I am 5 days Post-Op (400cc Mentor Silicone Gel, High Profile, under the muscle). When I wake up in the mornings, my breasts feel like they are two times bigger. The swelling and tightness is extremely painful. Throughout the day, it seems to get better. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to help with the swelling?
Answer: Swelling After Breast Augmentation Swelling is common after breast augmentation. Please wear your post surgical bra at all times (day and night, including while you’re sleeping). This can help with swelling.

Answer: When I wake up in the morning my breasts feel so tight and swollen. Is this normal? Thank you for your question. Swelling and tightness is normal and expected following a breast augmentation procedure, especially if the implants are placed beneath the muscle. As the muscle and skin stretch to accommodate the volume of your implant, you should find some relief from this discomfort. Wearing a light weight and supportive compression bra is also something that I advise to all of my breast augmentation patients to wear to help lessen these symptoms. With that said, your operating plastic surgeon is most qualified to answer these questions as they are most familiar with your case. Please follow up with your operating surgeon and be patient, it takes several weeks to months for your breasts to start looking and feeling great! I hope this helps and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Answer: Tight in breasts 5 days post augmentation. Thank you for the photos. You are very early in your post operative period. What you are describing is swelling and muscle spasm which is common at this point. Best to speak with your board certified plastic surgeon. Let them know your concerns. They will often have a post operative protocol.
