4 days post op Breast Reduction, I haven't had bowel movements. Any suggestions?

blvig
I just had a breast reduction 4 days ago. However, I haven't had a bowel movement in almost a week...I know the medicine causes constipation. When should I be concerned/take more drastic measures (i.e. getting an enema?) My stomach is so huge and bloated! My shirts that were large on me 1st day post op now don't button around my stomach! Help!
