15 months post op and still “swelling" - what can I do? (photos)

March 22, 2023
Asked By:Girl_in_Black in Lakeland, Florida

To start off, six days after my surgery I felt like I had an abnormal amount of swelling and brought it to my PS and she vehemently and repeatedly assured me that it was normal. However, here I sit, 15 months later with this bulge that I feel is not “normal”. She sent me for CT which she reviewed and said it was fine and no issues noted, however she has basically dropped me since and never held my 1 year post op appt. or any other follow ups.
