One week post op I plunged a toilet, and now I'm a bit sore. Did I over do it and strain anything? (photos)

Well it looks like a small amount of bruising has occurred.  This can be from the surgery itself or from your plunging.  Two simple rules to post op care:  if it hurts stop, if its sore slow down .. you're probably doing too much.  

At just one week after your procedure, you’re still
early in your recovery. However, you should be fine to begin resuming light
daily activities as long as you’re abiding by your surgeon’s post-op
instructions. At this stage, soreness and some moderate pain can still be
expected, and an ice pack or pain medications can usually help alleviate these
symptoms. From just plunging the toilet, there shouldn’t be any reason to be
concerned, but if the soreness doesn’t get better or if it worsens, let your
doctor know.

Thank you for your question.  It is possible you just overdid it.  If there was a dramatic increase in the size of one or both breasts, then that may be concerning.  I would keep an eye on it, and if there is any concern, touch base with your plastic surgeon.  All the best,

Hello,Thank you for the question. It doesn't sound likely but it is not impossible that you did some damage with this activity. If you experience new/increasing pain or swelling you should certainly contact your Plastic Surgeon.All the best

It is difficult to say without examining you in person. Certainly this does not look like a typical hematoma, but you described increased firmness as well. The only way to give good advice is with a physical exam, so I suggest to see your plastic surgeon to be evaluated.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Thank you for your question and the photo.It doesn't sound like you have done anything too serious but it is difficult to tell just from a picture. It would be best to get in checked out at your surgeons office just to make sure everything is ok.

Since you are having concerns you should probably talk to your surgeon's office and let them know in case there are any changes in your post op recovery. Good Luck!

I appreciate your question.Since there has been a change in your post op course, please contact your surgeon so he/she can examine you and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan at this time.

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!Dr. Schwartz

Thank you very much for your question.It is difficult to say if there is anything "wrong" based on the picture alone.  However, if you are having increased soreness and firmness of the breast, it is best to get this checked out by your plastic surgeon urgently.  Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. It is hard to say how things are from the photos, but it is best to see your plastic surgeon for a check up soon especially if there are dramatic changes from one day to the next after some activity. Benjamin J. Cousins MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon
