 Re: Elevating

You're doing the right thing.

I kept mine elevated non-stop for probably a few weeks post op with the only time it was down was going to the bathroom and showering. I slowly started to let it hang, but it takes a while before letting it hang doesn't hurt. Mine would turn purple and swell within a minute of putting it down in the beginning.

It will get better with time.
