Hi, my name is Nick and I am 16 years old. I had double incision top surgery on April 1st, and ever since I have had a pretty large amount of swelling. The swelling is towards my sternum on both sides, and is able to push and squish down if that makes sense. I have been wearing a spanx-type tank top for my compression, and I do wear silicone sheets recommended by my surgeon. It just sucks because it still looks like I have something there, and it feels uncomfortable too. Any advice or thoughts? Thank you!

What has your surgeon told you about the swelling?

wrymze's post got caught up in the moderator area.
wrymze, hit <reply> to reply to a question and the <report to the moderator> button to report a problem post.
Here is the reply to mm's question
"
My surgeon told me that there is an abnormal amount of swelling still, but to just wait until around 6 months to see if its still bad. She said she might have to do a revision though if it is still bad. "
