My recovery was going great until I had a sneezing episode. Could I have wired through the muscle fascia or torn sutures?

KPeaceApr 3, 2014
I am a mommy of 3 age 33 yrs, I had BA & TT(no lipo) on March 18th, 5'2 , 114 pounds and my abdomen was looking very flat and barely swollen by 14 days post op. Almost standing up fully straight and wearing compression garment almost 24/7. I felt good, I sneezed 6 times in a span of 3hrs. By the evening my whole abdomen started to swell with pain and a burning sensation along my rectus abdominis. My abdomen does not look the same anymore after the sneezing episode, much swelling and more lax.

Once things have healed and settled down completely from your breast augmentation, you will be absolutely fine to re-introduce your jewellery into the nipple piercing. No antibiotics will be necessary.
