What will I need help with after brachioplasty and breast lift?

October 1, 2017
Asked By:Jessicaj121 in Richmond, TX

I’m planning on staying by myself after my surgery but am having friends check in on me each day if I need them. What exactly will I need help with? Will I be able to feed myself? Take things from the refrigerator and heat them up? Get water? Bathroom? Showering? Putting compression garmet back on? I have a wedge pillow and pillows for my arms. I’ve prepped food and have soft foods. Including yogurt smoothies with straws. I’m getting nervous so any suggestions or tips send my way!
