12 Weeks Still Sore :( Is this Normal??

WORTH IT$10,500
Hi everyone been MIA due to recovery and life...I can't say I hate my results because Dr. S did the best he could with amount of fat I had..unfortunately my body didn't adhere to most of the fat grafted but is still way nicer than what I did have or should I say didn't loll...My only concern is that I thought by now I would not be feeling the numbness, tingling and pain I'm suffering with on my back/flank areas; my butt hurts too if I'm sitting on anything hard for longer than 10 mins urrrgh...like sleeping face down for 8 weeks was not bad enough..Ladies please share if at 12 weeks one is still feeling this way and when will it get better cause my fear us that this pain will never go away :(

Wow U made it laying on stomach for 2 months!? Wow! What made you feel your body didn't accept all fat?
January 26, 2015
Yes and what a pain that was god I was miserable barely slept urrrgh the price to pay for beauty loll....I was really swollen n big right after surgery. I didn't want obvious results so I'm ok but I wish it didn't go down as much. My waist is small so that's nice. I'm swollen on my lower back too which hurts. Do you feel the need to always rub out your back because is numb and feel like you have electrodes on your back? Once I do it subsides but I must rub my back like 50x a day :(. Also can't be without my faja cause I feel like I'm gonna fall apart.

Typically pretty much normal at 6 month mark. Do you know how many cc's he grafted per cheek?
January 27, 2015
750cc...so I should expect all these weird pain, numbness and itchiness to continue up to 6 mos? Wow doc didn't mention that, mayb I didn't ask because I didn't think it take that long to heal, thanks so much for insight

Ok....it will subside gradually. The itchiness is usually abated by tge 2 month mark. Different mild sensations in the buttocks is normal. Tingling and numbness in Lipo areas take time, but should be more tolerable for you real soon

2 Weeks Update

lookgood
2 weeks today feeling better but still with stiffness especially in the mornings...my sleep is still about 3hrs before I have to get up and move around before I can sleep an additional 2-3 hrs. Sleeping on my stomach is still a challenge but I do not want to jeopardize all this sacrifice and pain.. I have definitely gone down about 1 1/2 inches but it's still looking nice , I just hope it doesn't continue to shrink (god please no). The lumpiness on my back is also concerning me feels so weird but I will wait patiently and hope is all part of this process instead of freaking out. I see me doc in 2 more weeks.

I been wearing 1 garment. I will wear this for 2 wk. then I'm going to change to smaller one. They didn't even explain the steps of garments to me at vanity. Smdh! But I wear all day and night. I take board out for a couple hours cause that thing is uncomfortable!
