Answer: Shortness of breath after any procedure can be a danger sign Shortness of breath after any surgical procedure can be a symptom of pulmonary embolism. These occur when blood in the large veins of the legs clot, break off, and travel up the veins to the heart which pumps the clots into the lungs. This is a medical emergency requiring quick evaluation and treatment.It sounds like your shortness of breath is with activity which can be seen with breast augmentation. If your breathing worsens with activity, or starts happening without activity, you should be taken to an ER immediately.In any case, you should call your plastic surgeon with these symptoms.

Answer: Getting used to your new breasts In my experience, it takes about 3 to 5 weeks to get accustomed to your breasts after surgery, and before they start to feel like they are part of you. When concerned, always a good idea to check in with your surgeon.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Is shortness of breath common after surgery and for how long? What you are experiencing may or may not be "normal". Postoperative respiratory complaints may indicate a serious problem; potential problems such as pneumonia or pulmonary embolism may need to be ruled out. Best wishes.
