Is shortness of breath normal after a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants? (Photos)

Asked By:Megs188

Today is post op day five after my tummy tuck, breast lift with implants. I am absolutely thrilled with the results so far! I have been doing lovenox shots - today is my last day- because I have a family history of blood clots. My question is while I am walking I am pretty hunched over and feel a little out breath. My binder feels so tight! Should I loosen my binder and see if that helps? I am completely comfortable sitting down with no breathing issues, again it is only while I am walking
