Hello @Lagirl94, thank you for your question. Depending on the surgical technique and approach, there may be a period of inflammation after the surgery. There are generally predetermined times for surgeries. After surgery, the early stages of recovery usually occur between the first and second months, while a full recovery can take up to eight months. In general, the more technology used, the quicker tissues recover, but it is still important to have an experienced surgeon using this technology. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Lagirl94,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Dear. it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough detailed examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Very limited info presented. So might recommend resting and taking anti inflammatory meds for 1 week. If this does not help. Either call your chosen operative surgeon or seek second opinions virtually or in person. I might also suggest ultrasound examination done by a Plastic Surgeon. For example I charge $800. As for other causes: scar tissue beg stretched, fat necrosis, fat cysts forming, etc. Guess having ultrasound might give you peace of mind. You can virtual consult with....

I too feel sore when I have to stand all day. Probably not much a plastic surgeon can do other than tell you to take a rest. Serious pain requires a formal work up by a pain specialist.
