i live in the same area. Dr v. is a terrible dr. I was hoping for you that it wasnt for your sake. i go in for tt on fri. i have had several procedures on my breast i am not really nervous. I am just hoping everything turns out problem free and i havent set my expectations too high. post your pics. i am sure people will tell you that it looks normal. i havent had it yet to tell you. its probably just feeling you get from being stuck in the house and wanting to heal quicker. good luck to you :)

The swelling is all a normal and annoying part of this process.  It will get better but could take weeks to totally go away.

I know you are frustrated and worried but just have a little patience and allow your body to heal.  You are so early in this process so try not to make any decisions just yet. 

You will continue to see changes in your body for weeks after this surgery. 

Focus on eating a healthy diet, slow and gradual exercise, and resting.  It will turn around in time.  Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water and stay away from sodium.

Listen to Kimmers because what she is telling you is the truth! It does get better with time, swelling is part of the recovery. I'm almost 4 weeks out and STILL have swelling but it looks SO much better than before! Good luck and hang in there!!
