Day 9 post mastopexy/augmentation and exhausted.

Although some fatigue is to be expected (especially with a toddler in the house), "exhaustion" is not typical. I would suggest that you follow for in person evaluation by your plastic surgeon who will be able to help rule out any potential problems that may explain the exhaustion. Best wishes.

Hi Monca, Thanks for your excellent question.  In general some tiredness and sluggish feelings are completely normal after a breast surgery like mastopexy with augmentation, however I agree with my colleagues in this forum that any severe exhaustion should be brought to your operative surgeon's attention.  They'll appreciate the open communication.  I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best.Brian S.

For a typical patient, it would not be normal to be exhausted even a few days after surgery. A little more tired than usual, yes, but exhausted no. However, if you are overly active, and perhaps not sleeping well, then its certainly possible. If you feel like you have gotten a reasonable amount of rest, then you may want to see your surgeon just to make sure there is not anything else going on. Are you short of breath? It would be rare, but you want to make sure you dont have a pulmonary embolus.
