Recovery time

[johnep]

Hi,
I'd just like to know how it takes to recover from the operation (no more pain, no vest, etc) and also how long it'll take to see the final effects of the operation.
Thanks.

Everyone is a bit different. But, my story goes like this.

I'm at week 2 post op

Vest stays on (typically) 2-4 weeks.
I have a roaming soar sensation that is pretty mild. It comes and goes, nothing interesting.
About three to six weeks, the bulk of the swelling will go down.
3 months you should be at about the right soze
Up to 12 months to get the final result.

I'm sure it varies for everyone, but, this should kinda help.
