theres always swelling and stuff after a week. wait a while before you start getting worried.

call your doc might be a hematoma(sp) large blood clot.

8 days?

Some doctors say it take upto 12 months to heal.

Give it some time before you start getting worried.

I am kind of in the same situation. One month post-op. Definite improvement but the side that was bigger before is still a little puffy. It has gotten slightly better over the last couple of weeks, but I hope it goes down a little more. The other side is great.

Chroniq, was your case mainly glandular and relatively minor compared to others you've seen?

Just a heads up. If you had asymmetry before the op, you will have asymmetry after the op.

ok guys i seen him today, he said he never seen it this bad it just means it will take longer to heal. he wants me to apply hot compress on both. mine was mainly lipo i didnt have puffy nipples. And they were symetrical, and looking staright at them in this condition its still even it just bigger and harder/tender on the left side. Going away to jamaica in july hope i can at least wear an t shirt even if i can't go bare.
i forgot to ask him when can i start the gym? take vitamin pills? and i need to get rid of this gutt any suggestions on that dillema?
