I am having a very hard time getting rid of my love handles despite diet and exercise! I am a 37 years old female, at 120lbs and 5 8, and eat well! I don't want to lose more weight, because then my BMI will be very low! I want to get liposuction on my flanks but I am afraid of the pain level after. I have kids and will only have partial help during recovery! By the way, I honestly don't have the best pain tolerance... Is lipo realistic for someone with low pain tolerance? Thank you for your feedback!
Answer: Manageable Soreness After Liposuction Please be aware that my comments here are general and can’t be taken as specific medical advice. I certainly understand your concern, but in my experience with hundreds of liposuction patients, I have found most of them to be pleasantly surprised by the comfort level of their recovery. Firstly, you'll be prescribed pain medication to help manage any discomfort in the first days after surgery. Most patients describe the sensation as comparable to a large bruise or what they'd feel the day after a hard workout. You won't be permitted to do any sort of heavy lifting for several weeks after surgery, so if your children are still young enough to be picked up, you'll need to arrange for some assistance. I hope this helped to clear things up.

Answer: Liposuction Recovery Although a certain amount of discomfort following liposuction is to be expected, significant pain is generally not experienced by most patients. Patients usually feel quite comfortable after 2-3 days.

Answer: Liposuction of love handles. Is the recovery very painful? Thank you for your question. Most patients are able to tolerate liposuction quite well, with little complaints of acute pain, but rather a dull soreness. Depending on the amount of liposuction performed, you should only need a couple of days of assistance before you will find yourself returning to the majority of your everyday activities.

Answer: Pain associated with liposuction I describe the pain associated with liposuction as similar to that of a deep bruise. I find that liposuction of the love handles is not a particularly painful area, while liposuction of the flanks (higher on the back near the bra line) is more uncomfortable. As with most plastic surgery procedures, the pain is more significant in the first 2-3 days after surgery, though you will have some discomfort in the areas treated for several weeks. I advise patients not to drive while they're on pain medication and until they feel like they can do so safely (i.e. slam on the brakes, swerve to avoid an accident, etc.), which for most liposuction patients is about a week. In terms of the other aspects of taking care of kids, most moms only need help for a few days.
