I tried to go to other places after consulting with Brown, but after seeing the doctors, I was convinced, so I made a reservation and had the surgery right away. It's been about a month already. At first, it was completely swollen and I had to put a bandage on it for 2 days. On the 2nd day, I took the bandage off and gave it 8 hours a day for sore spots. The big swelling goes away in about a week. After working hard for a month or so, the v-line is sore . I'll post a picture next time. There's no picture on the computer, so there's no pain . But I don't know how long it will last. When I contacted the hospital, they told me to wait for a week or two during the recovery process, so I'm waiting.
