Had upper and lower Lipo with a breast reduction....

Had upper and lower Lipo with a breast reduction. I am still very sore, very. When I wear the compression garment it makes my skin hurt. I don't really know how to describe it. I thought recovery would be easier.
I had 8lbs removed.
I would love to hear from those who are still hurting after this amount of time.
Can't really enjoy the results because I am so uncomfortable.

Great review?

I am on my 4 weeks I have almost my entire body liposuction and breast reduction. I hate garment, but I still wear 24/7 right now, and yes, it is soooo uncomfortable and I'm still swelling, especially around my abdominal area. My breast reduction is still hurt me, everytime I try to bend down. I feel like my breast muscle just pulling apart. If anybody has that experience, please let me know when would it goes away. Thanks.

Hi I had upper and lower abdomen, flanks, bra roll and a great breast reduction from ddd or sometimes f to a nice d. I would never go through the initial pain from the liposuction again. Ever. I had 10 lbs removed. I am 50 so don't know if the recovery is harder or what. But the garment is so tight and uncomfortable that who can eat? So do I look better because of the weight I'm forced to lose or because of the liposuction?

I fully understand what you are going through.I am 4 wks postop and extremely sore, like the sunburn and knife stabbing. I hate the garment but I am scared not to wear it. The mild pain medicine I take doesn't even phase me. Please let me know if you are getting better.
