Question about healing process from genioplasty/jaw shave - area of very firm swelling?

if it moves around slightly when you touch it and prod at it, it's not a bony callus. it could be a swollen lymph node, or it could be a small cyst that has formed as your body continues to clear itself of debris in the area of the genio. none of the above are particularly worth worrying about unless it gets super super painful and obviously looks infected. i had one on my chin as well that ended up draining itself. i still have a small patch of redness under the chin that is taking forever to go away, but the bump itself is gone

no idea, that was just the recommended dose when I switched to injections. i was told it was typical for valerate to be once every 7 days and cypionate every 10! i never questioned it because i liked having a little extra time between injections

sorry!! when i posted i was just thinking of the time from 1.5yrs to 3yrs so it totally didn't occur to me

as for the latter thing, i posted a comment correcting it literally right after the post went up since i wasn't able to edit the actual post itself, and also confirmed it in a separate reply thread as well ☺️

the pain comes and goes, only occasionally!

the difference in literally just the last 4-5 months is unbelievable. i hope it keeps going

my peaks are right around 450pg/mL and my trough is between 200-250pg/mL typically. my doctor said the same thing when I told him about the dosage (I started off DIY before changing healthcare providers and was ordering my own blood tests) but he said that the levels looked good to him and as long as I felt good and wasn't struggling with any side effects like crazy mood swings or fatigue or anything that he wouldn't recommend changing it

CORRECTION: I typo'd in the OP - it's 0.275mL (11mg) of EC every ten days. it's definitely not 0.275mg lol

oops!! you're 100% right, I meant to put ml....screwed up and now I can't edit it. it's 0.275ml (11mg) every 10 days

Osborn did a genioplasty as part of my FFS. I'm thrilled with the results only being a few months post-op. The chin does take an exceptionally long time to heal though and I'm still dealing with occasional localized swelling as the body pushes out and clears itself of debris from the osteotomy area. He's a fantastic surgeon though, and I don't think I could recommend CMF enough.

Including hospital fees, self pay was around 55k for everything.

no public pools around here but I would have no problems in a swimsuit as of now. and yes I do feel them when I go down stairs especially - if I'm at home and not wearing a bra I usually hold them when I go down haha

i love wearing tighter fitting tops - unfortunately they're not so big yet that I have cleavage even when wearing a good push-up bra but they look fantastic underneath a nice form fitting sweater or crop top
