Ok i had surgery back in may (18th). Was extremeley happy with the results post op completley flat

but now it seems to have crept up again. Before i could look down and see no chest now i have a chest again :(. I really dont know whether this is swelling or fat i cant feel a big gland like i could before the surgery and my chest is nowhere near as bad as before!

My question is, could this still be swelling 4 1/2 months on? Or is this really my final result

When i went to see my surgeon back in june he said, yeah its just some swelling and it will be gone by september. It hasnt and im a bit letdown really

I will try and get some pics up when ive got my phone back.

haha true enough, still havent got my phone back should be tuesday

What are your experiences with swelling? Ive read before that it can take 2 years for the swelling to dissapear. But how can you tell swelling from fat?

decided to go doctors

she said Ive got scar tissue on my right side, giving it the more pronounced look. Told me to just keep on massaging it with bio oil and it should break it down. She couldn't give me a time frame, just said to be persistent!

so ill do that!
