I was swollen and sore after my first fill on Friday.

Swelling- not sure why but firm around the upper chest. I'll ask why next time.

Soreness- I described it like this to my husband. Imagine you have a belt around a major organ and someone just tightened the belt a notch. Not really painful but definitely sore...you know it's been done. It took 3-4 days for soreness to be unnoticeable.

Good luck! I hope you are feeling better now.

Just curious... is that a normal first fill? I am still learning ... and a newbie regarding this whole fill process...but that seems like it might be a lot for a first fill? Some of the veterans are going to have to help us out with that one.

It feels great to share this life changing journey and amazing experience with so many going through the same things! I have told only a few very close family and friends and none of them had even heard of this procedure before. I'm on my own... I rely on you all to lead the way.

My humble thanks.
