What's causing my extremely swollen hands and arms after BBL and breast implant surgery? (Photo)

Sometimes generalized swelling can occur, but it is always a good idea to get your guidance from your surgeon.

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 plastic surgery.





Best of luck!

Please Follow up with your surgeon. Swollen can occur but sometimesBest of luck!!!

Without knowing how much fluid you were given at the time of surgery, or the details of how much fat was removed and re injected, it is hard to give any opinion. Please show your surgeon in person your swelling. Best wishes. 

it is a but unusual to develop hand swelling like this after your surgery. Best to check in with your surgeon.
