Very Swollen Upper Abdomen After Breast Reduction, 3.5 Months Post Op. What Should I Do? (photo)

Thank you for your question. Abdominal swelling is normal after breast reduction. 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, despite having reduced breast size. You should notice a decrease in the abdominal swelling with each week that passes by.

Thank you for the question and picture.

At this stage (after your recovery from breast reduction surgery) She, it is unlikely that your abdominal swelling is related to the press reduction surgery. Given your description, it will be in your best interests  to be seen by your family practitioner or internist.

Best wishes.

The photo only shows a swollen upper abdomen in a side view that is not much help. What is concerning is the description it "worsened,...very hard and painful" . Immediately seek in person medical evaluation, this issue needs attention. 

It is hard to say 100% via this forum but I do not think that the appearance of your abdomen is related to the surgery you had.  Perhaps early on it could be; particularly as a reaction from pain medications (which can cause temporary abdominal swelling or distention).  I would suggest an assessment from your internist.

I hope that this helps and good luck,

Dr. E

This is not a question that can be answered based on a photo. You need to make an appointment with your doctor for an examination.
