More tissue was taken from the left than the right, but post-surgery, the right has been slightly smaller. It now seems the right has started to get a bit bigger. I have increased activity in the last week (just walking more; nothing crazy) and I’m wondering if maybe this is a contributing factor. I was really pleased with my initial results, so the increasing size (be it through swelling or otherwise) has concerned me. Is there anything I should be doing to mitigate this? Thanks for your help!
