Is significant weight gain after breast augmentation normal?

August 16, 2014
Asked By:unvillain in Montréal, Québec, Canada

I am about four days out of surgery. My implants are 400cc each. When I left my home before my surgery, I weight 155lbs, and when I returned home today I weighed myself and I had gained about 9lbs. Is this normal? I've had trouble being regular since the operation, despite taking stool softeners and laxatives. I still feel bloated, but have been consuming fluids regularly. My food intake has decreased significantly with lack of appetite. Is this normal, or should I contact a physician?
