going down my throat and between my breasts until it reaches the stomach. Is this normal? And, if so, I'd love to get an explanation. Thanks!

No, this isn't a normal complication from breast augmentation surgery. In fact, I would say that the two things are unrelated. So, you may want to schedule an appointment with your internist to assess what exactly is going on. Best, Dr. Nazarian

I appreciate your question.

This is unrelated to your Breast Augmentation.  If you are concerned about this, please contact to your primary care doctor.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

best of luck!

Thank you for your question. I think it is safe to say being able to feel cold liquid down your throat is not related to your breast augmentation. If you are concerned speak to a medical professional and be assessed. All the best,

WHile I have no explanation for why you are noticing this at this particular time, I would not be concerned about this. This is normal in unoperated patients and I can't think of a reason this would be considered abnormal or dangerous to you. Consider it "one of those things" and enjoy your new self.
