Not typically...: Though any large surgery may may you feel unwell for 1- 2 weeks afterward. Are you still taking the pain medication, . Nausea is a very common side effect of narcotic pain meds.

Meds?: Both pain pills and antibiotics can cause nausea - so it could be related to those. If you've stopped these already, speak to your surgeon, and get evaluated.

C.difficile colitis?: Mood changes are a common complaint by nearly anyone undergoing surgical stress which may alter endogenous hormones and carecholamines. Patients commonly report delayed or missed periods as well fluctuations in mood. Commonly patients experience a post partum like depression that may last for up to 3 weeks. However nausea and diarrhea may be indicative of c diff colitis and should be evaluated.

No: Although it is not uncommon to have alterations in your menstrual cycle after surgery, breast augmentation in and of itself should have no effect on your hormone levels.
