I understand your concern. But I would like to assure you that your doctor has done a good job and waiting for 2weeks is the right things to do. Sometimes it is common to have induration (hardness) at the site of transfer. It will settle down in some within a few weeks as rightly advised by your doctor.Also, about the swelling you have mentioned in the title, it is normal to have mild oedema over the site of transfer upto 2-3weeks after the procedure. It will subside over time.

It will take time for the swelling and hardness to subside, and it will. I usually advise my patients to give at least 4 weeks to see swelling completely resolve. You are a beautiful young lady....be patient!
