Hi Liz-
I had a breast redux a little over 4 yrs ago. I was a F cup (OMG- it was horrible!). After the redux I ended with a D cup but it seemed to take FOREVER for all the swelling to go down. If I remember correctly I was still a bit swollen almost 9 months later. I remember at my 1 week PO appointment that I felt I was bigger than I was pre-op and horrified!
Give it time. It takes a long time for your body to heal completely. Don't over do it because you feel good and take the chance of negatively impacting your results. I learned the lesson the hard way by lifting boxes at work 3 weeks PO and hurt myself pretty bad!
Good luck!
