Swelling, 8 days post BA, when should I expect them to go down? (photo)

May 18, 2018

Feeling pretty great about my BA so far but the swelling around my breasts is beginning to bother me. Ever since I had my drains out of 1st day post op the fluid has noticeably been collecting around my implants. I am now 8 days post op and I have been given the ok to massage (10x a day!!!) I am taking arnica and rubbing arnica gel on my armpit incisions (3x a day) they are still hard. When should I expect the swelling to go down?
