Hi, I'm recently lost almost 100lbs and am now left with this large apron of fat...it is beginning to cause me pain. I am not done loosing weight, but was wondering if having it removed before i have reached my goal was ideal because of the pain it is now causing?
Quality of life diminished. I had an LBL done may 2019 to correct a botched TT by a different surgeon. Nerve pain & chronic inflammation since 7 months post op. Things continued worsening. I have issues with my legs ( medial thighs rub since surgery & were larger then I went in with beyond healing) & im physcially uneven with excess bulging on my sides when sitting. I'm left with pain near my pirformis muscle( under my scar) & my right saddlebag/hip daily. I'm visibly uneven since. Can this be fixed ?
I know sometimes body lift patients can experience numb and burning thighs after a body lift. If this happens because of a suture compressing a nerve or damage to the nerve, what happens next? How long does it take and how do you get the burning pain to resolve?
I've been diligent about wearing my garment and for the last week or so I've not wearing it as much and either wearing spanx shorts or just underwear. I've noticed now that I'm a bit achy, the incision area is fairly sensitive and there has been some minor pain after weening myself off of the compression garment. Do these symptoms mean I should still wear it 24:7 or is this just normal?
How common is it to experience Meralgia paresthetica after a LBL? (5-2019) I've had nerve issues since around 6-7 months post op. The burning has turned to complete numbness. I have chronic inflammation& pain from my pirformis/si joint through groin & thigh. Im told no surgeon will help fix my medial thighs until the nerve issues are resolved. I waited over a yr for a nuero to help me. I still cant lay on my stomach & right side & my legs rub & look worse. Still no help... I need my life back.
Im 27 years old and i got a lower body lift of lower back and tummy tuck with monsplasty and upper thigh lift with butt augmentation for symmetry. Its ben 3 weeks post op and it seems as if my penis has gotten smaller? It just looks shriveled, erections in the AM stopped happening. first week post op had a lot of swelling of penis and scrotum with some bruising. 2 weeks post op blood and pain to urinate (probably from foley) is this normal? Will i regain normal penile function and size?
Spot w/ persistent pain & puffiness & newly developed stretch marks. But the skin is not tight in that spot, in fact its the only spot where skin can be grabbed and lifted up. Being out of my compression garment causes a lot of discomfort. Putting my hand on my back to hold up the skin is the only thing that relieves it until I'm back in the garment. Any idea why there are there stretch marks, why is the skin loose or what is causing the pain? Seeing my MD next week to discuss but was curious
I am post op day 9 from a belt lipectomy, tummy tuck and arm lift. I have had a pretty easy journey with pain hovering 5-6 out of 10 and sometimes 7. I went to my surgeon Wednesday PO day 5 and was changed from hospital garment to design by Veronique. It hurts my ribs, my crotch and makes me sore all over. I'm going to go in to my dr and order a different one (knee Knee length not bathing suit style) tomorrow but am just wondering besides the swelling what is the purpose?
I had a 360 body lift exactly one month ago today. I'm healing up very nicely so far. No problems. No major issues. I did, however, wake up this morning to a pain under my incision in a small area on my lower back. It's as if someone is poking me with a straight pin and it feels internal. My husband didn't see any holes or sutures poking out or anything. It hurts to bend over and to sit with my back pressed up against something. Theres an itchy sensation too. What do you think it is?
I still have severe pain (needles and tightness) on both sides of my body. When I rub those areas the is lots of burning pain deep below the surface. Belts hurt, snugg waistbands, basically anything with elastic waistbands. I usually buy clothing 2 time bigger if they have elastic. I am very active 56 years old, ride bikes and walking daily. it feel like sutures were left in and I am ripping at them daily. Any suggestions?
