Time for Swelling?

Hi, I am nearly 5 weeks post op now and (recap I had a nipplexpy on the left and two different size implants 215-255). My righty looks great but lefty that had more work done seems to be pointing left a bit.

I wonder how long before one can say it's not swelling anymore?
How long before you had your "final" result?
It's not a terrible difference but I am still praying it's only still swollen xx :allo:

I took photos at 5 weeks then at 3 months and there is a really big difference. Cant say for sure when difference happened but just know 5 weeks is still really early and what you are seeing now deffo isnt the final result. Mine are still changing now and I am nearly 5 months!

Like AF says subtle changes over time!! Mine are still changing now!! It's the odd boob syndrome!! Swelling can take quite some time to settle....and it makes sense that if you have more work done there will be more swelling, and take longer to settle. I would certainly be patient....they do catch up eventually. xx

I agree with the other girls - it's sooo hard to be patient but 5 weeks is still very early. I think they normally say around 6 weeks for swelling to totally disappear, and if you've had more work it could be longer...

Thanks girls, I know it's early days but I can't help wondering, it sure seems a long time to be "swollen" Will post newest pics soon xx

Hey lovely,

If you can, try taking a piccy every day of your boobs, then every week look at the pics. I bet you'll be suprised at how much they change from day to day
