Is it common to get a cold right after a breast augmentation? maybe from the antibiotics or something, it feels like its deep in my chest???

Thank you

Well it is certainly that time of year for colds and flu. With the anestethia and the pressure from the implants,the lungs may not be fully inflated and there can be some congestion. Talk to your surgeon about it.
