I couldn't find anything about this while searching. One side of the bilateral ND I had is very sort of puffy. I think it was stapled unevenly, which resulted in one section sort of bulging out. None of the nurses or doctors seem concerned about it. I'm curious if anyone else had this issue. I just don't have much loose skin to help sort of hide it!

Here's a picture. This is 8 days post op. Staples removed yesterday:
