Post op Swelling?

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to say what is going on without an examination. It is a good idea to keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon and follow his/her advice since he/she knows your history the best. Give your body time to heal after surgery. Best wishes.

Localized swelling after BA

It is most likely swelling based on your description. Trust your surgeon. It is true that it takes at lease three months for swelling to resolve and implants to settle.
