Dear Cherry, my experience with post-op swelling is this: after about three months a lot of the swelling disappeared. I thought something like "ok, the rest is the long-term swelling, let's enjoy the results and just wait" back then. Later, about six months post-op, the whole had already changed, always for better. Still, I did not regarded the whole file on swelling as closed after one year since GRS. Everything was more than fine. But wow, after 18 months I noticed something different. The pubis was eventually "flat", or the flattest ever. The outer labia felt more elastic and kind of thinner, and kind of more manageable. That was my definite point of arrival. And still enjoying it
I know that sounds like a long time, but the important and good thing is this: if the initial outcome is good, the godzilla swelling will disappear after about three months for most people, and everything will be getting better and better while you enjoy your right new parts, that is, while the remaining swelling bits go away. I had my first orgasm less than three months post-op, could remain sitting comfortably after about four and shortly thereafter started regular intercourse. The rest twelve months that took for the remaining bits of swelling to disappear did not bother me at all, nor prevented me from having fun. Compared to that, the waiting time for some needed papers is more inconvenient. Enjoy the outcome and thanks a lot for your private message. 😉 Best wishes, Eurydike.
