How do I treat excessive saliva after breast lift, lipo, and BBL?

Question

I've had a breast lift and BBL (Lipo) 15 days ago. I suffered from motion sickness and told my PS before surgery and he gave me scopolamine patch. Same day after the surgery, I've had some pains and nausea which I think is normal. For 3 days, I could barely keep anything down while taking oxycodone and Amox. 72 hours after removing the patch, I started to have excessive saliva which I still have now (no acid reflux problem). My PS sent me to the ER and my nausea was treated but still have saliva

I recommend you to talk about this with your board certified plastic surgeon to determine what's happening with your body. The breasts may lose their
elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different factors such as
pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To reaffirm the breasts
and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a mastopexy or breast
lift. A breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more
aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging breasts. This not only can improve
a patient’s appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions,
but also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By
removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising
the nipple & areola into a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create
a more youthful breast contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be
reduced during breast lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned,
natural looking breast, Actually the perkiness on a person or another, depends
on patients skin and breast tissue for the first 3 to 4
months!

Scopolamine can cause dry mouth. This may be a reaction to stopping the meds.  Best of luck.  Immediate concerns should be addressed by your surgeon.
