Does breast augmentation surgery effect hormones? i have been very hormonal and nauseous since my op 10 days ago. is there a connection?

Breast augmentation: The procedure itself should have no effect. The issue is the stress of having surgery. Hopefully all of this will resolve shortly. Please contact your surgeon for more specific treatment if necessary.

Breast aug: Breast augmentation has no effect on hormones. The manipulation of the breast tissue causes no surge in hormones; however, surgery and recovery can lead to stress, emotional irritability, pain, and a surge in other hormones related to these. Be patient! you will recover and this will pass.

Very common complain: This is 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.

Yes and no: The implants themselves have no effect on hormone levels. Surgical stress however can cause temporary alterations in your menstrual cycle.

No: Augmentation only affects your appearance, not your hormones. However, the stress of having surgery taking narcotic pain medication can certainly cause your symptoms, but should resolve soon. Good luck.

Nausea: Breast surgery often results in post-operative nausea. It is not related to fluctuations in estrogen levels. http://www.dassmd.com/breast-augmentation/index.html.
