Panic Attacks After Tummy Tuck? (photo)

It is important to have a sense of well being following surgery. There may be a simple solution to your panic attacks.  See your plastic surgeon and your primary care physician after having a panic attack.  Usually a short course of medications are indicated.

I agree - you need to discuss this with your own surgeon. Sometimes you can get these types of side effects from medications.

Claudia I agree. We do not know you or your health at all so in this forum I would not go with our attempt to clinically diagnose you. It could just be panic attacks and it could be more so make sure if you have not done so already, to contact your surgeon. They would want to know right away. I know I would!

Claudia--this is best addressed with your surgeon or your primary MD.  It won't be solved online by surgeons who don't know you! Any reassurance from Realself surgeons will be false reassurance. 

Call your doc. Best wishes.

The best way to deal with panic attacks is to see your primary care physician. There have been some patients who have had panic attacks after surgery but this is usually controlled with short term benzodiazepenes.
