4.5 weeks post surgery

Hi!

I’m 4.5 weeks post surgery. I feel like the right side of my chest is hard and lumpy and a little similar on my left. I am feeling pretty disheartened as it looks pretty much the same as pre-surgery. It felt flatter after the surgery.

I’ve been reassured I’m no where near the final result, as it can take at least 6 weeks. But looking at other people’s pics on here I can’t see any swelling around 4-5 weeks.

What was your experience? Does it go down / flatten?
