I had lipo to my inner/outer thighs and flanks butt contouring, and fat transfer to my breasts. I am 5"4 and was 160 post op. I was told the surgeon removed 6L. The first week I was unable to walk without assistance, weak, and experienced extreme pain! This week I am feeling way better still some stiffness but am walking and feeling more energetic.
