    Everyone is different, Andrea. Don't despair. Your body is adjusting to having a procedure done...moving a little bit each day will help. I had those same burning sensations too (from the laser portion). My arms especially hurt for over a month afterwards. Taking a shower may help you to feel better. I remember loving the sensation of the warm water running over my skin, but it did make a few of the incision sites feel a bit itchy too. I needed help the first few times zipping my garment up after the surgery, especially since your body tends to swell up. Having someone there to help can be invaluable when putting it back on. My boyfriend was great about zipping me up!

    For reasons unknown and despite attempts to correct, the wrong location is shown where I had my surgery. It was in Los Angeles. Not WA.

    The surgeon who did my work is no longer working at the location I went to.

    Thank you, Mrs. Davis. I'm glad to hear you had a great experience. And believe it or not, your results will continue to get better as the months go by.

    I'm 5 days post op from body jet lipo/laser and a brazilian butt lift (fat transfer). On day two, I looked amazing...then the swelling came. Pain also recurs in different areas that were treated in waves. The last few days, it's been my upper arms that hurt. A few days ago, it was my hips and thighs. From what I'm reading this alternating pain from one area to another is pretty normal. I wear my compression garments 24/7 and I think it does help, but also like the feeling of support. My pubic area is swollen and bruised. Hydrocodone doesn't seem to help with the pain very much. Getting comfortable to lay down is virtually impossible and changing positions in bed is pretty difficult too. Getting out of bed is a bit of an ordeal in the morning! I had my arms, upper/lower abs, lateral back and flanks done (love handles). To be honest, I've had little to no pain in my abdominal flank area. It's my arms and butt that hurt the most. Had I only had my midsection treated, my recovery thus far would've been a piece of cake and I can see why so many people are told they can go back to work in few days. But to do everything I did in one session? I just don't think it's possible. I'm taking 10 days off to recup from this and think I'll need every one of those days. Worth the pain? Absolutely. Even with compression garments on, clothes I haven't been able to wear are fitting me LOOSE in the areas that previously appeared unsightly.
