Day three after explant surgery and I am experiencing a very sore stomach, mid-section, sides and back. Any suggestions?

Asked By:sagpuss in Vancouver, BC

I just had breast explant surgery (silicone, and above the muscle) and today is day three post-op. My breasts are not very sore at all, except a little discomfort at the incision site below my breasts, but I am experiencing bloating and pain in my stomach, my sides and back. I feel like I have been punched in the stomach. I have some sort of harness marks on my midsection and shoulders. Do they invert you on the operating table to explant? and, should I be concerned about a sore mid-section?
