Liposuction Pain

I am almost 6 weeks out from a bl, lbl, and lipo on thighs and lower back. I STILL have stingy pains in the outer thighs, it is horrible. I can't wait until it feels better. I still wear my binder hoping it will help, so I think you are in for the long haul!

6 weeks?! eek!  Those stingy pains are the worst too!  I also had some lipo in my back area but barely notice it compared to the theighs..... Hope your pain ends soon!

I haven't had my lipo yet - but will be on Tues.
Anyway - I have always heard that it's more painful. Think about the amount of trauma your body is being put through with lipo - it's a rather violent looking procedure. Tummy tuck they cut a large area of skin and then pull it down - but lipo they repeatedly OVER AND OVER AND OVER shove it under your skin. YOUCHIE!
Hopeing that you are turning the curve now though - I am not looking forward to the pain - but I know Ill survive and I know in the end I will look back and thank the lord above!

I'm not saying this just to make you feel better, I promise...   My brachioplasty w/ lipo really wasn't what I consider "painful.' I've had abdominal surgeries and those were painful. The liposuction and the arm "defatting" was more of a, "I'm sore, but it's manageable" and it stung a bit. But the painkillers helped a lot.

Good luck on your upcoming procedure!

Thanks for the Advice.... youre definitely right!  I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said "You really had me working! I beat your legs up pretty bad...." I'm excited knowing he did all he could, and that the end result should be a good one..... but the pain in the meantime is a real downer!  Good luck with your surgery!!!

My lipo pain on the sides was by far the worst but in 2-2 1/2 weeks it was MUCH better.

I'm a week and a half out now! One week to go! I'll be waiting anxiously :)
