i had TT, liposuction of flanks + abdominal muscle repair. i feel the pain mostly under my boobs towards to belly button. this is the muscle repair area. it's very very hard to breathe. it's only day two so far and it's BRUTAL. i actually feel better when i’m standing VS being in bed. my back hurts too

I did lipo on my back and some on my flanks but my doctor said I didn't have much fat to work with but he did what he could and it was pretty pricey but totally worth the price.

Congratulations hun you look snatched! To help with the healing process I heard eat fresh pineapples or take bromelain. And for bruising take arnica tablets and use the topical arnica gel. My surgery is on Saturday and I'm freaking hype, nervous, anxious and ready to "shat my chaps" lmao. Keep up on ur pain meds, stay hydrated, and stay moving(from what I've read). I wish you a speedy recovery and congratulations again!!!

you look great! can i ask your stats prior to surgery? and have you had a BBL before since you said this doesn't hurt as bad? and how much was your current surgery? also, did you have to get tested for covid-19 before surgery? thanks and best wishes for speedy recovery... can't wait to see your before pics.

I will post a before & after picture Thursday when I go see my doctor I was too excited that I'd don't even get a picture of my before. Yes I had a bbl 3 years ago with dr. Fisher in Miami he was amazing and I asked for a biggo booty but since they took fat out of my stomach so my stomach looked worse. Yes I feel like BBL was worse I guess just the first 3 days was worse but after that just very uncomfortable. I have a high tolerance for pain im guessing I paid 16500 for my current surgery because I also had lipo on my back.

Omg I know the feeling .. I am on my 5th day post op and the last 2 nights were a night mare .. due to the anaesthetic I developed a dry throat and coughing is causing so much pain, it’s excruciating and feels like all the work the dr has done by repairing muscles will become undone.. I’ve been advised there is nothing to worry about as the force of coughing and sneezing will not open up the sutures but it sure as hell feels like that!
