I was still pretty swollen and bruised after a week. I tried to look and couldn't really see anything because the area was so swollen. Now, at nearly 2 weeks, everything looks back to normal.
I would ask your CRS about applying anything to the area. Everyone seems to get different aftercare instructions. I've read some members were told not to apply anything. Mine gave me lidocaine to use after my LIS. She said I could use it if I felt the need. A week post op, her nurse called me with my biopsy results and said my doc told her to pass on that I could now continue using nifedipine if it made me feel better. I think it all depends on CRS protocol.
