2nd Surgery Swelling Question

[Guest guest]

hola!

i had SARPE done about 3 months ago and i noticed multiple posts

relaying that it normally takes around 6 months or so before swelling

really abates. i can see that this is true, because if you were to

just look at me, i don't look swollen at all, but in photos, side

angle mirrors and on video, my face looks very out of proportion and

swollen. anyone else notice things like that?

my question is: i have my second surgery in about a month and a half

(upper and lower, type III) and i was wondering if the post-surgery

swelling will be worse due to the first surgery swelling that is

still lingering, and if it will take longer for the swelling to go

down because of both surgeries combined....? will it amke any

difference at all?

and can anyone who have had a surgery 'anniversary' give me an

approximation as to how long it took before they felt completely

normal?

thanks!
