Tags: belly fat, time off work
I had my breasts done and I nearly died from the pain. I remeber sleeping for 2 weeks straight because I didnt want to awake and feel the pain. Now I want to have a slim tummy to match my new boobs. I will be off work for 4 days, is that enough? What can I expect? Im also going overseas in Jaunary to Thailand. Should I technically have my results by then? Id appreciate any feed back that could help me put my mind at ease cause im worrying myself crazy right now!!!

Your experience after breast augmentation sounds a lot more severe than would be expected, but it typically involves cutting the pectoral muscle. Many patients are able to resume normal ectivities within a day or two after lipo, but be sure to ask your plastic surgeon specifically what to expect.
