Before surgery I worked hard to get defined abs so my new breast would look good, but I am 7 days post op and my mid section is puffy looking! I have been having regular bowel movements, so I know that is not the case... Any ideas low long this lasts?

Answer: Will Probably Resolve in 1-2 Weeks Thank you for your question. It may be the swelling settling from the breast augmentation downward into the abdominal soft tissue. My guess is that it will go away in another 1-2 weeks. However, it's a bit of an uncommon occurrence, but swelling can go anywhere because of gravity. If it does not resolve, please go see your surgeon and follow their advice.

Answer: Abdominal swelling after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Abdominal swelling is normal after breast augmentation. Swelling follows gravity and thus your abdomen (and sometimes the thighs) will experience more swelling and add confusion to the post-op period. You should notice a decrease in the abdominal swelling with each week that passes by.

Answer: Swelling is normal This is moderately common, and will not affect your ultimate outcome. It will resolve on its own in a couple of weeks in most patients.
