I'm 6 days post op and I haven't had a bowel movement yet. Is this normal?

Hello,I recommend that you talk to your Plastic Surgeon about medication and activity which can help alleviate your constipation.All the best

First of all, thank you for the question.  Between the General Anesthesia and the narcotics, it slows the bowels down.  I have my patients start with Senokot S right after surgery to help get the bowels moving.  I would recommend at this point to do a suppository.   If you still need something after this, I would suggest a fleets enema.  As always, I would check with your surgeon and follow his or her advice.  Best of Luck.
