Re: Swelling/Puffy Cheeks Up And Down At 5 Months Post-Op

[Guest guest]

Hey Nic,

I am right behind you. I had surgery on July 8 and I still get

swelling off and on also. Some days I look almost back to normal and

other days I am puffy on one side or the other or both. I can't

figure out what sets it off. My OS said up to a year for everything

to fall back in place so I am not worrying about it yet.

Thanks Marsha,

Remind me did you have lower only or both done?

I just can't see how it can come up again like this for no apparent

reason. My current theories as to why it is bad at the moment are

1) 'cos I've got a big party this weekend! or more likely 2) The

weather here in the uk has started to get quite cold and I'm

thinking it could be the drastic temprature changes between outside

and when I come inside. Probably silly, but something must have

caused it to come back up.
