4 month past top surgery but still lots of swelling

[hallo]

Hi.

I'm now around 4 months post op yet still I feel like I have quite a bit of swelling... if that is what it is.

Right now I have no pain or anything apart from a little usual pain on my scars. Yet looking at my chest it, to me, still looks as if I have strange overgrown man boobs. Seeing as how far post op I can I would of thought to be quite flat by now.

If anyone has any answers and has been through the procedure themselves I would love to hear what you think and your experience please. Also if there is a way to tell if it really is swelling or a crappy job. This is causing me to become very upset and angry as I just really thought my chest would be on the way to looking normal now.

I have to loose a little bit of weight but not so much that I think it would cause this much difference in my chest alone.

I had the double incision with Miles Berry in London. I was big breasted before surgery and now I would say it still looks as though I have an A cup, still a bit more chest then should be there even with binder on.

Contact your doctor's office for a follow-up appointment.

Hi, yes - definitely contact them and go back in for them to have a look.

i had the same experience as you - same surgeon, felt exactly the same as you after 4 months. I went back in at 5 months and had a revision at 6. Done under local he re-opened a part of the incisions and removed more.

Unfortunately I'm still not happy and wish i'd gone to a different surgeon, but I'm sure everyone has different results and I hope it works out for you - best of luck

Thanks for the feedback. I have my 6 month follow up in Oct and am giving the Surgon the benefit of the doubt as they have said to give it 6 months. If it's still like this at the 6 month mark I am going to be so flipping angry.

Is your swelling still apparent?

Hey, just wondered how you got on with the follow up?

I've now had two revisions over the course of a year with Dr. Berry so please contact me if I can help at all.
