Answer: How to Stop Bloating After Breast Augmentation? Congratulations on your surgery. Many women feel bloated after breast augmentation surgery and this goes away on its own. Some causes may be the pain medication or another unknown cause. If you're concerned, speak with your surgeon, but I expect that it'll go away over the next week.

Answer: Abdominal Distention After Surgery Distention of the abdomen can be seen after many surgeries under general anesthesia. The reason for this is decreased bowel activity due to the effects of the anesthetic medicine. I advice early mobilization, walking and a diet rich in fibers. If required, medical supplements (stool softeners) can help with increasing bowel motility.

Answer: Abdominal swelling after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Abdominal swelling is normal after breast augmentation. Swelling follows gravity and thus your abdomen (and sometimes the thighs) will experience more swelling and add confusion to the post-op period. You may even notice that you've added many pounds on the scale that cannot be explained solely by the addition of implants. You should notice a decrease in the abdominal swelling with each week that passes by.
