Asked By:Paisley23 in Duluth, MN

I am 5'4" 125 lbs with pre-op 34a size. I had augmentation lift and lipo on the "bat wings". It has been 24 days since surgery, I got 300cc style 20HP, I am having trouble lifting my arms, it feels tight and sore. I can't put shirts or tank tops on or put my hair in a ponytail. Is this normal? What can I do to improve my situation? Thanks!
