I had my last of 3 surgeries on May 1st. My nipple area and parts of my breast are still swollen. How long has it taken for your swelling to go down?

most swelling gone after approx six weeks
Healing rates are very individual and influenced by many factors. I had a seroma, fluid accumulation after surgery. By 5 or 6 weeks my breast was pretty much back to near normal. Now after 7 days of rads it has started , to swell again. This time it seems to be lymphedema.
If swelling increases, there is redness, pain and heat or if you have fever or chills call your surgeon.
