Still tired one week post op of a BA. Is this normal?

It is quite normal for you to be fatigued after breast augmentation.  This can last for some time. I'd discuss the matter with your plastic surgeon.I wish you the best,Dr. Gabbay.

Thank you for your question. It is very common to feel tired after surgery.  Even if you are not in pain, your body is going through a lot. You should feel that with every week that passes by your energy levels return to your baseline.

It's best to consult directly with your surgeon. However in general it's normal to experience low energy and fatigue the first 1-2 weeks after breast surgery. Typically patients start to feel more "like themselves" around week three. Be patient with the process and try to rest as much as possible. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

It is very normal to feel tired one week after your surgery. Your body is working hard at healing itself! Be sure you get plenty of rest, eat healthy meals and keep hydrated. Good luck.

That is completely normal to feel tired and fatigued after a breast augmentation.  Some women feel this way for a few weeks.  You just underwent a major surgery and your body is trying to heal, which going to cause you to feel this way.  If you are taking any kind of medications still that can also contribute.  Nothing to be concerned about at this point after surgery.  If you at any point feel concerned or worried about your health or your fatigue, you need to contact your doctor's office.If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation and teh recovery process, you can download a free copy of my breast augmentation planner at ABetterBreast.com.

It is normal to still feel fatigued and not quite like yourself one week post op. Your body is using a great deal of energy to help you heal properly. Be sure to incorporate protein into your diet and stay hydrated. Follow up with your surgeon as per his/her recommendations. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.   It is not uncommon to have periods of being tired during the day at only a week out from surgery.  A breast augmentation requires a fair amount of energy expenditure by your body that can leave you fatigued with mild to moderate exertion.  Each day should be showing steady improvement, but if you have any acute changes to the appearance of your breasts, or your overall level of energy, voice your concerns with your surgeon.  

It is normal to feel more tired and run down after surgery.  The stress of healing on the body requires a lot of energy, so it is not unusual to feel more tired for the first week or so.  I recommend keeping yourself hydrated and it usually passes pretty fast.

It’s common for people to have low energy or feel
fatigued during the first several weeks following surgery. Your body is in its
initial stages of recovery and is undergoing significant healing, which
requires energy. Doctors recommend taking it easy during this time, limiting
the demands you make of your body, getting plenty of rest, drinking plenty of
water and gently easing back into any physical activities. If you continue to
be concerned about your symptoms, it’s a good idea to check in with your
surgeon. Best of luck to you.

Every patient responds differently to the effects of anesthesia, pain medications and the stress of surgery.  It may take some people longer than others to bounce back, especially if you are used to being able to function at a very high level..  Once all of the medicine is out of your system and your body has adjusted to the changes caused by the surgery, you should back jto your usual energy level.
