Does it look normal or muscle repair lopsided? I have been wearing my garments 24x7, massaging, being careful but the more I heal the more I notice the swelling seems worse / more prominent on the full left side (top to bottom) as shown in the pic. I did have a cough that came on 4 days post op and lasted a week... my surgeon says it’s normal swelling but wanted to get additional thoughts / feedback. I will post before pics too Incase that helps.
