not too swollen but bruised! started back on arnica, hoping this is normal. doesn't feel any more painful than i'd assume. but i feel like i don't see bruising like this on anyone else😭

when did everyone start swelling? i'm day 2 and it's still not so bad. it's completely closed up when my legs are together like an innie. i'm scared it still may balloon up but trying to baby her as much i can do avoid! when did you notice peak swelling/bruising?

is this bruising normal? it looks so dark i'm scared. did anyone else experience bruising like this day 1? i have my surgeons number for emergencies but i don't want to overreact. thanks!

Just got home, talked with my surgeon and he was open to either method but we went with wedge. He said he's never had splits & only one revision ever so i trusted his word! He was so thorough i really appreciated it. This is first picture at home using the restroom, second is right before. Still numb but my clit feels a bit sensitive maybe from all the cold? How do i know when to take my meds to get ahead of the pain, and how did yall keep the pads moist? They gave me bacitracin but i don't remember when they said to apply. Thanks! Here's to healing!!❤️‍🩹

Surgery a week from today, I opted for a wedge with chr but my surgeon does both. Everyone says it's based on anatomy, what do you guys think my anatomy would work best with for my inspo? I'm going to speak with him before my surgery & make my final choice but i'm leaning more towards trim.

2&3 are inspo, my current is #1. Got these photos from the group hope this is okay to post.
