To Pain Pump or Not to Pain Pump After Full Lipoabdominalplasty?

August 22, 2010
Asked By:sicily35 in Florida

My surgery is in 3 weeks so I have many questions and concerns! And although my doctor has been able to address most of concerns I really want to know from people who have had the procedure! Does the Q pain pump make that big of difference in recovery or is it just one more thing to have to deal with? secondly, what type of compression garment is best? I am going to be having lipo on the "bulge" just below my c-section scar so an underwear garment seems like it would be necessary. Suggestions?
