Liposuction + Standing Up Q&A

I got lipo done on my inner and back thigh, currently 16 days post op. I was perfectly fine the first week, but since have started to feel pain and tightness at the back of my thigh on both legs. I feel severe pain when I get up after sitting down or sleeping. Need to get up slowly and pain goes away after a couple of minutes. Have put on ace bandage on both my thighs, then the pain and tightness is lessened and bearable. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Is there a fix

I am having liposuction on my calves in ten days. I am so scared of what the pain will be like once I stand up and try to walk. Can anyone give me an idea? I'm really nervous.

Hi, I just had abdominal Lipostructure and I am trying to walk around to get the blood going only I feel extremely nauseous and light headed when I get moving.

Could someone please explain why a plastic surgeon requires a patient to stand up in operating room and washed down with prep ointment instead of doing it after sedation? I had this done and was not made aware of this practice ahead of time, I was mortified! I am sure it was no big deal for the staff but for me to be completely naked in the middle of O.R, arms out to side, legs spread and an all male O.R. Staff was traumatizing. Is this common practice?

I had my inner and outer thighs and inner knee done three days ago. I am planning to go back to work tomorrow ( I work as a restaurant manager and I have to stand and walk for at least 6 hours a day). I am afraid that going back to work can have some negative impact on my health or lipo results.
