I am in my third week post operation. My tip was requested to be smaller. More refined. It is very large, bulbous and bigger than before. I understand this is swelling. I also understand that perhaps, my doctor was very conservative during surgery.

After the 3-4 month mark, most people don't notice any more changes. Will this apply for me?
