11 weeks post op bankart hill sachs lesion surgery

Need some real talk from people who’ve been down this road

I’m 11 weeks post-op after a surgery on my right shoulder. Had to get it done because of recurrent dislocations

Right now I’m in advanced physio, staying consistent, doing everything I’m supposed to. Range of motion is improving, strength is slowly coming back.

But visually?

My right shoulder still looks off.

It sits a bit different, feels tighter, and doesn’t have the same fullness or shape as my left

I know I’m still early in recovery, but I’d be lying if I said it’s not messing with my head a bit.

So for anyone who’s had this surgery or something similar:

Did your shoulder ever regain that same fullness and symmetry?

Or is that kind of a pipe dream after this type of surgery?

When did things start looking “normal” again for you?

Anything specific that actually helped bring back size and shape?

I’m putting in the work, not cutting corners just trying to figure out if I’m on the right track or barking up the wrong tree.

Appreciate any insight from people who’ve actually been through it.
