It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling.

See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your inquiry, but without an exam it is impossible to advise. The fact one side hurts much more than the other is concerning-please reach call your surgeon to at least discuss on the phone-good luck.
