I am 4 days post-op. I took my 1st shower yesterday. When I took the compression garmet off I find it really really hard to breathe. is this normal??
Answer: Hard to breathe with compression garment off. Is this normal? No, this is not a complaint I hear of commonly. I would not assume that any difficulty breathing is related to the use of garments ( or not). Make sure that you communicate any potentially serious concerns like this with your plastic surgeon ( to make sure that you have people around you to help if necessary). Best wishes.

Answer: Hard to breath If you are having trouble catching your breath then you need to call your plastic surgeon immediately! If it hurts to breath then discuss an alteration in your pain management with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Hard to breathe with compression garment off. Is this normal? Thank you for your picture and photograph. Depending on the type of tummy tuck, and what was done in the operation, some people do find breathing uncomfortable. It is uncommon, however, to have people feel short of breath, specifically after removing a binder. If your difficulty with breathing occurred fairly rapidly, and is worsening, I would be in touch with your operative surgeon and inform him of your symptoms.
