  Dear Nicky, I believe you are analyzing everything a bit deeper than necessary. I do not know of this timing issue you speak of, as I just sent a friendly post to make an attempt to connect with you as a prior patient. Please accept the statements I am making in reference to my post surgery experience as valid and accurate, and I can prove that to you with photos of my surgery. You wondered why I did not have a profile. I have not gone through the process of registering simply because I have been busy with school as I am studying science courses and it takes up a great deal of my time. I had initially written to you to try and share my experience, and mention that I had similar worries about swelling, as I can relate to your concerns. In fact, at one point, it consumed my thought process and I could not focus on other tasks. I was very distracted, and could not be productive, which led me to seek counseling through a physician my family had set me up with. It helped at the time, as I learned to focus on other things. Was this necessary in the end? Probably not, but I am just mentioning this to show how it had affected me at the time. Hang in there, and don't worry so much because it just makes the time go slower, and makes it feel like the issue you are experiencing is lingering, as this is what made me feel unsettled after my operation. But the bottom line is that I couldn't be happier, as it was the best decision I have ever made and changed my life so much for the better. Everything fell into place, it just took a little bit of time. I know where you are coming from, and just wanted to help out. Hope I was able to help put you at ease a bit, feel free to ask me any questions about my procedure.

  Hi there, definitely give it time. Swelling took a while to go down for my revision, like at least a year. It's just the nature of it. I was more and more pleased as time went by. I think your afters look great. I know we are all hard on ourselves sometimes, but from an outside perspective there is really nothing wrong with it. I was worried about lingering swelling too but things worked themselves out. Stay confident, patience was key for me:)
