Is it normal for one of your ears to feel a little clogged after a breast augmentation?

It is highly unlikely that your ear problems are connected to your surgery.  However, if you ever have concerns regarding risks you should contact your surgeon's office.

I do suggest speaking with your surgeon for any concerns post-op, which is why I always strongly recommend my patients to schedule follow ups. If your doctor believes that your symptoms are not related to your surgery they can always refer you to the right doctor. As always make sure you are consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Thank you for your question and have a great day!

Thank you for your question.  It is unlikely that your breast augmentation procedure has any effect on the feeling of clogged ears.  You may want to follow up with your primary care doctor for an evaluation.  Best of luck.

Hi there, Thank you for your question. It is not normal for the ear to be effected after breast augmentation surgery. Perhaps consider visiting your family Doctor. Best, realdrsix

Hello, Any problems related to your ears (after a breast augmentation) have no relation with the surgery. Best recommendation is for your to visit your primary care physician. Good luck, Dr. Fernandez Goico

Hello and thank you for your question. The surgery itself does not have any effect on your ears (as you would expect). However, if you had a general anesthesia, there is a chance that the positive pressure ventilation that is used can push some air into your ear canal through the Eustachian tube. Don't worry, this is completely normal. You can try a decongestant, or ask your primary care doctor with assistance. Good luck!
