Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. At 7  weeks there is still swelling present. It can take 3-6 months for all the swelling to go down. A personal examination is needed to properly assess your bulge. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You still have swelling and still should be wearing a compressive garment. At six months, you will see your final results.

Garrett M. Crabtree, MD · Answer

You are still very early in the healing phase of your surgery. It usually takes 3-6 months to see your final results. I am sure you still have some swelling which will resolve over time.I recommend you check back with your surgeon. Dr Crabtree
