The abdominal swelling after breast augmentation is absolutely normal. It does not cause much discomfort, and there are no risks associated with it. As such, patients normally don’t need any outside intervention to treat the abdominal swelling.

In my experience, I have observed that maximum abdominal swelling after breast augmentation happens 3-5 days following the procedure and it takes the condition 1-3 weeks to settle. In some patients, the condition disappears fairly quickly. However, you may expect to observe minor swelling in your abdomen even a month after the surgery.

In order to minimize the abdominal swelling, compression bras, dressings, and special garments are used after the operation. These garments not only contain the swelling and help your body heal quickly, but also go a long way toward enhancing the achieved aesthetic results.
