Lipo of the Flanks, Upper & Lower Back, & Breast Reduction - Birmingham, AL

I'm two weeks post op for my lower abs, waist and hips. my tummy was so big they had to do it in two procedures. I'm only one week post op from the back side waist and hips. Girl this burning and itching is crazy. Every once in a while I get little bee sting like sensations. I asked the nurse when she called to check on me if my entire trunk should burn like it does. She said "oh yes, it kinda feels like a sunburn (One heckuva massive sunburn, I think). You really look nice for only being a few days post op. My bruising was insane! I've never seen people look like the mess I did when I took off my garment. Did they provide you a compression garment? That will be a love hate relationship. Sometimes it itches and drives you nuts to have it on, but you feel strange without the support. They also say it helps keep your swelling down. I wake up with my trunk burning and swelled up each morning, it's a very tight feeling and I'm sorry to say, been told it can take up to 3-4 months for that numb weird tight burn and itch sensation. One of the gals on here suggested Benadryl. Girl it helped with my itching somewhat. I must say though, you look very nice for it being so soon. I wish you a blessed recovery and congratulations on your new self and for having the guts to GO FOR IT!

How was your recovery process ?
