4 weeks post op. Double bubble? Swelling? (photos)

January 28, 2015
Asked By:Shar86 in Dallas, TX

Hi, I had Silicone smooth rounds places sub muscular. I did not need or have a lift. Immediately after surgery I was very swollen and my left incision seemed 'higher' than the right. As swelling has gone down, the incision hasn't. My PS saw me yesterday and says we need to wait several months to see if the skin will relax and residual swelling subside. If not and it bothers me, he will do a revision. Does this look like swelling? Or the dreaded double bubble? Other than this they are great!!
