Swelling question

Hello there all! I have a swelling question for those of you who have had an extended TT, breast lift and augmentation. I have searched this forum and although I did find references to swelling, not an answer to my specific question.

Like some on the forum, my upper abdomen looks bigger than I thought it would but the doctor says it is swelling. As far as I can tell he brought my abdomen skin down about 4 inches (I can tell because that is how much lower my port and port incision is now) I am almost 5 weeks out and seem to have quite a bit of swelling still, even around the scar and mons.

For those of you who are 4 months past your surgery date (or more) - how far out were you when you felt like the swelling was gone? are there some past 4 months that are still swollen? I know I am still "new" but like many of you I am sure, I am anxious to see the end result.

I do have before and after pics and will have to find out how to add to my posts before posting them.

Thanks.
