Title: Swelling vs fat
Post by: fajast on October 09, 2006, 12:37:08 PM

Hi all !

Can someone tell me how can one differentiate between swelling and fat ? is the swollen area also as soft and jiggly as fat ?

Thanks

I feel you.  I have some of that armpit stuff too.  it is reallyhard to tell for a while what it is.  There is probably some of both.  I am about 4 months PO and have a revision.  Recently, the swelling went completely down, and you can really see what was left behind.  So, all you can do is wait.

Swelling should be softer to the touch.

The previous reply to your question is a bit spacy 8)  What is he talking about. When, where, what , how - under arm stuff, revision ???
