2-3 weeks before fill takes effect?



Recommended Posts

Does this happen to anyone else too??

I've had three fills since surgery, and all of them were immediately noticeable.

For you, I'm thinking that maybe the fill wasn't enough.....this time around?

With my first fill I didn't notice any difference. My second fill (now at 5.0 cc) it took about 1.5 before I felt restriction.

Today was my 3rd fill (now at 5cc). I've had a full cc the last 2 fills. While, I feel some "restriction" immediately, an hour that tightness subsides.

Then about 2-3 weeks later (usually a week before I'm due for another fill) I get really tight.

I'm still not at the 4 hours no hunger stage even though I have 5 cc's.

Yes, sometimes it takes about 2-3 weeks before a fill settles in, this is why it's important not to get piggy back fills, and wait the recommended 4-6 weeks between fills.
