Should I buy a walker? Cane?

February 5, 2017
Asked By:wlsjen in Dallas, TX

I'm having multiple proceedures. I've seen several suggestions from RS members about using a walker for a couple of days post op from Tummy Tuck. I will also be getting lipo to my flanks and back rolls, and breast implants with a lift. Will a walker help me get up and get around, or will it hurt too much with the breast surgery?
