How much swelling is too much? And is dizziness normal 4 days after breast augmentation with fat transfer?

Thanks for your question.Sloshing sounds is very common early postop. It should be temporary as your body reabsorbs any swelling. However you should be seen by a physician to ensure it is not a seroma. Dizziness is also common after surgery as well. However, it is better to have an in person assessment by a physician to be sure.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Regards,

The swelling starts to peak around the second day after surgery. It is normal for your breasts to feel tight and stiff. It is also not uncommon for the breasts have different reactions on each side. But the feeling and the sound you describe might need special attention. It might be seroma (excessive fluid build up under the skin). If you are unable to be examined by your own surgeon, you may want to find a board certified surgeon close to you and consult him.

Thank you for your questions.  It's hard to determine the answers without seeing you in person.  I would recommend you finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to evaluate you where you are.  Swelling is a variable thing and most of the time normal.  The sloshing sounds could be the antibiotic irrigation that they place into the breast pocket before placing the implant or it could be a seroma building up.  The dizziness could be from the narcotics and or the antibiotics that you maybe on after surgery.  Best of luck to you.
