nursemidwife7
Im 2 weeks post op. I had a tummy tuck with lipo back and flanks along with a brazilian butt lift. I have no pain to my stomach or lipo areas. But my left buttocks is alot more painful, swollen and hot compared to the right. Im doing ibuprofen and soma. It doesnt seem to provide enough relief. My surgeon said its normal, and i have asymmetrical swelling which will heal. I'm so miserable and the pain is just getting to me. What else can i do? Do i need a 2nd opinion?
