The first 2 days post op was the most painful period for me. Felt nausea & light headed from the pain & had to rest in bed. The 3rd day post op, I went back to work. I had heavy leaking on the 1st night of op, very light leaking on 2nd & 3rd day post op. I wore the Compression sleeves 24/7 as I saw my sagging arms 1st day post op so I kept the compression sleeve on all the time, taking it off only during bath time. Expect serious swelling on 1 week which slowly subsides following end of 2nd week (which is me now) bruising is still prominent on my right arm but both arms are really slim now & compression sleeve feels loose already. Please note that this is my 3rd arm lipo so I might not haf as much fat cells as compare to a 1st timer lipo patient. I think the compression sleeve is the best thing in the world post op, my healing is much better this time round, I never had compression sleeves for my 1st 2 lipo & skin sagged & was very lumpy. Current status of my arms are great, skin is firmly attached to the muscle with very little lumps.
It's my 2nd week now swelling has gone down & my arms are really slim but this is already my 3rd lipo so doctor did comment that there will be a significant result as compared to my first 2 liposuction. If this is your 1st lipo, you will need to ask yr doctor to show you his patient's results & ask him how confident he is with your fat reduction after lipo. My arms are rock hard & slightly lumpy now but it will go away in a few months time.
