was swelling with LBL or upper body worse?

Just trying to prepare myself mentally.  I had the lower body lift last october and had swelling for 6 months.  I am scheduled for upper body this october...arms and the girls.  For those of you that had both let me know which one you thought was worse.  Thanks in advance.  And if you didn't have the surgery yet but have heard somthing about it - I value your opinion too!!!  :)
