It's a little tough to tell from your description, but unless it's hindering you from doing something just let it go and be patient. This is a long recovery and what you see now is a far cry from what you will see 3 and 6 months from now. I'm seven weeks post myself, and I think this idea that you need 4 to 6 weeks to "recover" from this surgery is a disservice to everyone who has it.
Seriously, what do people mean when they talk about "recovery"? Returning to work, driving a car, not bleeding, having enough energy to engage in their daily routine, being pain-free? The description is far too vague to have any applicable meaning for people who are in that situation. Plus, age, fitness, health status, smoking etc. play a huge role in your bodies ability to heal. My surgeon's post-surgery documentation says that you can't return to exercising for 10 weeks. She didn't set that limitation for the fun of it.
I totally understand where you are coming from and it doesn't help that we have all this time on our hands to sit around and watching the clock and every little detail of our surgery wondering if it's going to look presentable. I tell you, I've been through a lot of surgery before so I knew the routine and what to expect. For people who haven't had the experience of major surgery before this could easily feel overwhelming, depressing and even scary.
Don't do this alone people!
Here's another thing related to the communication issue. I can understand if the Dr doesn't respond to all of the emails personally because they probably do a lot of different types of surgery and there are a lot of other patients to deal with. Nevertheless, as far as I'm concerned, it's imperative that the surgeon has a strong patient care and follow-up team or person that can accommodate your questions quickly. The fact that you've heard nothing back isn't a reflection on you, it's poor patient care from them.
The main thing you want to watch out for are signs of infection. As long as that's not an issue, everything else can be fixed with time or a nip-tuck later.
