TOPIC: Ellanse Swelling touch up round...

Those of you that have gone in for more than one round of Ellanse, how was the swelling compared to the first round. First time I got 13 (is it cc's?) this time I'm going back in for Kenalog on a lump, and 4 more cc's to even everything out. Really struggling to get away for a whole week. So I would get it done on a Friday mid day, and have to be back home the following Wed.

Last time it seemed to take the better part of a whole week for the swelling to go down to look somewhat normal. Hoping that it's not as bad on the touch up, since I'm getting 1/3 of what I got the first time.

Also, as a side note. What is the reasoning behind not doing any weight lifting for the first week? It's boring as hell, and I would love to hit the gym during the healing, but they keep saying don't, but I would like to know the reasoning why. No cardio, running, etc. Just lifting weights.

Thanks Guys

I think it just has to do with the overall swelling in that region if the body. There’s going to be a lot of fluid building up down there. And when you lift your testicles are tightening up along with other muscles down there. So I think it would just prolong the healing a little. Same instructions were given to not lift for a week after my Circumcision but I was doing the stair master three days later. A LOT less swelling though from that procedure.

Had to cancel this a couple of times for scheduling conflicts. Finally got it on the books for the first week of March.

So pumped to see how it looks all smoothed out.

Dstern, do you have photos uploaded somewhere? I'm struggling to find a progress thread..
