Yes. Had mine done 4-20-23 & the bulge is still there. But not as bad or big as it used to be. I go to a PT & she works on it weekly to get it to go down & so far it's working! Plus I rub it like she taught me & use ice packs on the days it's swollen pretty bad.
Hang in there, it'll go down.

My surgery was 4/25 and I had a bulge at the incision site that felt like half a green grape sticking out of my neck. It's totally gone now. Just needed to settle in.
