The swelling after a TT can overwhelm the improvement for one to three months in most patients. All the best.

After  TT   there  is  a  normal     response   of   swollen ,      for  the  first    2   weeks      you will   have lot   of    inflamation   .   That    you  will start  lossing   by  the  end   of  the  second   week after  this   time     you can  start   using   your     jeans ,  this   varies    in    some  people  that  can  take  a  bit    more  (3 to  4weeks )  .  after this maybe      you will  another   jeans   because   those     are    going to   be loose    for you ! good luck !
