6 Days Post-Op with Dr. Fielding....Your Thoughts!

[postop2009]

Hey guys,

I just had surgery with Dr. Fielding in Toronto last Wednesday (May 20th), it has been 6 days so I just took off the vest and I am very pleased with the results!

Here are the post-op pictures (sorry no pre-op).

I am very swollen and bruised with the right side being more swollen than the left, but this is normal so I am not too worried about it.

For those of you who had Fielding.......When and for how much longer do you recommend I wear the compression vest?

Thanks for your input guys.

Looks good. Seems to match your build well. What are those deep purple marks on your right side tho? Hopefully just bruising.

My god youve got some brusing there, im lucky ive got an olive skin tone dont hardly bruise . Yeah those deep purple marks are just bruising are you taking any arnica or anything? Try and get some pure pineapple juice aswell helps alot with swelling

But yeah looks good mate, once the swellings gone down youl look gyne free

my right side is a bit more swolen than my left aswell, weird

Yup my right side is much more swollen than my left as well.  I was surprised that I did not have much bruising.  I mean I had visible bruising but not to that extent.  I'm about 11 days postop and I still have some yellowing

Thanks for the reassurance fellas, I appreciate it.

I have the vest off now should I still be wearing it though? Anyone?

I was told to wear mine for 6 weeks, either that or something that compresses like under armor, which I am now wearing if I wear a tshirt, I am 2 weeks post.  I am sticking to it, no point in not wearing something if it will just improve my results.

Definitely be wearing that vest, man.  I had my 4 week post-op appt yesterday and I was told to keep wearing it until then.  I'm now wearing under armor but I didn't skimp on wearing my initial vest at all.  There were times I wanted to pull my hair out because it bugged me so much.  Gotta keep the eyes on the prize though.
