3wks PO and concerned with swelling

So today im 3wks po..the swelling on the side just isnt getting any better and I know Ive been told to be patient but Im just scared that It'll stay like this and I refuse to go under again after having TT 1yr ago and now a BL/BR and tummy tuck revision..is there anyone iut there that this happened to? As many reviews that I've read I dont think I've come across many if any of girls complaining about the same thing..anyway other than that I am very pleased with the shape and with my TT revision...not much more had changed...oh yes wait..sensation..ok so I was never one to really have much to begin with and I know the lost of sensation is a possibility but OMG, what about the total opposite!! I have to cover them with blankets and pillow when im around a fan..the cold from a/c at work is killing me..the are so so sensitive to air..whats up with that??

2wk po

So the side swelling on the side of my breast running underneath my arm has me concerned..is it swelling, fat? I dont know..I just hope it goes down soon..has anyone else experienced this? My tummy is doing great so far..I go back to the Dr. On the 16th and I'm assuming the tape will be removed then and hope to be able to start the silicone gel strips..back to work on Monday..I took 2 wks off..I have a desk job so I think I'll be ok..I will update in a week and hope swelling is down by then..

Im 41yrs old. I had a Tummy Tuck in March 2013 and yesterday I had my breast lift and breast reduction and a tummy tuck revision yesterday..
I'm in a lot pain, I don't remember being in this much pain when I got my TT..but it's all worth it..went today to my post op appt..Dr said it all looks good..when I saw them I couldn't believe it..I've wanted this done for so long and my dream came true. I know I'm just 1 day POKER and it's a long road to recovery but I'm glad I did it..I also have a post in the TT section of RS. Unable to upload pics from my phone. Will try later
