It's been 8 Days since my procedure and theā€¦

It's been 8 Days since my procedure and the pain is considerably less just discomfort now. I am very swollen and have few lumps in different areas and my flanks feel hard to touch. I am a bit concern cause I got my bra strap done and my flanks but I feel I don't see I difference from behind and the fold I wanted to get rid off is still there (smaller but still there). I hope when the swelling goes away so does that otherwise I feel I just wasted my money.

Tumescent lipo on flanks, bra strap, lower and upper abdomen

It's day 6 after my procedure, the first day was very difficult please make sure you have someone with you cause changing the pads, going to bathroom and even eating it's difficult on you own. Second day was more manageable and I was alone. I got a lymphatic drainage massage as I read it help recovery and swelling. Taking off the garment was pure hell and movement is very limited at this point. I don't like feeling pain so I am taking the oxycodin, although Tylenol extra strength could work if you are though. third, and fourth day are better although the swelling is increasing, I was able to snatch a pic before it started to get super swollen. I am walking around the house and taking the garment off once a day to shower and apply neosporin and arnica to the bruises. Next massage appointment for Thursday. I went back to work on Monday night (I work overnight) and my bf and coworkers say I walk like a 80 years old lady (at least I am walking) didn't took pain medication while on shift kistbtylenol and it was manageable. The incisions are healing properly and not as many bruises (at least on my opinion). At the end of the shift my back was swollen and finding a comfortable position to sleep is dificult (I am afraid of ruining the result). Honestly wearing a bra is a nightmare so I took it off. People have told me they noticed a difference already but I feel too swollen to see it. Maybe on the side but not on the abdomen. Will update as recovery goes on.
